Furnished Finder is the go-to platform for property owners seeking monthly, furnished rentals. Our suite of landlord tools makes it easier to manage your property while giving you and your tenants peace of mind. In this guide, we'll walk through how to make the most of these services — from setting up your listing to screening tenants, creating leases, collecting rent, and protecting your property.
1. Get help creating an optimized listing with Listing Setup
A well-optimized listing is key to attracting quality tenants — but sometimes you don't know where to start or just don't have the time. Listing Setup connects you directly with the Furnished Finder support team, who will build and publish your listing from start to finish.
How it works:
After you've purchased an annual subscription with Furnished Finder, (opens in new tab) our team uses their expert knowledge about top performing listings to set up yours, including tips on photos (opens in new tab), descriptions, and pricing.
We actively complete and publish your listing from start to finish to ensure it stands out to travelers looking for monthly accommodations.
Already listed on another rental site? We can copy over the key information and get you up and running on Furnished Finder in no time.

2. Feel confident about the tenant you choose with Tenant screening
Tenant screening is one of the most important steps in protecting your property. Furnished Finder's Tenant Screening service, powered by TransUnion, lets you vet potential renters through a criminal background check, eviction history, and a soft credit check — one that won't impact your tenant's credit score.
How it works:
The service runs a comprehensive background check covering credit history, eviction records, and criminal records, giving you a clear picture of who's applying before you hand over the keys.
How to use it:
When a potential renter expresses interest, request a screening through the platform. The tenant completes and pays for the report on their end. Once it's ready, review the details to make an informed decision.
Note: Be sure to clearly communicate to tenants that this is a soft credit check, which won’t affect their credit scores.
3. Set the terms before anyone moves in with Leases & Legal Documents
A lease does more than state the rent. It defines who's responsible for what, sets expectations from day one, and keeps you covered if questions come up later. Every document on Furnished Finder is lawyer-vetted and built to current state laws — powered by Rocket Lawyer.
How it works:
Pick a customizable template, walk through the guided builder, and send for e-signature in minutes. Both parties can review and sign digitally. No paper, no back-and-forth, no chasing signatures. Completed documents are stored securely and easy to pull up whenever you need them.
Available document types
Lease Agreement — Set the terms for renting your property
Lease Renewal Agreement — Extend the arrangement with a tenant you want to keep
Eviction Notice — Formally notify a tenant to vacate
Pet Addendum — Add a pet to an existing lease
Maintenance Report Form — Document the details of any maintenance work
Notice of Abandoned Personal Property — Alert a former tenant to belongings left behind
4. Streamline rent collection with Online payments
Managing rent payments is easier than ever with Online Payments, powered by Baselane. Collection, tracking, and reminders and handled automatically — so the money shows up and you stay focused on everything else.
How it works:
Enter your rent details, set up your payout, and invite your tenant. From there, Baselane takes over. Payments come in via secure bank transfer, land in your account in as fast as two business days, and every transaction is logged automatically. No spreadsheets, no follow-up texts, no wondering if it cleared.
How to use it:
Set up one-time or recurring payments for the duration of your rental agreement directly through your Baselane account.
Pro tip: Get Online Payments set up before your lease is signed so you can collect the first month's rent at signature.
5. Reduce disputes by prompting renters to protect their belongings with Renter’s Insurance
Renter's insurance protects both landlords and tenants from liability in case of accidents or damages during the lease period. Furnished Finder makes it easy for tenants to obtain coverage through Sure, covering personal belongings, liability, and damages — which reduces your exposure as a landlord at the same time.
How it works:
Tenants apply for coverage directly through Furnished Finder. Their policy covers personal property and liability for accidents on the property, giving both parties a layer of protection throughout the lease.
How to use it:
Require renter's insurance as part of your lease agreement, or offer it as a strong recommendation. Either way, it's one less thing to worry about if something comes up.
6. Protect your property with a plan built specifically for rentals with Landlord Insurance
Most landlords find out the hard way: standard homeowner's insurance stops covering your property the moment a tenant moves in. Damage, liability, lost rental income — none of it is covered once you're hosting. Landlord Insurance, powered by Steadily, picks up exactly where homeowner's coverage leaves off. It's built for tenant-occupied properties, supports LLC ownership and multiple properties, and is designed specifically for the risks that come with monthly rentals.
How it works:
Steadily offers customizable policies to fit your needs as a landlord, including protection against fire, theft, vandalism, natural disasters, and liability if someone is injured on your property.
How to use it:
Get a quote in minutes with just your street address. From there, the Steadily team will help you compare and select the right plan for your property.
Pro tip: Get your plan in place before move-in. Once a tenant is in the door, coverage gaps are harder to close.
