US / Spain: Flexible housing marketplace Anyplace has announced a partnership with channel management solution Rentals United, one which they claim is “an industry first” for the mid- and long-term stay marketplace.
By partnering with Rentals United, Anyplace will connect with over 2,000 property managers who use the channel manager.
The partnership comes at a time where consumers are increasingly opting for extended stays over short-term stays due to the impact of Covid-19, with 50 per cent of Anyplace tenants extending their stay after 30 days.
Steve Satoru Naito, founder and CEO of Anyplace, said: “We’re so excited about the partnership with Rentals United. This is our first channel manager integration on the Anyplace platform, and this integration can not only provide a smoother booking process for the customers but it will bring properties that already use Rentals United to our platform.”
Through this partnership, Anyplace will offer property managers and operators simple and instant onboarding, the ability to sell on a marketplace dedicated to mid- and long-term stays, and vet, qualify, and screen guests for their properties.
James Burrows, CEO of Rentals United, said: “Rentals United strongly believes in the diversification of distribution strategies for property managers, especially during these challenging times. Partnering with Anyplace then provides our clients with a full set of connections that they require for success.”
Both Rentals United and Anyplace believe that the collaboration will directly address the current needs of the rental industry with a new and seamless process for property managers looking to grow their business with extended stays.
