Problem
Landlords renting out residential properties face significant risks, including missed rent payments, property damage, and legal disputes. Traditional rental processes are also burdened with paperwork, time-consuming tenant screening, and agency fees, making the experience inefficient and financially risky.
Solution
Freedhome provides a fully digital platform that manages the entire rental process, from listing to rent collection. Landlords can automatically list their property on 30+ portals, receive only pre-certified tenant requests, and handle contracts, registration, and handover reports online. The platform includes Tutela Proprietario, a protection package covering missed payments up to €15,000 and property damage up to €5,000, with legal support for disputes. Rent is collected automatically via a qualified payment provider, and the certified tenant covers the cost of the protection, making the service free for landlords with their first certified request within 30 days.
Target Audience
Primary customers are Italian residential landlords who want to rent out properties without agency fees or administrative burden, as well as tenants seeking a faster, deposit-free rental process with a certified profile that increases their chances of being selected.
