Corporate Relocation Housing in Louisville: How Invoicing Works
Corporate Relocation Housing in Louisville: How Invoicing Works
Quick answer: HobKnob provides corporate relocation housing in Louisville, KY and Southern Indiana, with private furnished apartments starting at around $1,499 per month company-wide and pricing that can change with availability. One monthly payment covers rent, all utilities, and high-speed WiFi, and the company can typically be invoiced directly rather than the employee paying out of pocket. There is a 30-day minimum stay and the lease is month-to-month after that — extend or give notice anytime, no year-long lease.
A few weeks ago I got a call from an HR manager who had a new engineer starting in Louisville in eleven days. She wasn't worried about the job. She was worried about the housing.
Specifically, she was worried about the paperwork behind the housing — the hotel block she would have to justify to finance, the pile of receipts, and an employee living out of a suitcase for a month while he hunted for a place of his own.
That part never makes it onto the offer letter. Getting a person to a new city is the easy half. Getting the billing behind it to make sense is the other half. So here is exactly how we handle it on our end.
Why Employee Housing Gets Messy on the Back End
A hotel bills you in nightly folios. A standard lease asks for a year, a security deposit, and utility accounts opened in somebody's personal name. Neither one was built for a ninety-day assignment.
So the employee fronts costs and expenses them back, and your team spends the month reconciling a stack of line items that could have been a single number.
How Corporate Relocation Housing Invoicing Works
We keep it to one home, one monthly rate, one invoice. The company is set up as the billing party and the employee is listed as the resident, so the housing costs stay off their personal credit and off their expense report.
For most companies we can bill the business directly instead of the employee. There is a $75 application fee per adult resident, and the rest is the monthly rate. If your finance team needs a PO number, a W-9, or a particular invoice format, call us at (502) 625-6670 and we will work with the process you already have.

What the Monthly Invoice Covers
One line item on your side, and this is what sits behind it:
Rent on a fully furnished home — beds, sofas, dishes, linens, cookware and towels already in place
Electric, water, gas, trash and high-speed WiFi, all held in our name rather than your employee's
Bi-weekly cleaning of shared common areas in our co-living homes, with household essentials restocked
Local management here in Louisville, so maintenance requests come to our team instead of your HR desk
What is not on the invoice: furniture rental, utility setup fees, or a separate internet account. None of those exist on our side of the arrangement.
Matching the Housing to the Assignment
A director relocating with a spouse and an intern on a summer project need very different things, and the budget usually says so.
Private furnished apartments start at around $1,499 per month company-wide across Louisville, KY and Southern Indiana, and units at The Brownsboro in Crescent Hill start at around $1,749 per month. Pricing can change with availability.
If the budget is tighter, a private room in one of our co-living homes starts at around $699 per month at our Burnett home in Louisville, and around $799 per month in our Southern Indiana homes. Those homes are organized as Ladies Homes and Gentlemen Homes, and each resident gets a private furnished bedroom with shared kitchen and living space.
Our furnished apartments in Louisville are usually the pick for a relocating employee who wants full privacy and in-unit laundry.
Getting Set Up Before the Start Date
Because the homes are already furnished, the timeline is short. A company reaches out, we confirm what is open, the employee applies, and move-in typically follows shortly after approval — often in days rather than weeks, subject to availability.
There is a 30-day minimum stay, and the lease is month-to-month after that. If the project runs three months longer, you extend. If it wraps early, you give notice. Nothing sits on your books for a year.
If you would like to walk a home before the employee lands, you can schedule a tour with our team.
Corporate relocation housing should not be the hard part of a hire. If you have someone starting in Louisville or Southern Indiana in the next few weeks, call us at (502) 625-6670 or check availability at stayhobknob.com. We are locally owned and locally managed, so you are talking to the people who actually run the homes.
