Otto Stay runs well-located London flats as small, quiet “mini hotels”. You choose how you’re paid: commission, flexible revenue share or guaranteed rent. We handle everything else.
Choose the structure that matches your risk profile and goals. We’re happy to talk through numbers for each model before you decide.
Two partnership models for landlords who want to keep ownership and flexibility, while letting Otto Stay handle the work.
You stay the legal landlord, we operate the flat as a short-let. Ideal if you want the highest possible yield without dealing with guests.
A middle ground between management and guaranteed rent. Income and certain costs are shared, so both sides are aligned on performance.
For risk-averse landlords, guaranteed rent behaves like a long tenancy, but with your flat kept in “hotel condition” throughout the term.
A straightforward agreement: you receive a fixed rent every month for the term, and Otto Stay runs the unit as a short-let.
We help bring the flat up to a guest-ready standard, from layout to linen, so it photographs well and performs well.
A quick comparison of the three landlord models. We’re happy to run sample numbers for your specific flat.
A simple four-step process to go from first conversation to the first guest – or the first guaranteed rent payment.
Share your flat details (postcode, size, photos). We provide expected figures for all three models.
We review the property in person or via video, check building rules and agree which model fits best.
Contracts are signed, we organise styling, photos, cleaning and listing creation.
The flat goes live under Otto Stay. We manage operations; you receive regular statements and payouts.
A few common questions. We’re always happy to talk through anything specific to your building or situation.
We focus on professional guests: business travellers, project teams, relocations and families visiting London. We do not target party bookings and we apply firm house rules from the outset.
We take building relationships seriously. We respect restrictions, manage noise expectations clearly with guests and keep communication lines open with building management where needed.
The simplest step is to send basic details of your flat and your preferred model (or ask for our recommendation). We’ll reply with a realistic outline of what each option could look like in practice.
This depends on the model and the flat, but we typically work from 6–12 months and longer, especially for guaranteed rent or revenue share agreements.
Send a link, a few photos or just the postcode and basics. We’ll come back with clear, no-pressure options across Full Management, Revenue Share and Guaranteed Rent.
