Sublease to save money when you are not staying in your lease for a long period of time. You can: Move into your dream place before your lease ends without paying double rent, fund a trip with the savings, or move in with a partner without paying for an empty apartment.

If you have a U.S. Social Security Number (SSN), your payouts will be sent directly to your bank account — with no additional fees. We partner with [url=https://stripe.com/][u]Stripe[/u][/url] to securely process and store your payout information. Ohana will automatically charge the guest’s payment method (typically a credit card or bank account) according to the rent schedule outlined in your lease or sublease agreement.

Your guest will pay rent to you directly using a payment method you both agree upon. For U.S. bookings, Ohana recommends using Zelle, Venmo, PayPal, or bank transfer. For listings outside the U.S. (for example, in London, UK), Ohana recommends bank transfer, PayPal, or Wise for secure international payments. Ohana will hold the security deposit for the duration of the lease, and the guest will pay the first month’s rent directly to you upon a successful move-in.

Yes. If you are a Ohana Host and enter into a lease or sublease agreement, you warrant and represent that no other person’s consent is required for you to enter into the lease or sublease or that you have obtained any required consent.

Ohana offers an off-platform agreement option for lease takeovers. All aspects of the arrangement—such as rent, lease term, and security deposit—are managed directly between you and your guest. Ohana’s role is limited to facilitating the connection and sharing contact information between both parties. The guest will pay a $100 service fee.

Minimum or maximum lease durations may apply depending on the location of your property. For example, stays in New York City must be at least 30 days. We recommend consulting a legal professional to understand the specific rules and regulations that apply in your area.
