What is Corporate Housing?
Corporate housing is a professionally managed industry that provides fully furnished, temporary residential-style accommodations for individuals and corporations, typically for stays longer than 30 days. It includes furnished apartments, condominiums and single-family homes equipped with all essential amenities such as furniture, housewares, utilities and often additional services for a seamless living experience away from home. The industry primarily serves business professionals, relocating employees, military personnel and individuals displaced by various life circumstances, offering a more comfortable and homelike alternative to hotel stays. Corporate housing providers operate as insured business entities governed by leases and local regulations, ensuring a reliable, consistent and high-standard housing solution.

The Value of Corporate Housing
The corporate housing industry delivers significant value by meeting diverse temporary housing needs across many use cases. Its clients benefit from cost-effective, spacious and fully equipped accommodations that enhance comfort and productivity during business travel, long-term assignments, transitions, relocations, medical stays or disaster displacement. Compared to hotels, corporate housing often provides more living space and home amenities at a better cost per square foot, reducing total stay expenses for companies and professional travelers alike. The industry’s business-to-business model ensures compliance with tax regulations and property codes, creating a stable and trusted market. Corporate housing also supports employee well-being, offering a “home away from home” environment that fosters smoother transitions, greater privacy and family-friendly living arrangements in cities worldwide.

Providers and agents are insured business entities grounded in reliability and professionalism. They operate within formal tenant/landlord lease agreements and consistently fulfill rent obligations to property owners, ensuring a transparent and stable market presence.
Compliance
Fundamental to the industry is rigorous compliance. Corporate housing providers strictly adhere to tax laws, zoning regulations, health and safety standards, community lease restrictions and other local mandates.
