My friend actually mentioned how useful this would be! One of the difficulties they may face though, at least in a market like mine (Boulder, CO) may be indexing and working with the housing that is already organized by rental agencies. There's three large ones where I'm at and I cant imagine they would make it very easy, especially if Cribspot wants to take some of the responsibilities from the agencies, responsibility that the landlords pay the agencies to take care of. It will be interesting to see how crib spot deals with this aspect considering these agencies run so much housing around here

I am wondering how you are planning to handle the legality of subleasing and enforcement, especially seeing as almost all landlords for college towns do not allow subleasing, but it happens. Which also leads to an alarming amount of subleasers skipping the last month of rent or stealing from the property since they know they are living there in secret from the landlord and therefore their rent collection is unenforceable. As a college renter this is the biggest problem I would like to see fixed, given the 12 month lease for a 8 month school year and study abroad opportunities becoming commonplace.

A couple of questions that came to me after reading through this:<p>The interface looks great, so much better than Craigslist. What advantages do you provide for landlords that Craigslist&#x2F;Lovely do not have?<p>I&#x27;m guessing that college students are a much less attractive market. Youth means no&#x2F;less credit or rental history, students have lower income, and are more likely to damage property. As a landlord, why would I want to specifically target a less-desirable market? Or do you think that, in large college towns, they&#x27;ve already accepted those conditions?

I&#x27;d love to know how you have gone about getting the initial sublets on there. Was it scraping other sites like Zillow and Craigslist?<p>I just posted one of my apartments expecting to be the only one in the area (I&#x27;m the only host on Airbnb in my city limits), and there were already four other apartments there.

Congrats on the launch!<p>Has it been challenging to get landlords to agree to a common rental application?<p>What&#x27;s the plan to differentiate from companies like cozy.co in the application&#x2F;leases&#x2F;rent-payment space?
