About ReRent
ReRent is an on-demand property management platform that’s reimagining hospitality through home-sharing. By leveraging our tech-enabled hospitality infrastructure, we make it possible for anyone to sublet effortlessly and profitably, meaning scores of underutilized homes can be monetized. We’ve begun by helping off-campus students avoid debt and recoup thousands in wasted rent by monetizing their apartments during the 40% of the year they’re away, a $56B opportunity.
