MiniStays

Ministays is a U.S. marketplace for furnished monthly rentals and mid-term stays, connecting people who need a temporary home with hosts offering move-in-ready properties. Designed for stays of 30 days to a year, the platform offers an alternative between nightly accommodation and a year-long lease. Its listings serve travel nurses, remote workers, students and interns, relocating families, snowbirds, and people displaced by insurance claims, among others.

Guests can search by destination, dates, and group size, compare furnished homes with a monthly price, and contact hosts before booking. Ministays processes payments through its platform, holds security deposits until check-in, and says hosts and renters are identity-verified. Homes are furnished and stocked for longer stays, so guests can arrive with their essentials rather than arrange basic household items themselves. The company also highlights no host or guest service fees and a 24-hour cancellation window for a full refund. For property owners, Ministays provides a way to list homes for mid-term guests, with the aim of reducing turnover while filling available properties.
