Making the Right Temporary Housing Choice

Teresa Vidger - Thursday, April 28, 2011

There are many reasons why an individual or family would require temporary housing services.  Families that have been displaced due to fire or natural disasters, business travelers, corporate transferees relocating from one city to another, government employees on temporary assignments, snowbirds, and consultants are some examples of those people needing somewhere to call home for a few days or a few months.

When it’s time to decide where to stay, there are a lot of factors to consider including length of stay, location, cost-effectiveness, comfort and convenience.    It is important to talk with a housing expert to help you determine the best solution for your unique needs. 

There are a few choices that may be acceptable based on your situation.  For example if you are a consultant and only staying on assignment for two weeks a full service or extended stay hotel would most likely meet your requirements.  With families that only need accommodations for a few nights an extended stay or suite hotel would most likely be the best option as most of these hotels have partial kitchen or full kitchen facilities.

Another option is a corporate apartment or furnished home is an ideal and typically more cost effective solution for those individuals or families that will need a temporary place to live for 3 weeks or longer.  Guest enjoys more living space, full-size kitchens to make meals, separate bedrooms that are private and even room for their pets!  Furnished housing allows you the convenience of choosing a location in your desired neighborhood whether it is in the city or is a quiet residential neighborhood near your children’s school.   

For those families or individuals living in more rural locations or that want to stay on their properties another convenient housing option is renting mobile homes or travel trailers that come fully furnished with furniture, housewares and even utility hook ups. 

There are many types of temporary housing choices and by working with a consultant who is trained in accessing the most important factors in the decision process will make it easier for you to make the right housing selection based on your specific situation.

Temporary Housing Directory Helps Combat Higher Foreclosures

Teresa Vidger - Monday, January 10, 2011

Is Wall Street’s inching towards recovery any indication that our current economic crisis may be on the ebb? A tough economy has led to higher foreclosures as close to over 980,000 homes were repossessed by banks. According to RealtyTrac this is the highest annual tally of properties lost to foreclosure on records dating back to 2005.

But there’s no need to feel distressed! Temporary Housing Directory is very cognizant of this foreclosure reality and we are doing everything we can to help protect policy holders, insurance adjusters, insurance companies, and the temporary housing industry overall in ensuring their customers don’t get placed in a house or landlord in a negative situation. 

THD searches for single dwelling homes from private landlords.  For example, when a house burns down, the displaced family faced with loss of use needs immediate relocation and emergency temporary housing. They also need like kind homes in close proximity to every day conveniences in safe communities. THD makes their relocation an easy and stress free experience.

How does THD help in the prevention of renting foreclosed properties?

  • We pay the rent on behalf of the insurer directly to the landlord, so if there are any issues we can hold rent until the situation is rectified.
  • THD has partnered with established companies like RealtyTrac.
  • We do detailed background checks on landlords to ensure that families are being put in a nice dwelling.  We also verify that the landlord is up to date on other properties and are not in any type of pre-foreclosure situation. 
  • With our due diligence, any negatives are “red-lighted” immediately.

Don’t let the gloomy foreclosure scene get you down or worried. Contact us online or give us a call now at 800-817-3220. We have the depth of knowledge, width of expertise and length of experience to help you find the right rental.
