How to Turn Your Empty Rental into a 30-Day Moneymaker in Los Angeles

If you own a vacant unit in Los Angeles—whether it’s an ADU, a small apartment, or a condo—there’s a high-earning opportunity hiding in plain sight: 30-day+ furnished rentals, also known as mid-term rentals (MTRs).

Why Mid-Term Rentals?

With Los Angeles enforcing strict rules against short-term Airbnb-style stays, the demand for furnished rentals that meet the 30-day minimum has exploded. These rentals are popular with:

  • Travel nurses

  • Corporate relocations

  • Families displaced by insurance claims or construction

  • Grad students and researchers

Unlike long-term tenants, these renters pay a premium for flexibility and convenience—and they expect a move-in ready home.

The Problem: Empty Units with Untapped Potential

Many property owners sit on vacant or underperforming units that don’t appeal to the mid-term market. A lack of furnishings, poor design, or unclear compliance status leaves money on the table. And while long-term leases may seem safe, they can limit income and flexibility.
