Why Ministays

Built for the 30‑plus‑day stay.

Not a nightly rental, not a year-long lease. Ministays is the home for the months in between — and it’s where renting is going.

30 days to a year

Furnished homes priced by the month — the middle ground between a hotel and a lease.

Furnished & move-in ready

Show up with a suitcase. Every home comes furnished and stocked, set up for a long stay.

Secured by Stripe

Every payment runs through Stripe. Your security deposit is held with us until you check in.

Where rental is heading

Midterm is the fastest-growing slice of housing — fitting nurses, students, remote workers and relocating families.

How it works

Three easy steps to a place that’s yours for a while

1
Search your stay

Tell us where and how long. We surface furnished homes built for months, not nights.

2
Book it securely

Pay through Ministays. Your security deposit is held with us until you check in.

3
Move right in

Show up with a suitcase. Wifi, forks, fresh sheets — it's all already sorted.

Built different

The only platform designed around your kind of stay

Airbnb is built for vacations. Furnished Finder is a listing board. Ministays is the only marketplace where every feature — pricing, payments, verification, support — was designed from day one for the 1‑to‑12‑month renter.

Who uses Ministays

Built for people on the move

Whether it’s a contract, a semester, a relocation, or a fresh start — Ministays is home for as long as you need it.

Travel nurses

Three-month contracts in a new city. No time to apartment hunt — just a furnished place that’s ready on day one.

Remote workers

Work from anywhere actually means live anywhere. A new city every few months, without the commitment of a lease.

Students & interns

Semester-length stays or summer internships near campus — no 12-month lease, no random roommate situation.

Snowbirds

Escape the winter for a few months. A furnished home in a warmer city, ready when you arrive, gone when you leave.

Corporate relocation

New job, new city. A comfortable furnished home while you get settled and find your permanent place.

Insurance displacement

When the unexpected happens and you need a place to stay. A furnished home beats a hotel while your claim is processed.

Loved by guests and hosts

Guest

“I book a new city every few months for work, and finding furnished places used to eat my whole first week. With Ministays I found my 4-month apartment in an afternoon.”

Maya R.Travel nurse · 4-month stay
Guest

“We relocated across the country for a six-month contract and were dreading the housing hunt. Ministays handled touring, paperwork, and payment in one place.”

Devin & SamRelocating couple · 6 months
Host

“I host a guest suite and used to dread the constant nightly turnover. With Ministays I get one reliable guest for months at a time, and everyone's already verified.”

Lena K.Host · Austin, TX
Guest

“Before this I was digging through Facebook groups and sketchy spreadsheets. Ministays felt like the grown-up version — real verified hosts, a clear monthly price, and support that actually answered.”

Aaron L.Grad student · 5-month stay
Host

“Between long-term tenants my condo used to sit empty for weeks. Now I list it for midterm stays and it's booked by screened professionals almost immediately.”

Raymond O.Host · Denver, CO
Guest

“What sold me was that my security deposit was held with Ministays until I checked in. I showed up, the place was exactly as listed, and everything felt completely safe.”

Priya N.Consultant · 3-month stay
Guest

“I bounce between cities between leases and needed something longer than a hotel but simpler than a lease. Ministays was built for exactly that — one flat monthly rate.”
