Why Landlords Love It
Example: Seasonal homeowner with $5,000/month property
SubletLA
Best Deal

Pay $199/month, keep 100% of rent

= $60,000/year gross

Airbnb

Pay 15.5% commission = $930/month fee

= $48,840/year (-$11,160)

Sublet.com

Free basic listing, but cluttered UX = poor conversion

💡 The $199 monthly fee becomes laughable when you sign one tenant:
$5K × 3 months = $15,000 gross

Hypothetical Stories from LA

Example scenarios we're building to serve

“I was terrified of getting scammed on Facebook. SubletLA's team physically verified the Santa Monica apartment before I flew in from New York. Saved me $3,000 and weeks of stress.”

Sarah M.

Tech Worker, Relocated from NYC

“Lost our home in the Palisades fire. SubletLA waived fees and found us a 6-month rental in Pasadena within 48 hours. Insurance covered it. Cannot thank them enough.”
DR

David & Lisa R.

Landlord Opportunity
LA Has a Massive Mid-Term Rental Shortage
Right now, there are 4+ renters competing for every 1 available listing. Here's why:

Huge Demand

  • • 35,000-56,000 people need 30-180 day housing annually in LA
  • • 180,000 fire-displaced residents (2025-2026)
  • • 12,000+ students needing summer sublets
  • • 5,000-8,000 professionals relocating for work

Limited Supply

  • • Only 8,300-10,250 units available for mid-term rentals
  • • 55-65% of leases prohibit subletting (legally constrained)
  • • Most landlords refuse because of scam risk
  • • No trusted platform... until now

What This Means for You

  • ✓ Properties rent 3-5 days faster than Facebook/Craigslist (verified renters ready to move)
  • ✓ 20-40% higher rents than 12-month leases (high demand, flexible terms)
  • ✓ Lower vacancy risk (we have 4+ qualified applicants per listing)
  • ✓ Zero time wasted on scammers (every renter background-checked before contact)
