Corporate Housing
Corporate Housing Management in Atlanta
Corporate housing is the same asset run on commercial terms. The occupant is an employee; the payer is a company with an approval chain, a benchmarked allowance, and an accounts-payable department. We set your property up to satisfy all three.

Who this is for
Furnished homes for relocations, project teams, and executive assignments.
Every property is different. These are the owners this service was built around — if one of them sounds like you, we should talk.
- Owners of furnished homes and condos inside the Perimeter, in Central Perimeter, or along the Alpharetta technology corridor who want longer, steadier bookings.
- Owners who would rather invoice a company on net terms than chase a card payment from a consumer.
- Owners in buildings where short-term rentals are prohibited but 30-day-plus leases are allowed.
- Investors with two or more comparable units who can take a project team that needs several homes at once.
- Owners who want the mid-term stability of a corporate tenant without becoming the person answering relocation paperwork at 9pm.
The occupant is not the customer
This is the mental shift that separates corporate housing from a monthly Airbnb booking. The person sleeping in the bed is an employee. The person deciding whether your property gets used is a relocation consultant, a corporate travel manager, an HR business partner, or a project staffing coordinator — and they are choosing from a list, against a policy, with a budget they did not set.
That changes what wins the booking. A coordinator is not moved by a hero shot of the kitchen island. They are checking commute time to a specific office, whether parking is assigned or a gamble, whether the internet will hold a video call, whether the lease can flex if the project slips six weeks, whether you will invoice on net terms, and whether you can produce a W-9 and a certificate of insurance today rather than next Tuesday.
It also changes the tone of the relationship. Corporate placements repeat. A coordinator who has a good experience with one unit will call about the next assignment, and the one after that. Getting the boring parts right — paperwork, invoicing, a named contact who answers — is worth more over three years than any amount of styling.
Per diem is the ceiling on a large slice of this market
Federal travellers are bound by the GSA per diem, and a great many private employers benchmark their own housing allowances to it because it is the defensible number. So it functions as a practical ceiling well beyond government work.
For fiscal year 2026, the GSA lodging rate for Atlanta — Fulton and DeKalb counties — is $182 per night from October through December 2025, $197 per night from January through March 2026, and $182 per night from April through September 2026. Meals and incidental expenses are set at $86 per day.
Convert that to a monthly equivalent and you have an honest ceiling for a large part of corporate demand. Price a unit meaningfully above it and you are no longer competing on value; you are asking a coordinator to seek an exception, which is exactly the friction that gets your property skipped. Price sensibly under it with better space, better parking, and a real kitchen and you win against an extended-stay hotel every time, because the traveller gets more and the employer pays less.
We price to the allowance the payer can actually approve, then we make the property obviously worth it. That is a different exercise from maximising a nightly rate, and it is why corporate units should not simply be run on short-term pricing software with a monthly discount stapled on.

