Guaranteed Rent Program

Fixed weekly rent. No hosting workload.

For eligible Sydney properties, Homelobby can become the tenant and short-stay operator under a clear written agreement.

Property keys ready for an approved guaranteed rent arrangement

The service

A more predictable property arrangement.

Once an eligible property is approved and an agreement is executed, you receive the agreed weekly rent while Homelobby takes responsibility for the short-stay operation.

Best suited to owners who:

  • Prefer predictable rent over variable booking income
  • Have a well-presented property in a suitable location
  • Want a professional operator as the single point of contact

What's included

The essentials, brought together.

The exact scope is confirmed for your property before work begins.

Fixed weekly rent

The agreed rent is not linked to short-stay occupancy after the written agreement begins.

Managed operations

Homelobby coordinates guests, housekeeping and the day-to-day short-stay activity.

Property care

Clear guest standards, turnover oversight and prompt issue escalation.

One point of contact

Owners and agents have a local contact for operational questions.

Written approvals

The arrangement proceeds only with documented terms and required consents.

Clear setup

Use, access and property responsibilities are agreed before launch.

How it works

A clear path from review to launch.

Assess

We review the location, home and operating suitability.

Agree

If eligible, we discuss rent, term, responsibilities and conditions.

Document

The lease, owner consent and required approvals are put in writing.

Prepare

We complete the agreed setup and operating checks.

Operate

Homelobby manages the short-stay activity under the executed agreement.

Any rent guarantee applies only after property approval and execution of a written agreement. This page is general information and is not an offer or guarantee for a particular property.

Common questions

Know what to expect.

We confirm property-specific details and terms before you commit.

How is this different from full-service management?

Under full-service management, the owner receives booking revenue less agreed costs and fees. Under an approved guaranteed rent agreement, Homelobby pays the fixed rent set out in the written agreement.

Does the rent change with occupancy?

Not after an eligible property is approved and the written agreement is executed, unless the agreement itself provides otherwise.

Can any property join?

No. Property quality, location, building conditions, approvals and commercial viability are all assessed.

What lease term is offered?

The term is property-specific and is confirmed with the proposed rent and responsibilities before either party commits.

What approvals are required?

This can include owner or agent consent, lease permission, strata or building requirements, planning, NSW STRA registration, safety and insurance checks.
