What is corporate housing?

Corporate housing is fully furnished, move-in-ready accommodation rented to relocating professionals, employees, and traveling teams, typically on 30+ day leases booked by or for an employer. It includes furniture, utilities, and amenities, and serves as a more spacious, cost-effective alternative to extended-stay hotels.

How is corporate housing different from Airbnb?

Corporate housing is a furnished mid-term lease of 31 nights or more, booked by employers and relocation managers, and exempt from short-term rental rules. Airbnb-style nightly renting is a regulated short-term product capped at 120 nights, restricted to primary residences, and banned in cities like Beverly Hills. Corporate housing is steadier and carries no ordinance risk.

Which LA neighborhoods have the most corporate housing demand?

Demand clusters around major employers: Playa Vista and the Silicon Beach tech campuses, Culver City for Sony, Amazon, and Apple, Manhattan Beach and the South Bay for SpaceX and aerospace, and West Hollywood and Studio City for entertainment and production.

What do corporate housing managers charge?

Short Stay in LA charges 10% to 20% of managed revenue depending on tier, with no onboarding fees and no lock-in. This sits well below the 20% to 30% that nightly short-term rental managers typically charge.

What we run for corporate housing owners

We turn your home into a corporate-ready furnished rental and place it with the relocation managers, studios, and employers who book months at a time. That means a professional furnished standard, the documentation and invoicing corporate tenants expect, screening, lease handling, turnover, and a single monthly statement. The tenant pool is salaried, vetted, and low-turnover, which makes corporate housing one of the steadiest furnished products in LA.

The LA employer map

Corporate demand in LA clusters tightly around its employers. Playa Vista anchors the Silicon Beach tech campuses (Google, YouTube, Meta). Culver City draws Sony, Amazon Studios, and Apple. Manhattan Beach and the South Bay run on SpaceX and aerospace. West Hollywood and Studio City serve entertainment and production. Owning near one of these clusters is the single biggest driver of corporate-housing rate and occupancy.

Why corporates pay a premium

Companies pay above market for turnkey, professionally run furnished homes because the alternative, an extended-stay hotel, costs more and serves a relocating executive or family poorly. A well-presented corporate rental wins on space, privacy, and location. For the demand picture in detail, see our corporate housing demand analysis and the relocation housing guide for corporations. Owners weighing the model should read corporate housing vs Airbnb.

Compliance is built in

Corporate housing runs on furnished stays of 31 nights or more, which keeps it exempt from the LA Home-Sharing Ordinance, the 120-night cap, and the transient occupancy tax. It is legal in every neighborhood we serve, including the ones that ban nightly short-term rental outright. That compliance simplicity is part of why corporate housing is so dependable.