Where corporate demand sits on the Atlanta map
Corporate housing demand is geographic in a way leisure demand is not. Nobody takes a 90-day assignment and then commutes across the top end of I-285 twice a day if they can help it.
Central Perimeter — Dunwoody, Sandy Springs, and the Brookhaven side — anchors a large share of professional-services and healthcare-administration assignments. The Cumberland and Galleria corridor pulls from Vinings, Smyrna, and Marietta. The Alpharetta and Johns Creek technology corridor runs its own ecosystem of contract engineers and implementation teams, with Duluth, Suwanee, and Peachtree Corners feeding it. Midtown and Tech Square draw consultants, product teams, and academic-industry secondments.
The airport corridor is its own market. College Park, Hapeville, and East Point serve aviation, logistics, and Hartsfield-Jackson-adjacent operations, where an assignment may be measured in weeks and the commute tolerance is close to zero. Norcross and Peachtree Corners take manufacturing and engineering project teams who want several units near one site.
We position each property to the corridors it can genuinely serve rather than claiming the whole metro. A well-targeted unit in Dunwoody beats a vaguely marketed one every time, because the coordinator is filtering on drive time before they look at anything else.
The commercial requirements that trip owners up
Corporate tenants ask for things a leisure guest never mentions, and an owner who cannot produce them loses the booking without ever knowing why.
Expect to supply a W-9 and to complete a vendor onboarding form. Expect a request for a certificate of insurance, sometimes naming the corporate client as an additional interested party. Expect to invoice on net terms rather than take a card at booking, and expect the invoice to need a purchase-order or cost-centre reference to clear accounts payable. Expect a named contact who answers within business hours and does not route the coordinator through a call queue.
On the property side the requirements are equally specific: assigned parking that is actually assigned, documented arrival instructions that work for a traveller who lands late, internet with a tested and stated speed, a genuine work surface, in-unit laundry wherever the property allows it, and a utility position agreed in writing so nobody argues about a bill in month three.
We run all of this as standard. It is unglamorous, and it is the reason a corporate account renews.
The agreement is the product
A corporate housing agreement is not a booking confirmation. It is a fixed-term contract with a named occupant, a defined start and end date, documented renewal mechanics, a clear early-termination path for when a project changes, a no-subletting clause, and a damage and condition regime that both sides signed at the start.
Georgia gives you no bright-line protection here. The state Landlord-Tenant Handbook is explicit that an extended stay guest could become a tenant based on an express agreement or conduct of the parties, so a long corporate stay is best structured and papered as though it is a tenancy from day one. Self-help eviction is illegal in Georgia in any event; removal runs through a dispossessory action in magistrate court.
There is one more obligation that catches owners specifically because they hired a manager. In Georgia, a landlord who owns more than ten rental units — or who contracts with a management agent, regardless of unit count — must place security deposits in a dedicated escrow account or post bond with the superior court clerk, and must give the tenant a complete signed list of existing damage before accepting the deposit. We tell owners this before signing rather than after, and we operate to that standard on every stay.
How we run a corporate unit
We start by deciding honestly whether the property is a corporate unit at all. Location relative to a real employment corridor, parking, internet, and the ability to seat someone at a desk for three months are the gates. If a property fails them, we will say so and recommend a different strategy rather than list it and let it sit.
From there: furnishing and equipment to spec, photography and copy written for a coordinator, and distribution across relocation desks, project-staffing firms, Furnished Finder, and the monthly channels. Furnished Finder is worth saying something honest about — its landlord pitch is no commissions, no booking fees, just 30+ day stays, which is true, and which also means the screening, the lease, the deposit handling, and the collections remain entirely your problem. Those are the parts we take over.
During the stay we run scheduled housekeeping and linen service, keep a single named contact on the account, handle extension requests before they become gaps, and manage the invoice cycle to term. Between stays we turn the unit properly and refresh the condition record.
Our management fee is a percentage of collected rent, set against your property, its size and scope, and your market — quoted up front, in writing, before you sign anything.

Common questions
Corporate Housing Management — answered
What is the difference between corporate housing and a monthly Airbnb booking?
The payer and the paperwork. A monthly platform booking is a consumer transaction settled by card at the point of booking. Corporate housing is a business-to-business arrangement: a fixed-term agreement with a named occupant, a W-9 and often a certificate of insurance, invoicing on net terms to an accounts-payable department, and a named account contact. The physical property can be identical. The commercial operation is not.
Do I need a short-term rental licence for corporate housing in Atlanta?
Not if the stays are 30 consecutive days or longer. Atlanta ordinance 20-O-1656 defines a short-term rental as lodging for a period of time not to exceed 30 consecutive days, so a 30-plus-day corporate let falls outside the licence regime and outside the primary-residence-plus-one-dwelling cap. Outside the City of Atlanta, the local jurisdiction sets its own rules and we confirm the position for your address during onboarding.
How much can I charge a corporate tenant?
Benchmark to what the payer can approve. The GSA per diem lodging rate for Atlanta in fiscal year 2026 is $182 per night for October through December 2025, $197 per night for January through March 2026, and $182 per night from April through September 2026, with meals and incidentals at $86 per day. Many private employers set their allowances against that same table. Pricing above it forces a coordinator to seek an exception, which usually means they choose someone else. We price to the approvable number and make the property clearly better value than a hotel at that level.
How do I get onto a relocation company’s list?
By being easy to transact with. Coordinators build shortlists from suppliers who answer quickly, hold accurate availability, invoice properly, and do not create exceptions. We handle the vendor onboarding, keep availability current across channels, and maintain the account relationship so a good first placement turns into repeat ones. Nobody can guarantee you a corporate account, and we will not pretend otherwise — but consistent execution is what moves you up the list.
What happens if the assignment ends early?
This is why the early-termination clause matters. Corporate projects slip and get cancelled, and an agreement with no exit mechanism produces a dispute rather than a payment. We write a defined early-termination path with notice and a minimum term into the agreement up front, so both sides know the position before it is needed, and so the unit goes back to market quickly rather than sitting in limbo.
Do I need different insurance for corporate housing?
Almost certainly a different policy from a standard homeowner’s policy, and possibly different from your short-term rental cover. Corporate clients also frequently request a certificate of insurance as part of vendor onboarding. We will tell you what is being asked for and coordinate the paperwork, but the cover itself is a conversation for you and your broker — we do not place insurance.
Can you handle several units for one project team?
Yes, and it is one of the better uses of this service. Project teams frequently need three to eight comparable units near a single site, arriving and departing on a shared schedule. We can coordinate a block across multiple owners, keep the units consistent so the coordinator is not managing variations, and run a single invoicing relationship on behalf of the group.
