Rent-by-the-Room: what property managers need to know

| 9/18/26

Get the lowdown on rent-by-the-room strategies every property manager should know to boost their game.

Property managers know the challenge: door-by-door growth only gets you so far.

In this session, Suzanne Vetillart of PadSplit and property management acquisition specialist Stacey Salyer take a numbers-first look at rent-by-room as a way to increase revenue per property and create a new growth engine—without adding more doors.

We’ll break down the model using conservative assumptions, explain how PadSplit supports PM-run properties, and get into the operational realities that often hold operators back—including difficult tenancies, evictions, screening, documentation, and prevention.

You’ll also learn how PadSplit’s marketplace, member screening, 24/7 support, management tools, and new host protection tool, HostGuard, can reduce operational lift and help protect your portfolio.

Come for the numbers. Leave with a clearer understanding of whether rent-by-room belongs in your growth strategy.
