Platform Summary

The Platform provides an introductory service for Landlords, Tenants and Tradesmen

Landlords and Tenants

  1. A Landlord wanting to list a property for rent (1) creates an account on the Platform and (2) posts an accurate and complete description of the property to be rented (including the rent to be paid by the Tenant) (Rental Listing).
  2. A Tenant wanting to rent a property (1) creates an account on the Platform, (2) reviews the Rental Listings uploaded by Landlords and (3) makes a request to rent the property (Rental Request) which is sent to the Landlord through the Platform.
  3. If a Landlord desires to rent out a property to a Tenant, the Landlord reviews the Tenants Listing and documents and communicates privately with the Tenant using our private messaging service. The Landlord may accept the Rental Request (which becomes a Tenancy). By accepting a Rental Request, the Landlord confirms that s/he is legally entitled to and capable of supplying the rental property described in the Rental Listing.
  4. A Landlord may also choose to use the Platform to self-manage existing Tenants by transferring the management of existing rental properties to the Platform.
  5. Once a Landlord has accepted a Rental Request, the Landlord and Tenant can communicate privately using our private messaging service.

Tradesmen

  1. A Tradesman wanting to list their services (1) creates an account on the Platform and (2) posts an accurate and complete description of the general property repair and maintenance services provided (including the fees to be paid) (Tradesman Listing).
  2. A Tenant or Landlord needing a repair or maintenance completed (1) reviews the Tradesman Listings uploaded by Tradesmen and (2) makes a request to contract with that Tradesman for services (Tradesman Request) which is sent to the Tradesman through the Platform.
  3. Landlords and Tenants may browse Tradesmen Pages for information about a Tradesman and services provided.

All users

  1. Each time a Platform user receives a message from the Platform messaging service, a notification may be sent to the user via their currently active communication channel.

You understand and agree that the Platform is an online introductory platform only, and that our responsibilities are limited to facilitating the user functionality and availability of the Platform.

  3. We are not a real estate agent or a party to any agreement entered into between a Landlord and a Tenant and/or between a Tradesman in any capacity. We have no control over the conduct of Landlords, Tenants, Tradesmen or any other users of the Platform. We provide a platform for users to self-manage their properties, rentals and repairs and maintenance and do not guarantee any suitability of properties listed on the Platform or suitability of Tenants or Tradesmen on the Platform.
  4. We accept no liability for any aspect of the Tenant, Landlord and Tradesman interaction, including but not limited to the description of Rental Listings, Tradesman Listings, Tradesman Pages, the condition of Rental Listings and the performance of services.
