Hey there, I'm Seth, the founder of roy. Like many people, I find renting to be an absolute nightmare. When I rented my first home, I was barely out of school and I had no idea what I was doing. Long story short, I ended up in a year long lease with a landlord that literally lived in a camper in the backyard. They refused to complete maintenance until the last minute, only took rent by check, and were a nuisance to the property. I desperately wanted a way to review and vet landlords BEFORE signing a lease, and there was none. I built roy to fix this issue. roy gives tenants a voice, finally, in a space where they have never had one. Tenants can leave verified reviews (either public or anonymous) of their landlord, that informs new renters before a lease is signed. Think of this like Yelp for landlords. roy has everything a tenant needs for success. A zero fee rent transfer feature, landlord reviews, lease signing and storage in the app, and a unique maintenance scheduler that lets you see what stage of the process your landlord is in. It's a breath of fresh air in a stale and lopsided industry. On the flip side, roy enables small landlords and property managers to be more successful with powerful tools and features that make your life easier. The landlord side of roy is equipped with instant rent collection, direct messaging with tenants, a public property listing marketplace, and our Smart Maintenance System, which automatically pairs you with a local vendor (handyman, plumber, electrician, etc.) based on the requested work. roy saves you time (and money) so that you can have piece of mind when managing your property. roy is truly designed to be a more fair and transparent solution to a broken, frustrating, and frankly, awkward rental relationship. Join our launch and the Rental Revolution.
