How it works

Three steps. No surprises.

A straightforward fixed-rent agreement — you keep ownership, we take on the operating risk.

01

We assess your property

We start with an online assessment of your property and give you a preliminary fixed-rent estimate, usually the same day. We then schedule a visit to confirm the final amount.

02

We sign a fixed-rent agreement

A clear, straightforward agreement. You choose the term. Rent is paid every month, occupied or not.

03

We operate, you get paid

We furnish, list, host guests, clean and maintain the property. You receive the same rent, deposited on schedule.

Why owners choose us

Everything under one roof.

Most arbitrage operators subcontract cleaning and maintenance to whoever's available that week. We don't.

Housekeeping

In-house cleaning team

Our own trained housekeeping staff, on payroll — not a rotating gig-platform crew that changes every turnover.

Linen & laundry

Industrial laundry facility

Hotel-grade in-house laundry with fast turnaround, so linen quality and availability never depend on a third-party contract.

Upkeep

Dedicated maintenance team

A maintenance crew on call for our own portfolio — faster response, consistent standards, no marketplace of freelancers.

Compliance

In-house legal & licensing specialists

We have in-house legal specialists who guide you through the entire short-term rental (AL/RNAL) process, ensuring full compliance and an efficient process from start to finish.

The result for you: your property is cleaned, maintained and cared for by the same accountable team every time — which means fewer guest complaints, less wear, and a property that holds its value.

Where the risk sits

We carry the downside. You don't.

Most property managers charge a share of revenue — so when the property underperforms, their income drops too, but yours drops further, and they still get paid.

Typical revenue-share model

Manager's income scales down with yours

  • No guaranteed minimum for the owner
  • Manager still earns a fee even in a slow month
  • Owner absorbs the full downside of low season
LHS

Our obligation doesn't move

  • Fixed rent paid to you every month, no exceptions
  • If the property underperforms, we absorb that cost — not you
  • Our margin depends on running it well, so our incentives match yours

In practice: we're contractually obligated to pay your fixed rent regardless of occupancy or season. That means keeping your property in top condition, priced right and consistently booked isn't just good service on our part — it's the only way we make our own margin work. There's no scenario where it benefits us for your property to underperform.

Built for owners of any size

One apartment or an entire building — same model.

The fixed-rent structure and the in-house team behind it don't change with scale.

Single property owners

One apartment, handled properly

You don't need a portfolio to work with us. A single unit gets the same fixed rent, the same in-house cleaning and maintenance team, and the same monthly payment as our largest partners.

Building & portfolio owners

Multiple units, one point of contact

For buildings or multi-unit portfolios, we structure a single agreement across all units, with one team, one contract and one predictable rent roll.

What partners say.

The rent lands the same day every month, whether it's August or February. That predictability is worth more to me than chasing a bigger number.

I stopped fielding maintenance calls the day we signed. Their team handles everything, and the building has never looked better.

I looked at three operators before choosing LHS. They were the only one guaranteeing rent regardless of performance.

Frequently asked questions

The questions we get asked most.

Common questions from owners before they get in touch.

What does "guaranteed rent" mean?

It means LHS pays you a fixed monthly rent for your property, every month, whether it's occupied or not. Instead of relying on a share of bookings, we take on the operating risk ourselves — if the property has a slow month, that cost is ours, not yours.

What's the difference between guaranteed rent and commission-based management?

With commission-based management, the manager takes a percentage of revenue — if the property underperforms, your income drops and so does theirs, but they still get paid something. With guaranteed rent, the monthly amount is fixed upfront and doesn't move with occupancy or season. We cover this in detail in our guide, "Guaranteed rent vs. commission-based management."

Do I need my property registered for short-term rental (AL/RNAL)?

Yes, it is required. Our in-house legal team guides you through the entire short-term rental (AL/RNAL) registration process, ensuring full compliance and a simple, efficient process.

What kind of properties do you accept?

We work with apartments, houses and entire buildings — for single-property owners as well as multi-unit portfolios. We start with an online assessment, then schedule a visit only to confirm the final offer.

How does the contract and payment work?

We sign a fixed-rent agreement with a term of your choosing. Rent is deposited every month, on the agreed date, regardless of that period's occupancy.

How long until I get an offer?

We typically give you a preliminary rent estimate the same day, through an online assessment. The final offer is confirmed after visiting the property.
