soft landing
Losing the use of your home due to a fire, flood, or storm is one of the most stressful events a family can endure. Suddenly, you are managing contractors, arguing with adjusters, and trying to keep your children’s lives normal—all while living out of a suitcase.
Carolina Furnished Rentals (CFR) specializes in Emergency Displacement Housing. We bridge the gap between the disaster and the move-back date. We provide move-in ready homes that allow you to cook dinner, do laundry, and let the dog out in the backyard, giving you the stability to focus on rebuilding.
Yes. We are experienced in working with Additional Living Expenses (ALE) policies.
Most homeowners’ insurance policies cover the cost of temporary housing that maintains your “standard of living.” A cramped hotel room rarely meets that standard for more than a few days. Our single-family homes provide the square footage and amenities adjusters approve for long-term displacement.
We offer itemized, adjuster-friendly billing.
We provide the detailed documentation required by carriers like State Farm, Allstate, and USAA to ensure you get reimbursed.
01
We allow flexible extensions.
Construction timelines are unpredictable. A “3-month repair” often turns into 5 months due to permit delays or supply chain issues.
The CFR Promise: We do not force you to sign a rigid 6-month lease. You can book an initial term and then extend week-by-week or month-by-month (subject to availability). We simply ask for communication so we can protect your dates from other bookings.
02
Yes. Our homes are “Instant Book” ready.
If you are standing in your driveway with the fire marshal and need a place to sleep tonight or tomorrow, we can facilitate rapid move-ins with digital lease signing and keyless entry codes.
Why choose a home over an extended-stay hotel?
Eating restaurant food for 4 months is unhealthy and expensive. Our homes feature full residential kitchens. You get a full-sized refrigerator, oven, dishwasher, and all the cookware needed to make your family’s favorite meals. This helps restore a sense of routine for your children.
Hotels often have weight limits (e.g., "Dogs under 40 lbs") or breed restrictions. We welcome large dogs. Most of our inventory (such as Mint Hill Dr in Cary or Morris Branch Ct) features fenced yards. Your Golden Retriever or Lab can run freely, which reduces their stress (and yours) during the transition.
You need to keep your kids in their current school district. We cover the map. Whether you need to be in the Apex Friendship district, near Leesville Road High in Raleigh, or close to Jordan High in Durham, we likely have a property within a short drive of your school bus route.
