Find a Place

Sublet Buddy Makes Subletting Simple

We Make It Easy for You

Sublet Buddy matches people who need a place for 30 days or longer with people who have one to spare. Pick your side. It’s four steps either way.

Find a place for a month, a semester or a summer, and lock it in from your phone.

  1. Search in Your Own Words

    Type what you want, like “furnished room near midtown this summer.” Dates, area and budget show up on a map.

  2. Ask to Connect

    Send one request. When the lister says yes, a private chat opens. Usernames only, so your number and email stay yours.

  3. Agree on Dates and Price

    Pick your exact move-in and move-out days and propose a monthly price right in the chat. Accept, counter or keep talking.

  4. Secure It and Move In

    Secure your dates for $5, credited to your first month. Rent is then charged to your card automatically on a set schedule. Nobody to chase, nothing to transfer.

We Handle the Hard Parts

  • A private chat, no phone numbers shared
  • Automatic rent payments
  • Your payment schedule, shown up front

Always get your landlord’s written approval before you sublet.

    Always get your landlord’s written approval before you sublet.

    Safety

    How Sublet Buddy Keeps You Safe

    1. Know Who You’re Renting From

      Listers show their first name and photo. A tan check means we verified their school email, or their ID through Stripe.

    2. Chat Without Giving Out Your Number

      Ask questions, plan a viewing and agree on a deal right in Sublet Buddy, using just your username. Your phone, email and payment apps stay private until a deal is secured.

    3. Your Money Waits for Move-in

      A $5 payment secures your dates and counts toward your first rent. Rent is charged from move-in day, and the lister is paid only after you’ve moved in. No security deposits.

    4. Pushy Off-App Requests Are a Red Flag

      Asking you to text, Venmo or Zelle is how most rental scams start, and it takes away every protection here. So it gets one warning, then a lifetime ban. Report anything in one tap.
