Listing your property

Sign up for a free landlord account, then click "List your property." The wizard walks you through the listing details, photos, availability, proof of ownership, and your subscription plan. Your listing is reviewed by a person, usually within one business day, then goes live.

A listing needs at least one photo and can hold up to 20. Aim for 5–15 high-resolution photos covering: living area, kitchen, every bedroom, every bathroom, exterior, and any standout amenities (pool, gym, view, parking). Bright, daytime, decluttered photos perform best. The first photo is your main listing photo; drag to reorder.

Yes. On your Listings page, open the listing's "Actions" menu and choose "Edit." You can change rent, availability, amenities, photos, and description at any time. Address fields are locked once a listing is approved by our admins (to prevent bait-and-switch); to change the address, open the listing with "View" and use "Request Address Change" on that page, and our team reviews it.

Yes. Each step is saved when you click "Save & Continue", so you can leave between steps and come back later. Unfinished drafts appear on the "Add a listing" page and under the "Draft" status on your Listings page. A draft is not visible to tenants and is not billed.

Yes. You have two paths:

• Open VELA (the chat assistant in the bottom right) and paste your existing listing URL. VELA pulls in the available details and pre-fills your wizard for review.
• On the "Add a listing" page, click "Import owned listing URLs", paste one listing page address per line, and confirm you own the listings or have written permission to reuse them. Each address becomes a draft.

Either way, you review and edit everything, add your ownership document, and choose a plan before the listing goes live.

For mid-term furnished rentals, one month's rent is the most common security deposit. State law caps how much you can hold, so always check your specific state and city limits before publishing.

A few examples:

• California: 2× monthly rent for unfurnished, 3× for furnished.
• New York: 1× monthly rent for any residential lease.
• Most states: somewhere between 1× and 2× monthly rent.

Hold the deposit in a separate account if your jurisdiction requires it (most do for stays over 30 days). Itemize any deductions in writing within the statutory window after move-out (typically 14 to 30 days).

Furnished Unfurnished does not collect or hold deposits; that's strictly between you and the tenant.

Rent and deposits happen directly between landlord and tenant after a signed lease. Furnished Unfurnished does not collect rent, hold deposits, or act as escrow. Furnished Unfurnished does not offer damage protection or insurance, and does not handle damage claims. We do not mediate financial disputes between landlord and tenant.

No. There is no requirement to migrate. Most landlords with established portfolios list on both platforms for maximum exposure to traveling professionals. You keep your Furnished Finder listings exactly as they are, and add Furnished Unfurnished as an additional channel.

Three options, depending on how you manage your properties:

• Direct PMS integration. If you use Guesty, Hospitable, OwnerRez or Hostaway, connect your account from /landlord/integrations and we will pull listings and availability automatically. Calendars stay in sync going forward with no manual work.
• iCal sync. Every Furnished Unfurnished listing accepts inbound iCal feeds. If your other platform or PMS publishes an iCal export URL, paste it into your listing's calendar settings and availability syncs automatically.
• Manual. Update availability in each platform separately. We recommend this only if you have one or two properties.

Hospitable setup is something VELA can teach one step at a time. Before you start, use the Hospitable account that contains the listings you intend to connect and review properties already in Furnished Unfurnished to avoid duplicates.

1. Sign in to your landlord account and open /landlord/integrations. 2. Find Hospitable and choose Connect Hospitable. 3. Sign in and approve access on Hospitable. Never paste your password or access token into Furnished Unfurnished. 4. Back in Furnished Unfurnished, choose Import all listings, Pick specific listings, or Connect existing properties based on what already exists in your account. 5. Keep the status page open while processing finishes and resolve any uncertain duplicate matches. 6. Review every new draft and any matched active property, then confirm Hospitable shows Connected with a successful last sync.

For screenshots, reconnect guidance, and troubleshooting, open /guides/connect-hospitable. If you reconnect later, approve the same Hospitable account that owns the listings already linked.

You usually do not need to choose. Furnished Unfurnished adds a monthly-plus demand channel alongside whatever you already run.

What you get:

• Flat per-property pricing: $9.99/month or $79.99/year. No booking fees, no commission.
• Direct tenant communication in one inbox.
• Reviewable draft tools for existing listing details and iCal sync with most platforms.
• Guesty, Hospitable, OwnerRez and Hostaway integrations to bring your listings across.
• State-aware lease generation with statute citations.
