I’m a CS student who recently got kicked out of my apartment due to sudden rent increases and a shady landlord. What followed was a nightmare spending thousands on emergency Airbnb stays, endless scams on rental listings, and total uncertainty about where I’d be living next.
That experience became the catalyst for building Proofly, a platform designed to make the renting process easier, safer, and more transparent for both tenants and landlords.
What we're building:
1. Verified rentals
Listings are independently evaluated before viewings, so what you see is what you get.
2. Third-party property checks
Prospective renters pay a small viewing fee to receive trusted evaluations including real photos, condition notes, and red flags.
3. Better leads for landlords
We help landlords connect with serious, pre-qualified renters while building trust through transparency.
We just launched the waitlist and are actively looking for:
• Renters who want a smarter, safer way to explore housing
• Evaluators who can earn by doing quick local property visits
• Landlords and property managers interested in better listings and faster leases
