Problem
Finding rental properties that allow non‑family roommates is difficult because only about 3 % of listings permit such room‑share arrangements, and many existing portals either omit these units or list them without confirming that multiple unrelated tenants are allowed, leading to potential lease violations and disputes.
Solution
Sharekari operates a chat‑based matchmaking service that connects prospective roommates with a curated database of verified room‑share‑eligible rentals. The platform aggregates listings from real‑estate agents and property owners, filters them to include only units where multiple unrelated tenants are permitted, and presents suitable options via a dedicated concierge. Users receive personalized support on lease terms, optimal layouts, initial costs, and living‑arrangement advice through chat, and can schedule viewings and complete the rental process entirely online. The service also offers a rent‑guarantee product that protects landlords against non‑payment and expands tenant eligibility by assessing the credit of all co‑tenants.
Target Audience
Primary customers are groups of friends, colleagues, or other non‑family individuals seeking to rent a shared apartment or house, as well as landlords and property managers looking to safely rent to multiple unrelated tenants.
