Looking for temporary housing during a home renovation or relocation? Consider extended-stay hotels, vacation rentals, corporate housing, staying with friends or family, or temporary housing services.
From home renovations to relocating and anything in between, life can be unpredictable. One minute, your home is your haven; the next, it’s an obstacle course of dust and noise. Or even worse, it’s uninhabitable due to flooding or other unforeseen circumstances.
Managing all the design ideas, repair estimates and renovation projects starts to feel like a second job. You’re spending your nights and weekends chasing contractors for all sorts of reasons.
For professionals relocating to Houston, you’re busy settling into a new company culture and learning your way around a new city. Looking for the home of your dreams becomes a project with a tight deadline.
If you find yourself in any of these situations, you may need to find somewhere else to stay for a while. And that’s where Lodgeur comes in, with professionally-designed, stylish and comfortable furnished apartments in the heart of the city.
Home renovations and relocations can be stressful and disruptive. If you’re in the midst of a home improvement project or moving to a new location, finding the right temporary accommodation can make all the difference in ensuring a smooth and comfortable transition.
Here are some options to consider when looking for temporary housing during a home renovation or relocation:
Many hotels offer extended-stay options with amenities like mini fridges, microwaves and laundromats. If you plan to cook a meal during your stay, this won’t be your first choice.
Websites like Airbnb and VRBO offer vacation rental properties that can be rented for longer periods. These often offer more space and flexibility than hotels and can be a good option if you don’t mind paying the fees. Expect to pay 10.6% to Airbnb for long-term stays booked through its platform.
Corporate housing providers offer fully-furnished apartments and homes with short-term lease options. These can be a good option if you know your end date won’t change and you don’t mind paperwork and phone calls.
If you have friends or family in the area, consider asking if you can stay with them during your renovation or relocation. This can be a cost-effective option, but gets old quickly.
When looking for temporary housing during a home renovation or relocation, it’s important to consider your budget, location, and specific needs. Research your options and book in advance to ensure you have a comfortable and stress-free transition.
Lodgeur offers flexible and furnished short-term rentals in Houston, so you can stay for as long as you need without the worry of committing to a lengthy lease, or dealing with the extra fees associated with booking sites.
With Lodgeur’s dozens of serviced apartments based centrally in Houston, you can be certain to find just the right one for yourself and your family. Unlike Airbnb-style bookings which require a strict end date with other potential reservations blocking any extension of stay, our furnished apartments provide the convenience and assurance that comes with extended stays, without uncertainties.
We understand that you may need temporary housing for an unknown amount of time due to home renovations, relocating to Houston, or even insurance-related issues. That’s why we strive to make your experience seamless, by not requiring a fixed term and allowing you to extend your stay in our Houston serviced apartments as needed.
At Lodgeur, our furnished apartments are designed for short or extended stays of over 30 nights. If you book an extended stay you can easily ask us to block the calendar so you can keep extending. Stays of 30+ nights also won’t incur local taxes (17%), making it more cost-effective than shorter rentals.
Plus, when you book directly with us, you don’t have to pay fees associated with booking sites. No need to worry about those extra costs that come with simply trying to find a place to stay for the interim.
Since you’re already busy dealing with your next home, Lodgeur includes cleaning services every 2 weeks on extended stays of 30+ nights.
To make things easier, Lodgeur offers monthly payment options for stays over 30 nights. Place a deposit now and pay for your first month 14 days before checkin. (You will see the details on the booking page.)
Home renovations that might take weeks or months. Repairing and restoring a building is noisy, messy work. Many renovating homeowners find it difficult to plan the new design, work from home and manage a family with workers traipsing through your space all day. It be easier to relocate the family a bit farther from the base of the renovation operation.
Professionals who have relocated to Houston for their jobs typically don’t know how long it will take to find their next home, or when it will be available. Plans change. You can wait for the right home in the location you want.
Homeowners whose homes have been damaged and are having repairs done, or are otherwise unable to return home until their home is safe, functional and restored. (Check to see if your insurance company will cover the cost of your stay while your house is being renovated.)
Families selling a home who want to stay in a different location while the property is being marketed for sale. No need to panic clean your main living spaces or crate the dog every time a showing is booked. Some guests plan to stay with Lodgeur when there is a gap between selling the old house and closing on the new house.
We’re here to make sure you’re taken care of whatever your reasons for needing a furnished home. That’s why we offer flexible extended stays for any amount of time. Rest easy knowing you have a comfortable place to stay while your “real” home is being taken care of.
As we said, plans change and timeline evolve. But that doesn’t mean you have to feel unsettled just because you have relocated.
At Lodgeur, we make sure you can stay exactly where and for however long you need—so you can relax and focus on the things that really matter. Our Houston serviced apartments are furnished, turnkey, and conveniently located, allowing you to feel at home without the need to commit to a long term lease or to move out ahead of an arbitrary deadline to make room for the next guest.
