Suggestion: some (most) apartments require users to give references. How about allowing users to verify themselves on the site so they don't have to provide references for properties they want to rent. Could include some warranty service for people posting apartments that make use of this arrangement. (tl;dr: make it more like airbnb).
- dazbradbury 14y agoThanks! Our aim is most certainly to save tenants and landlords vast sums of money, as well as improve the rental market itself. We've already helped tenants and landlords save tens of thousands of pounds, but we're definitely not stopping there. If the result is letting agents being eradicated, then I don't think many people will be too upset! Regarding references - this is something we would definitely work towards. Ideally we could verify enough information digitally that landlords don't ask for the further references, but right now we don't have the capital to offer the warranty. For now, we just make references much cheaper (£20), rather than paying an agency hundreds of pounds.
