Furnished rental management
TilsittProperty owners · Lyon
Do you own an apartment in Lyon and want to entrust its furnished rental to a professional who takes care of its day-to-day management?
Since 2008, 2BEAPART has supported property owners with the management of short- and medium-term furnished rentals in Lyon.
Our work goes beyond publishing a listing and handing over keys. We oversee the rental strategy, marketing, pricing, communication with occupants and the daily operation of the property.
Cleaning, laundry and operational support are organised locally by our teams. The agency oversees maintenance, while owners retain a clear view of their property’s activity.
An agency specialising in furnished rental management in Lyon
Entrusting a furnished apartment to a manager involves coordinating several factors: regulations, property positioning, length of stay, pricing, marketing, selection of occupants and property care.
2BEAPART is a Lyon-based real estate agency specialising in short- and medium-term furnished rentals.
We assess each apartment individually. Its location, layout, equipment, regulatory context and the owner’s objectives determine the rental strategy we put in place.
We therefore do not apply the same model to every property.
A real estate agency, beyond concierge services
2BEAPART operates within the regulated framework of property management and holds a French professional property management licence.
This distinction matters.
A concierge service generally handles specific practical aspects of a stay. A real estate agency holding a property management licence can cover a broader scope: rental management, collecting rent and funds on behalf of owners, administrative support and organising the operation of the property.
With 2BEAPART, this regulated role is combined with an integrated operational structure.
Owners therefore have a single point of contact to oversee their property.
Truly integrated rental management
Good property management depends on more than the visibility of a listing.
It also relies on coordinating the daily operations that keep a property attractive, functional and well maintained.
With 2BEAPART, we organise directly or oversee all of these functions:
Marketing and distribution
Creating and updating listings, distributing them through suitable channels and managing availability.
Pricing
Analysing demand, seasonality, length of stay and the positioning of each apartment.
Communication with occupants
Organising stays, providing essential information and offering support throughout the occupancy.
Cleaning
Our own teams prepare the properties to maintain consistent standards.
Laundry
Linen is processed in our in-house laundry.
Maintenance
The agency follows up on incidents and routine repairs. Owners are informed when an intervention requires their approval or a specific budget.
Owner support
Owners have access to a portal where they can follow their property’s activity and remain in contact with the agency for important decisions.
Short or medium term: the strategy depends on the property
Furnished rentals in Lyon are not limited to nightly tourist accommodation.
A significant share of demand also comes from temporary stays lasting several weeks or months: work assignments, relocation, training, a change of home, renovation work in a main residence or a temporary move to Lyon.
Depending on the property and its circumstances, a medium-term rental strategy may therefore be more appropriate than an exclusively nightly model.
Other properties are better suited to short stays.
Our role is to choose between these uses by considering:
the property’s location, layout, applicable regulations, demand and the owner’s objectives.
The strategy can also evolve over time.
Marketing at the right price, through the right channels
The rental price of a furnished apartment is not fixed.
It varies with the season, events in Lyon, length of stay, booking lead time, market availability and the property’s own characteristics.
2BEAPART uses professional revenue management tools to monitor these changes and adjust prices.
But a tool does not replace analysis.
We compare pricing recommendations with the property’s actual performance and our knowledge of the Lyon market.
Listings are then distributed through channels that suit the intended stays and the strategy chosen for the property.
The aim is not simply to achieve the highest price on a particular date, but to build a consistent rental operation over time.
Managing an apartment also means protecting your property
A furnished apartment is a real estate asset before it is a rental product.
The way it is operated must therefore support its preservation.
Our teams regularly monitor the condition of the properties.
Incidents are identified, routine repairs are organised and more substantial work is referred to owners when their approval is required.
Our local presence also helps us identify damage or faults before they become more serious.
Our aim is to maintain a property that remains consistent with its positioning and the quality occupants expect.
Delegate the management while keeping sight of your property
Entrusting your apartment to a manager does not mean losing track of what happens there.
Owners retain access to information about their property’s activity.
They also remain in contact with the agency for decisions that require their involvement: works, significant choices, changes in positioning or adjustments to the rental strategy.
The aim is simple:
you remain the owner of your property; we take care of its daily operation.
Is your apartment a good fit for the 2BEAPART model?
We do not seek to take on every property.
Our model relies on a coherent portfolio of apartments that we can manage under suitable conditions.
In particular, we consider:
the property’s location, layout, equipment and finishes, regulatory context, rental potential and the owner’s objectives.
This selection matters.
It helps us avoid promising an unsuitable strategy and build a lasting relationship with the owner.
A rental strategy must also comply with Lyon’s regulatory framework
The rules that apply to furnished rentals depend in particular on the type of property, its use, the length of stays and the owner’s circumstances.
In Lyon, these rules have changed significantly in recent years.
Before defining a rental strategy, we therefore check that the proposed operation is compatible with the property’s circumstances.
This assessment may lead us to favour one option over another, particularly when choosing between tourist accommodation and medium-term furnished rentals.

Thinking of entrusting your apartment to 2BEAPART?
