Two reasons it just works.
Verified people
Real, badged users only, verified by .edu email, LinkedIn, or government ID. No bots, no throwaway accounts, no Venmo-a-stranger roulette.
Safe deals
Message in-platform with full history and one-tap reporting. No phone numbers shared until you're ready, and no middleman taking a cut.
Exactly what each badge means.
No vague “verified” claims. Here's precisely what we check, and what we don't.
Student (.edu)
We detect a .edu email address at signup. This confirms you're enrolled at a university, it does not verify your legal identity. Free, instant, no action needed.
Connect your LinkedIn profile. Ties your listing to a real professional identity, your name, employer, and work history. It does not verify your ID, but it makes ghosting much harder.
ID Verified
Full government ID check via Stripe Identity. Confirms your legal name and identity match your document. The strongest badge, visible on every listing and message thread.
Unverified listings are still allowed, we believe in access. But verified listings are ranked higher and convert faster. Renters can filter by verification level.

Our story →Is SubletSync free to use?
Browsing and messaging is free. Posting a listing is free. Featured listings ($9.99) give your listing more visibility in search results. The Verified badge is $3, it covers the cost of government ID verification via Stripe Identity.
What does “verified” actually mean?
Verification happens at two levels: .edu email (shows your student status as a label on your profile), and Stripe Identity (government ID, earns you the Verified badge). The badge is binary: you have it or you don't.
What's the difference between a sublease and a lease takeover?
Sublease:You keep your name on the lease and temporarily transfer occupancy for a fixed window. You're still legally responsible if the subletter doesn't pay. Best for summer internships or semesters abroad.
Lease takeover:You transfer the lease entirely to a new tenant, they take your name, liability, and terms. You're off the hook. Requires landlord approval.
Roommate replacement: One person on a shared lease leaves and needs to be replaced. Remaining roommates and landlord need to approve. Common mid-lease in 2–4 bedroom apartments.
Is subleasing legal?
Subleasing legality depends on your lease and local laws. SubletSync is a discovery platform, you're responsible for ensuring your sublease complies with your lease terms. We recommend checking with your landlord before listing.
How do payments work?
SubletSync is a discovery and communication platform, payment terms are arranged directly between you and the lister. We recommend using a written agreement and a traceable payment method. Never pay someone you haven't verified.
What cities are available?
We're launching in Austin, TX first, focused on UT Austin and the surrounding area. Additional cities open based on demand. List your place and share it to bring SubletSync to your city.
Can I message someone without signing up?
You need a free account to message listers, this keeps conversations verified and scam-free. Browsing listings is open to everyone without an account.
