EzyFlats is built for Australian landlords who want a clearer way to list a fully furnished property for medium-term stays. If you are considering moving a property into the furnished rental market, the process is designed to be practical, structured, and easy to follow from the start.

EzyFlats sits in the middle ground between short-stay accommodation and a traditional 12-month lease. It is designed for furnished stays from 1 to 24 months, with verified renters, clear written agreements, and a platform that helps landlords manage the booking journey without unnecessary complexity.

What EzyFlats is

EzyFlats is a furnished medium-term rental platform for Australian landlords. Listing a property is free, and EzyFlats takes a 7% commission from each rent payment. Every renter is verified for identity, income, and references, and every booking is supported by a clear written agreement.

In South Australia, EzyFlats operates as a licensed real estate agency under RLA 346573. Outside South Australia, EzyFlats provides the platform, document service, verification process, and payment workflow, while the landlord remains the principal and signs the agreement directly with the tenant. That distinction is important, and it is built into the way the platform operates.

Step 1: Set up your account

The host onboarding process starts with account verification. This is the first step in the dashboard and helps confirm that the account is ready for the rest of the setup process.

Once that is complete, you move into payment setup. The dashboard shows this as a separate step through Stripe Connect, where bank account details are entered so the account can be prepared for payments. This is a straightforward part of the process, and it sits before the property details are completed.

Step 2: Add your property details

After account verification and payment setup, the property details stage comes next. This is where the listing starts to take shape.

EzyFlats is designed for fully furnished properties, so the details you enter should reflect the actual home and what it offers. The more accurate and complete the listing is, the easier it is for the right renter to understand whether it suits them. That helps set expectations early and keeps the booking process more organised.

Step 3: Add your photos and tour

The final stage in the onboarding dashboard is photos and tour. This is where the property is presented visually and given the best chance of being understood clearly by renters.

Recent updates have made this part easier for hosts. You can now record virtual tours directly from your phone, which helps renters feel more confident before they book. Clear, genuine photos and a useful tour are especially important for furnished rentals, because they help the renter picture the stay before making a decision.

What happens after onboarding

Once the setup steps are complete, the listing can move forward through the approval and distribution process. Approved listings go live on EzyFlats and are then distributed to the platform’s external channels, including Domain.com.au, Flatmates.com.au, and selected Facebook groups based on the property’s city.

EzyFlats also gives hosts more ways to manage the process now. The new iOS app means listings, enquiries, bookings, messages, and earnings can be managed from an iPhone. For hosts already using Hostaway, the PMS integration allows listings to be imported directly into EzyFlats in beta, which reduces manual re-entry. Hosts who are moving from Airbnb to medium-term rentals can also send through their Airbnb link and a few basic details, and EzyFlats will build the listing for them.

Why this setup works

The purpose of EzyFlats is to make furnished rental hosting easier to manage while keeping the process structured. The platform is designed for landlords who want to save time, build trust, and rent with confidence.

That is why the onboarding flow is set up the way it is. Account verification, payment setup, property details, and photos all matter. They help create a listing that is clearer for renters and easier for hosts to manage once it goes live. The goal is not to make the process more complicated — it is to make it more organised from the start.

Who EzyFlats is for

EzyFlats is open to hosts across Australia, with current activity strongest in Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and the Gold Coast. The platform is especially useful for landlords who already have a furnished property and want a more structured way to reach medium-term renters.

It is also a practical option for hosts who want to move away from short-stay platforms and into a model that suits longer, more settled bookings. With rating carry-over, Hostaway integration, virtual tours, and one-click booking now part of the experience, the platform is designed to reduce friction at each stage.

Final view

Getting started with EzyFlats is meant to feel clear, not overwhelming. The onboarding process is broken into simple steps, the platform supports the main parts of the listing journey, and the newer tools give hosts more control over how their property is presented and managed.

For landlords with a fully furnished home that suits medium-term stays, EzyFlats offers a practical way to bring that property to market with structure from the start.
