Why we price your home, not the market

A Davis rental discussion begins with the building itself. The city requires business licensing and lodging-tax registration, and it excludes affordable housing and limits short stays in accessory units.

For a home that meets those requirements, the campus calendar gives us concrete dates to discuss alongside your own availability. UC Davis commencements and Picnic in the Park provide distinct dates to review before choosing which nights to make available.

Tell us about the rooms, amenities and dates you can make available. We can then review comparable homes by hand and explain how we would approach the listing and its calendar.

Questions

Davis owners usually ask

What does One Fine BnB charge in Davis?

Partner 10% (owner has their own cleaning and maintenance team). Full Service from 20%, one-time $500 onboarding retainer. Management fees apply to rental revenue, never guest-paid cleaning fees, taxes or deposits.

Who pays for cleaning between stays?

Guests do, through the cleaning fee on the booking, so turnovers cost you nothing.

How does the estimate work?

Send the address and the number of bedrooms. We look up your home, check real comparable homes by hand and account for your amenities. Then we schedule a call to go over the results with you.

Can I offer my Davis accessory unit for short stays?

Davis prohibits rentals of less than thirty consecutive days in ADUs and JADUs. The state handbook requires terms longer than thirty days for ADUs and JADUs covered by Government Code Section 66323.

What does the city require before I arrange a short-term rental?

Davis requires a business license, and its transient occupancy rules require operators to register with the Finance Director and post the registration certificate. Affordable and low-income housing remain excluded from this short-stay offering.
