For students

From browsing to keys in four steps.

Verify with your .edu, browse the listings, video call the lister if you want to talk first, send an offer with your price and dates, then e-sign and move in. It all happens in one place.

The journey

What happens, step by step.

STEP 01

Verify your student account

Sign up with your school email, then upload your student ID or enrollment letter. Our team reviews what you upload, and .edu verification is what unlocks sending an offer on a listing.

  • Verified .edu school email
  • Student ID or enrollment letter, reviewed by our team
  • One profile you reuse on every listing
STEP 02

Browse the listings

Listings come from landlords, from Student Spots agents, and from current tenants subleasing under their master lease. Before a sublease can publish, the lister uploads their master lease and confirms in writing that their landlord approved it.

  • Map and list views
  • Filter by campus, term, rent, and beds
  • Save listings, and save a search to pick up where you left off
STEP 03

Send an offer

No forms to re-fill. Want to talk first? Start a video call from the conversation, or ask for a live video tour from the listing page. Then name your price and your dates, add a note, and send. The lister accepts, counters, or declines, and you can track every offer you send in one place.

  • Price and dates in one step
  • Accept, counter, or decline in the thread
  • Video call or live video tour in the thread
STEP 04

E-sign and move in

Both parties sign the sublease through DocuSign, with a full audit trail. Once it is fully signed you pay first month’s rent through Stripe to activate, and the signed PDF stays on the agreement page.

  • E-signed through DocuSign
  • First month routed through Stripe
  • Signed PDF and terms on one page

Side by side

The scattered way, and the one-place way.

Piecing it together yourself
Five tabs, no paper trail
  • Listings scattered across Craigslist, Instagram, and group chats
  • No way to tell who actually holds the lease
  • Re-type the same details for every place you ask about
  • Handshake sublets with nothing signed
On Student Spots
One place, browse to signed
  • Subleases and full-year listings on one map
  • Master lease on file before a sublease can publish
  • Send an offer with your price and your dates
  • DocuSign agreement, first month through Stripe
Safety by design

Master lease on file for subleases
Encrypted at rest and in transit

Your move-in day is closer than you think.

Verify with your .edu, then send your first offer with your price and your dates.
