Simplify Your Monthly Rental Management with Furnished Finder’s Updated Calendar Features

Managing a monthly rental (also referred to as a mid-term rental) has always been a more straightforward and efficient investment strategy compared to short-term rentals. With the average stay of about 90 days, that’s just four tenant changes per year—a fraction of the effort required for short-term rentals. Furnished Finder is making this process even smoother with its enhanced calendar features, giving landlords the tools they need to optimize their listings and streamline operations. Improving our calendar functionality was the number one request we heard from you, and we listened!
