For landlords

Rent to visiting researchers and scholars

Reach a focused, trustworthy audience of guest researchers, fellows, and scholars arriving near DC-area research campuses.

Welcome — with a few ground rules

Landlords, homeowners, and property managers are welcome to list rooms, apartments, and houses for the research community. To keep the community trustworthy, landlord and commercial listings are reviewed by an admin before they go public.

Review policy
Commercial and landlord posts are reviewed before they appear publicly. Your listing will be accepted and held for review — a moderator checks it for safety and Fair Housing before it goes live.

Fair Housing compliance is required

Housing listings may not discriminate based on protected characteristics. Do not include language that expresses a preference, limitation, or discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, national origin, or other protected categories under applicable law. GuestResearcher.com may reject or remove listings for discriminatory or unsafe content.

What works well here

  • Flexible terms — many visitors need 3–12 month stays.
  • Furnished or partly furnished units near a Metro stop or research campus.
  • Clear, honest photos and an in-person or video tour option.
  • Reasonable documentation for renters without U.S. credit history.

How to list

Sign in, choose Housing, and select “I am a landlord/homeowner” or “property manager/realtor.” Add details and photos, acknowledge the Fair Housing notice, and submit for review.
