Business Idea: A free, user-friendly mobile app that connects tenants and landlords directly, removing broker fees and middlemen to make renting transparent, affordable, and straightforward.
Problem: The rental market in many cities is cluttered with broker fees, costly listing platforms, and a lack of transparency, making it challenging for tenants to find trustworthy listings or flatmates and for landlords to find reliable tenants.
Solution: An easy-to-use app allowing users to list properties or rooms for free, search with detailed filters, and communicate directly via chat or call—eliminating middlemen, fees, and hassle.
Target Audience: Prospective tenants seeking affordable, transparent rental options and flatmates, along with property owners and landlords looking for hassle-free tenant connection.
Monetization: The platform can generate revenue through premium features, verified profiles, advertising, or value-added services, while core usage remains free.
Unique Selling Proposition: No listing fees, subscriptions, or commissions—creating a direct, transparent, cost-free rental experience that prioritizes user trust and simplicity.
Launch Strategy: Start with a minimal viable product (MVP) focusing on core features—free listings, filters, and direct messaging—to gather user feedback, build trust, and grow organically through word-of-mouth and community engagement.
