The NYC & SF Rental Market Is Brutal

And traditional applications aren't cutting it anymore.

3 hrs

How fast good listings disappear in competitive markets

47

Average applications per desirable apartment in NYC

92%

Of renters lose to more prepared applicants

Renters lose apartments not because they're unqualified, but because their application doesn't stand out fast enough.

You're qualified. You're ready to pay. But you keep losing out because other applicants move faster. It's time to change that.

Your Rental Resume. Ready Before They Ask.

One verified profile. Share it instantly with any landlord or agent. No more scrambling.

Your renter résumé becomes a competitive advantage.

Early Renters Love It

Here's what our pilot users are saying

James C.

Product Designer, Manhattan

Verified Founding Renter (NYC)
"After losing 5 apartments to other applicants, I was ready to give up. Rentizens changed everything. I shared my verified profile with the landlord before the tour and got approved the same day. Finally."

Anika K.

Software Engineer, SOMA

Verified Founding Renter (SF)
"As someone who relocates for work, having a portable rental resume is a game-changer. The landlord in SF trusted my NYC references immediately. Signed the lease in 48 hours."

Marcus T.

Data Scientist, Brooklyn

Verified Founding Renter (NYC)
"The agent actually called me to say my application was the most professional she'd ever seen. I didn't do anything special, Rentizens just made me look like the obvious choice."
Only available to the first 25 renters
