Landlord approval comes first
Before you publish, you confirm you have your landlord’s written approval and upload your master lease. We don’t contact your landlord or check the approval, so get it in writing first.
A real agreement, e-signed
You and your subtenant e-sign one sublease agreement through DocuSign, with a full audit trail. The signed PDF stays on your agreement page.
Simple pricing
You pay $50 per opening once, when you publish. Each open room is one opening. Any agreement fee is shown before you list and before you sign, and comes out of your payout along with card processing at cost.

You and your landlord

You stay on the lease.

A sublease doesn’t replace your master lease. Here’s what stays with you, and what your landlord needs to approve before you list.

You
Still the tenant on your master lease.
Subtenant pays you. You pay your landlord.
  • Your name stays on the master lease, so you’re still responsible to your landlord.
  • You're the rent middleman: collect from your subtenant each month, pay your lease as usual.
  • Best when you plan to come back, or need to cover a term away.
Your landlord
Approves the sublease before you list.
Get their approval in writing.
  • Most leases need your landlord’s written approval before you sublease. Check yours first.
  • To publish, you upload your master lease and confirm you have that approval.
  • Students who message you about the listing can open your master lease to read its terms.
Student Spots doesn't contact your landlord.
Getting their approval is up to you, and we don't check it. Keep a copy of it in writing. If your lease forbids subleasing, talk to your landlord before you list.

Compared to the Facebook group

The chaos costs more than you think.

The student-housing Facebook group is free. Until your subtenant ghosts, your landlord finds out from a neighbor, or your deposit walks.

Transparent pricing

Every fee, shown up front.

$50 per opening, once, when you publish. Any agreement fee due when your sublease signs is shown before you list. Card processing (2.9% + $0.30) applies only if first month's rent is paid through the app.

Listing fee
$50
Per opening, one-time, at publish
Each open room you list is one opening, and every listing pays for at least one. Three open rooms: $150. Drafts are free until you publish.
Agreement fee
Shown upfront
Per room, when each agreement signs
Any agreement fee is shown before you list and again before you sign, and comes out of your payout. If first month's rent is paid through the app, standard card processing (2.9% + $0.30) is deducted from the payout too.

Frequently asked

The questions every student asks first.

Most leases allow subleasing with written consent, so check your master lease and ask your landlord first. Student Spots doesn’t contact your landlord or check the approval for you. Before you can publish, you upload your master lease and confirm you already have their approval in writing. If your lease forbids subleasing, talk to your landlord before you list.
Every Student Spots sublease has a 32-day minimum. Anything shorter falls under short-term-rental rules in most Massachusetts cities, so we don’t list it.
Your master lease, as a PDF. You also need a .edu-verified account: a school email, plus a student ID or enrollment letter that our team reviews. You verify once, not for each listing.
You pay a one-time listing fee of $50 per opening when you publish (each open room is one opening). Any agreement fee due when it signs is shown before you list and again before you sign, and comes out of your payout. If first month's rent is paid through the app, standard card processing (2.9% + $0.30) is deducted too. After that, your subtenant pays rent directly to whoever your master lease names. Student Spots doesn't process ongoing rent.
Re-list from your dashboard. Your listing details are saved, so you don’t start over. If a subtenant breaks the agreement, the signed sublease and its audit trail give you what you need to escalate.
No. Student Spots doesn’t hold security deposits. Massachusetts has strict rules for handling deposits, so we stay out of the middle. Whatever your master lease says about deposits still applies.

Hand off your spot. Keep your weekend.

List your place, take offers from .edu-verified students, and e-sign the sublease in the app.
