What are we solving…?

Women are struggling to find off-campus housing options, schedule tours, and understand lease clauses.

The Problem

Finding off-campus housing is one of the most stressful — and riskiest — parts of university life. Students are often pressured to sign legally binding leases far in advance, sometimes years ahead, without fully understanding the long-term implications of their decisions.

the problem students are facing:

  • Limited time and guidance: Busy academic and personal schedules leave little time to research housing options or navigate the process with confidence.

  • Lack of market knowledge: Many students are unfamiliar with the local rental market, making it hard to find safe, affordable, and fair options.

  • Safety risks: Students often communicate with complete strangers and tour unfamiliar houses with people and in neighborhoods they don’t know.

  • Unfamiliar legal language: Leases are written with landlord-friendly terms and complex clauses that students rarely understand — yet these agreements can have lasting financial and legal consequences.

RentMate was created to solve these problems by empowering students with trusted guidance, clear information, and a safer, smarter path to finding off-campus housing.
