Hands-Off Co-Living Leasing Solution For Property Owners
How It Works In A Nutshell
We lease your property directly under a long-term head-lease and operate it as part of our co-living network. We become the principal tenant, and all occupants contract with us under our co-living license model. You only ever deal with us – not individual occupants.
If required, we handle light improvements such as painting and minor works to prepare the property for co-living. We manage the day-to-day running of the home under our own model and take full responsibility for occupancy, furnishing, and operations.
We lease a wide range of properties including homes, boarding houses, former hotels, and commercial-use buildings suitable for shared living.
Your guaranteed lease payments commence as soon as the property is ready for occupation, which may be immediately upon signing the head-lease.
