Another issue that bothers me is that whenever I pay rent, I have to ask whether the landlords want cash or a bank transfer, which again takes up a lot of my free time. I think automatic payment would save both parties a lot of hassle.

• How we identified the problem?

When I had to move out of the student dormitory, I looked for an apartment to live in. The process was very difficult, because whenever I found an ad that seemed right for me, I would call, no one would answer, and then a few minutes later, miraculously, an agency would call me asking if I was looking for an apartment to rent. This happened with almost all the ads, until I finally found a real one. At that moment, other thoughts came to mind, such as, "What if these people are shady?" In the end, finding myself in a crisis situation (I had to find a place to rent that day), I went to see the apartment and accepted it. The search process also took a long time because no website that does not belong to an agency has a map where you can see properties in a specific area.

Based on this question, it became clear that most tenants perceive challenges in the rental search process, primarily because existing platforms do not verify the accuracy of listings and offer limited filtering options.

Most tenants prefer to have a clearly defined contract from the outset, registered with the tax authorities. They also view it as risky not to have any information about the owner of the property they are about to move into.

Additionally, many encounter misleading or bait-and-switch listings, posted anonymously by estate agencies pretending to be property owners. These listings are often unavailable or not genuine.

Among the most common issues after signing the contract, the following were identified:

• payment process
• contractual clauses

Regarding the responses received from property owners, although fewer in number, the following issues were identified:

• Finding tenants and scheduling property visits represents a time-consuming process
• Trust is determined in a fairly intuitive, rather than systematic, way

The listings page allows users to browse available posts, apply filters, or switch to map view. 

Once the user has spoken with the owner, they can schedule a visit to tour the property.
