Long Term Stays

[Peyton39]

Hello! 
I recently received an inquiry about a long term stay in my Airbnb for a traveling nurse. I just wanted to see if anyone had advice on pricing and what is reasonable/fair?

thank you!

@Peyton39 one way to look at is is to do a revenue calculation along the lines of:

Current rent = X per night

Current utilisation = 60%

Therefore X times 60% would generate the same revenue.

BUT costs may be higher as heating/lighting will be 140% as opposed to 100% so need to add something for this namely

New Rent = X times .6 PLUS (Costs*0.4)

Ignoring wear and tear this should generate an equivalent profit. However many hosts would expect additional profit for sweating the asset at 100% so perhaps add 20% to this equation????

Hey @Peyton39 

That’s a great question — and nice that a traveling nurse reached out! For long-term stays like that, especially 30+ days, most hosts offer a monthly discount between 10% and 25% depending on the area, season, and how utilities are handled.

A few tips to help set a fair rate:

• Check furnishedfinder.com or local Facebook housing groups for traveling nurse rates in your area.
• Factor in cleaning and utility costs — you’ll save on turnover days, but the longer stays can mean higher wear or energy use.
• Set clear terms (security deposit, cleaning schedule, and payment expectations) in your listing or house rules before confirming.

Traveling professionals are usually responsible and long-term guests help with stability — so it’s a win-win when priced right! 🌟
