Family-owned and serving Houston properties since 1998.

Why rent instead of buy?
It is not even close. Price out one bedroom off the big-box clearance floor. A bargain queen mattress runs $800 to $1,000. Add a frame, sheets and pillows, a dresser and nightstands, lamps, and a little art, and you are already near $2,700. For one room! By the time you have furnished the entire apartment, you are well more than $7,000. Renting the same furniture typically runs about a third of the cost.
And the price tag is only half of it. Buying also means the U-Haul, the delivery windows you wait around for, the weekend lost to assembly, and the headache of selling it all when you leave. Renting skips every bit of that. Because the furniture is ours, we own it, we deliver it, we set it up, you get the full corporate housing experience for about half the price. Same comfort. None of the markup.

The Habitas Clean Promise
Every piece is professionally cleaned and sanitized or refurbished before it reaches your door, so it shows up looking, feeling and smelling like new. Here is the part nobody thinks about. A hotel changes the sheets, not the mattress. We sanitize the whole thing between rentals. So our furniture is honestly cleaner than the last hotel room you happily stayed in. Our linens are no afterthought: professionally laundered and crisply pressed, hospitality-grade white sheets in 300tc and plush 14.5 ounce towels, the same standard you’ll find in a fine hotel, fresh for every home. Prefer something brand new? Ask about our new-mattress and all-new package options.
No contractors. Just our own people.
Here’s something the national chains and most of our competition won’t put in their brochure: most of them outsource housewares and installation. The housewares come from a third party, so they cannot tell you what is arriving in your kitchen or when it will arrive. Some delivery and setup get handed off to untrained, unvetted contractors they cannot control. At Habitas, there is no middleman in your living room. Our own trained, uniformed employees clean it, deliver it, and set it up, every time. We know exactly what goes into your home and who, because we are the ones doing it all.
Houston’s furniture rental company since 1998
We are not a huge national 1-800 chain. We are a family owned Houston small business that has furnished this city for more than 25 years, and a real person answers the phone. Big enough to deliver across the Houston area in 48 hours. Local enough to know your name. We have weathered recessions, storms, and a pandemic, and we are still here, still family-owned, still showing up, still setting the standard for service.
Buy local. When you rent from Habitas, you are backing a Houston family and the local crew that shows up at your door, not a national 1-800 number. Your money stays in Houston, and so does the person who answers when you call.
Where we deliver
Habitas is built for local. Houston and everything within about 50 miles is our home turf, including Sugar Land, Katy, The Woodlands, Pearland, Cypress, Spring, and Conroe. From there we regularly deliver up to about 150 miles out, reaching Austin, Corpus Christi, Beaumont, and Lake Charles. And when the job calls for it, we go a whole lot farther. We have made deliveries as far as McAllen, Abilene, Longview, and Shreveport, and most points in between. Our trucks know the Texas highways by heart, and a good road trip has never scared us off.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you deliver furniture in Houston?
Within 48 hours. We deliver and fully set up a complete home, furniture, home essentials, and a TV, all arranged and move-in ready.
Is renting furniture really cheaper than buying?
Yes, usually by a lot. Furniture for a bedroom costs around $2,700 to buy, and furnishing an entire one-bedroom apartment can exceed $7,000. Renting that same one-bedroom, fully furnished, typically runs less than a third of the cost, with no U-Haul, no assembly, and nothing to resell when you leave.
Is the furniture clean? Is it new?
Honestly, it is a mix, and that mix is part of why it costs so little. Most pieces have been rented before, then professionally cleaned, refurbished, and sanitized so they arrive looking, feeling, and smelling like new. But on any given delivery, some pieces may actually be brand new, a mattress, a sofa, a dresser, depending on what we have most recently restocked. Either way, every piece is inspected and sanitized before it reaches your door, cleaner than a hotel room that only gets fresh sheets. Want everything brand new? Just ask. We offer all-new packages and a fresh mattress straight from the box.
Do I have to sign a long-term contract?
No. We rent for as little as 30 days, with no long-term contract. Keep it as long as you need.
What is included?
A complete, move-in ready home: living room, bedroom, and dining furniture, plus our Home Essentials package (full kitchen, linens, towels) and a TV.
What areas do you serve?
Greater Houston, including Sugar Land, Katy, The Woodlands, Pearland, Cypress, Spring, and Conroe. We also serve Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Corpus Christi, and Beaumont for corporate and relocation needs.
Is 48-hour delivery guaranteed?
Forty-eight hours is the promise, and you will know exactly where you stand the moment your order is confirmed. Place an in-stock order by our noon cutoff and the clock starts that day. When we confirm, your delivery date is set in writing, and if the full 48-hour window is not available, we will give you the next best date, which is often the very next day anyway. Orders placed after noon start the clock the next business day, so no booking at midnight and expecting a sunrise delivery. Want a firm 48-hour window guaranteed? That is available for a small expedited fee. And we always shoot straight with you: during peak season or when our crews are committed to a previously scheduled project, your date might stretch a little, but you will know up front, not after.
48-hour delivery and setup is based on product and resource availability and applies to in-stock orders placed by noon. A guaranteed 48-hour window may include an expedited fee. Timing can vary during peak season or when our crews are committed to a previously scheduled project.
