Safety is the number one priority for us. Every member is fairly vetted and goes through extensive criminal and background checks, as well as a 3-step approval process that includes in-person interviews with our team. A set of strict, yet reasonable rules is enforced in all of our homes. Our members tend to be a mix of creative, hard-working professionals and students. Most members are moving within the same city, though we have many tenants from around the US and world.
