Tips for Employers to Find the
Perfect Corporate Housing
• Look for a popular location. If you can find an apartment close to the place of work that
would be a big advantage to both the employee and employer.
• Make sure that apartments are furnished. See the apartment in person to guarantee you will
be receiving the right furniture for your situation.
• Look for all inclusive payments where you can pay for utilities and rent at the same time. This
will make things much easier for your employee and make them happy, which will pay off for
you in the long-run.
• Search for flexible lease options. Property managers should provide short-term and long-
term options, from months to years. Knowing that you might pay a premium fee for leases
shorter than three months will stand you in good stead.
• Find a good owner. Doing your research online will help extinguish any potential problems
with owners of the corporate housing. Websites like Yelp are reliable and trustworthy. You
can even go further than a digital search. Pick up the phone or meet in person. This will give
you a feel for how helpful they will be with potential future issues.
