Today, Zumper, North America’s largest privately owned rental marketplace, announces a partnership with Airbnb to market Airbnb-friendly rental communities directly on Zumper’s platform. All Airbnb-friendly apartments will receive a special badge and filter on Zumper, a first of its kind feature for any ILS.
This partnership will make it easy for renters to find homes where they can earn extra money from hosting Airbnb stays part-time in their units. Airbnb-friendly rental communities can also elect to earn a share of the revenue from stays as well as have visibility and controls over the number of nights that may be hosted per year, occupancy limits, and more. The success of the program can be easily monitored and analyzed using Airbnb tools.
“Through our partnership with Airbnb, we are excited to usher in a new age of flexible renting to Zumper’s users,” said Anthemos Georgiades, CEO of Zumper. “Renters will be able to discover multifamily communities on Zumper where they can earn extra income from renting out their unit on Airbnb part-time. At the same time, property owners and management companies can empower tenants to host guests responsibly on Airbnb, while also making their community stand out from the pack when renters are considering where to live.”
18 of the NMHC Top 50 partner with Airbnb.1 In fact, many communities listed as Airbnb-friendly have reported positive engagements among renters. For instance, 57 percent of Airbnb-friendly marketplace leads request a tour.2 And 85 percent of multifamily partners using Airbnb tools report improvement in resident sentiment.3 Additionally, renters and owners can have more peace of mind with AirCover protection, Airbnb’s program that helps protect hosts against damage and liability, plus 24-hour Airbnb support.
“We are thrilled to partner with Zumper to bring more renters to Airbnb-friendly apartments.” said Jesse Stein, Head of Airbnb for Real Estate. “Traditionally, renters haven’t always had an easy time finding a home they could host on Airbnb. That’s why we launched the Airbnb-friendly marketplace and why this partnership with Zumper is so meaningful. Everyone should have the opportunity to earn extra income on their space.”
The Airbnb-friendly filter can be found on the filters bar of every city page on Zumper. You can find an example of an Airbnb-friendly community here: https://www.zumper.com/apartment-buildings/p416069/milo-hale-denver-co
