If you’re sending employees to the Midland or Permian Basin region for weeks or months at a time, housing can become a major expense. But with the right approach, you can cut costs without cutting comfort.
Here are smart, proven ways to make your long-term housing dollars go further.
1. Choose Fully Furnished Rentals with Inclusive Pricing
Furnished rentals eliminate:
- Furniture leasing costs
- Moving truck rentals
- Utility deposits and monthly bills
When everything is bundled into one predictable rate, it’s easier to control costs and avoid budget surprises.
2. Look for Extended Stay Discounts
Most furnished housing providers (including us!) offer discounted monthly rates for longer bookings.
📉 Example: Booking 3+ months can save 15–25% over daily or weekly rates.
3. Go Energy-Efficient
Ask about:
- LED lighting
- Smart thermostats
- Energy-efficient appliances
Small upgrades = lower utility usage and happier tenants.
4. Schedule Preventative Maintenance
Avoid surprise repairs by:
- Booking properties with regular inspections
- Using a single point of contact for issues
- Ensuring HVAC and plumbing systems are up to date
At Diamond furnished rentals we keep properties in top condition so you don’t deal with unexpected breakdowns mid-stay.
5. Reduce Turnover Costs
Every time someone moves in or out, there are cleaning, reset, and coordination costs.
The fix?
🏠 Assign housing for the full project length instead of rotating new employees every few weeks.
📅 Consider flexible lease terms that don’t penalize small extensions.
6. Consolidate Services
Many employers pay separately for:
- Internet
- Cleaning services
- Lawn care
- Furnishings
- Utilities
Instead, bundle with one provider — and let us manage it all for you.
Smart housing strategies = serious savings.
At Diamond Furnished Rentals, we help companies stretch their budgets and support their people — whether you’re housing one engineer or an entire team.
