A note from our co-founder and CEO, Daniel Resner.
Finding a new place to live should be an exciting time, a chance to celebrate a fresh start. Too often, though, the actual process of finding and renting a place is a headache, especially if your needs don't fit the traditional mold of a year-long lease on an unfurnished apartment.
My wife and I learned that the hard way. We moved more than 30 times in 10 years, for school, for work, and for all the in-between moments life throws at you, and every single move reminded us how poorly the rental world serves people who need something flexible. Eventually we got tired enough of it to build the thing we wished had existed. That is how MatchBook started.
Here is what we set out to fix.
An easier way to search
Instead of digging through scattered, unverified listings across general classifieds and forums, MatchBook gives you one place to search real, vetted midterm and monthly rentals, with filters that actually match how people live: furnished or unfurnished, pet friendly, near a hospital or campus, and more.
An end to repeat application fees
Paying $50 or more to apply, then paying it again at the next property for the same background check, never made sense to us. MatchBook Renter Verification lets you pull one reusable screening report and attach it to as many applications as you like for a single $25 fee.
A lease process you can trust
We streamlined the lease process so hosts can upload their own leases right onto MatchBook and renters can review and e-sign directly on platform.
Everything in one place
From searching to matching to booking, and every monthly payment after that, the whole rental happens on one platform. No juggling email threads, payment apps, and paper leases.
That is the short version of why we built MatchBook and what we care about. If you are looking for a place right now, start your search here, and if you are a host, listing your property is completely free. Either way, welcome. We are glad you are here.
