Every apartment, agent and roommate is checked by our team before it reaches you — and your rent sits in escrow until the keys are in your hand.
Three steps, and somebody with you at each one.
No cold listings, no agent you've never met, and no money leaving your hands before you've seen the place.

The people already living in them
I found this place from my parents' house in Enugu. My cousin did the inspection, the money stayed in escrow, and I got the keys the day I arrived.
As an agent, verification saved me the tyre-kickers. The students who reach me have already seen real photos and know the price is the price.
The roommate match actually worked. We were paired on schedule and budget, and we've split rent for two sessions now without a single argument.
