Zeus is a corporate housing provider that leases unique homes in Boston, New York, Seattle, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., and the San Francisco Bay area. We furnish and equip the homes we manage, and then rent them out to our corporate clients for business stays of 30 days or longer. We guarantee rent each month to our owners over the term of the lease. To see if your property qualifies, enter your address here, or give us a call at (415) 849-4662.

Because we are a master tenant and do not occupy the home, but rather sublet to our corporate residents, we do not pay a security deposit to owners. We guarantee to provide the home back to you in equal or better condition than when we found it subject to normal wear and tear.

Our preferred home for corporate housing is a studio up to 4-bedroom residence. We also look for homes with an equal ratio of bedrooms to bathrooms and require our homes to have dishwashers, on-site or in-home laundry, covered parking, and be near public transportation hubs. Homes with recently updated or current kitchens and bathrooms are also required. Allowance for pets is a big plus!

Zeus will cover any resident damage at no cost to the owner. For issues caused by age, deferred maintenance, or Acts of God, Zeus will repair or oversee repairs at the expense of the owner.

We currently operate in Boston, New York, Seattle, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area.

There are three levels of insurance coverage on every Zeus home: the owner's homeowners insurance, Zeus’ $3,000,000 commercial liability plan, and required individual resident renters insurance.

We are an equal housing opportunity provider that specializes in corporate housing.

Zeus requires all residents to complete a rental application with background information and credit verification powered by Experian or proof of funds.

Most residents stay for 2-4 months.

Our rental offer takes into consideration recent comparables from both furnished and unfurnished homes, as well as the market rates of other corporate housing providers.

The Zeus revenue-share lease agreement is derived from a standard local residential lease (for instance, in San Francisco, the San Francisco Apartment Association lease) with special consideration and clauses for the needs of corporate housing and variable rent payment. Our typical lease term is two years.

Our in-house home design team will completely furnish your home and equip it with essentials for corporate stays like working desk areas, HDTVs, bed linens, bathroom and kitchen essentials.

We ask owners to continue paying for municipal account utilities like water and garbage. Zeus will manage the non-municipal utilities like electricity, gas, cable, and internet (e.g., PG&E and Xfinity) and withhold those from the revenue share.

We spend a lot of time choosing the cities we call home. We don't have any future cities confirmed yet, but we'll let you know as soon as we do!

No.

All we require is an unpaid 10-day onboarding period. Our progressive revenue-share tiers work like tax brackets: The fee starts at only 4% and increases based on how much we exceed the market rent.

Yes. In 2020, Zeus shifted our business model to better align owners' and our residents' objective to rent high-quality furnished homes in desirable locations, while targeting a modern business travel audience and generating respectively higher returns for owners.

We don't offer viewings of our homes to respect the privacy and convenience of our current residents. However, we offer a 3D tour, floor plan, and photos for each home.

Our minimum stay length in all cities is 30 nights. We specialize in medium-term stays for a few reasons. First, we value relationships with our neighbors and take care to ensure residents come to Zeus to create a temporary home. Second, we are proud to operate in various cities with short-term regulations put in place by the Home Owners Association. Finally, we cater to the needs of our customers by providing longer-term options for relocations and business travel.

No, we offer furnished homes only. We have a fantastic in-house design team who furnishes and decorates each home.

We highly recommend that our residents obtain renter’s insurance. If you would like to waive insurance, contact our leasing team. We recommend Lemonade for competitive pricing and ease of use.

We stand by our homes. If within 3 days of the check in you are not satisfied with the property because it did not match the online photos or 3D tour, we will be happy to find you another Zeus home that is a better fit (subject to availability) .

Before checking into a home, you’ll be required to verify a government ID. This helps us keep our community and homes safe. You’ll only be asked to do this once.

When asked for an ID, you’ll need to submit a photo of a government ID (driver’s license, passport, etc.). You may also be asked to take a new photo of yourself, which helps us verify your identity.

Once you provide the information, our 3rd party verification software will check that your photo matches your ID, and that your ID appears to be valid. If we have trouble verifying your ID (which can happen if you are not who you say you are, but won't happen in many other cases), you may be asked to resubmit your ID verification information and your booking may be cancelled resulting in a loss of money already paid. See our cancellation policy for further details.

You can manage your verification status on your settings page.

You'll need to:

• Take a photo using your computer or mobile device’s web camera
• Upload an existing photo of your ID

Only government-issued IDs are accepted. Depending on what country or location you’re from, one of the following types of government IDs are accepted:

• Driver’s license

Simple! You check in on the start date of the lease and you check out by 11am on the end date of the lease. If you are unsure of your end date, ask Zeus for a flexible lease.

A flexible lease has no specific end date. When you’d like the lease to end, give us at least 30 days notice. For example, if today is January 1, the earliest your lease could end is January 31. You can end your lease in the middle of a month if you like. Note that on the end date you must check out of the home by 11am.
