Why Sublet Buddy

Subletting, without the scrolling.

Tell us your dates, your area, and your budget. We look for the person who fits and point you to the steps that matter. No endless listings to dig through.

Not another listings board

Most sublet sites hand you a feed and wish you luck. We start with what you need and do the looking for you.

Matched, not searched

Share your dates, area, and budget once. We compare them and introduce you to a person who fits.

Made for 30+ days

Not a vacation rental and not a 12-month lease. Just stays of a month or longer, for students and young professionals.

The next steps, spelled out

We point you to what to do next, including getting your landlord’s written approval, so the handoff goes smoothly.

Our mission

Make 30+ day sublets simple and trustworthy.

We help people who are leaving find people who are arriving, and we guide both sides through the steps that matter, including getting landlord approval, so short-term housing feels easy instead of risky.

Our vision

No one pays rent on an empty apartment.

We picture a student-built network where anyone who needs a place for a few months can find one with confidence, and anyone heading away can hand theirs off with peace of mind. It starts in New York City, and we hope to grow from there.

What we believe in

Three ideas guide everything we build.

Simple

Plain English, short forms, and a clear next step. No endless group-chat scrolling.

Trustworthy

We’re upfront about what we do and what we don’t. We always remind you to get your landlord’s written approval before you sublet.

Built with students

Founded in 2026 by NYU students. In early access, your feedback shapes what we build next.
