How do I know which type of user am I?
These are they three types of users.
Person/Individual
      • The majority of students and guests are an individual/person.
      • In the majority of the cases, when a person becomes a HOST it's because they are property owners that have an empty room and want someone to live with them (we help them by bringing in some extra rent!).
      • They may also be students who have a lease and are looking for new flatmates.
      • These type of users are normally hosts that have separate occupations and do not rent out Beds/Rooms professionally. These could also be homestay providers.
Business / Company
      • These users are usually accommodation service providers. They can be specialised students accommodation building owners, university colleges, On-campus accommodation or companies that specialise in providing housing services. These could also be homestays or real estate agents. In the majority of the cases these users rent rooms professionally.
      • We also work with companies that are looking for housing providers for their interns or casual staff members. Please do not hesitate in contacting us. We are always happy to see how we can help you!
