What does it do?

Flatbook pays your rent to start the summer off right with up to 100% of rent and utilities paid for. You don’t have to worry about anything being left behind: Flatbook stores your things in a secure facility, free of charge.

Why do we need it?

Knowing you have to pay rent while you’re away is the worst way to start a summer.

If you plan on leaving your place for the summer and don’t want to get stuck paying your rent or having to deal with subletters, Flatbook is here to help.

Who is it for?

Thousands of foreign students typically return home during the two summer months between school semesters. Flatbook takes the pain out of subletting students’ apartments and liberates them from paying rent while funding their summer dreams.

What makes it stand out from the crowd?

Flatbook handles the entire subletting process and creates a branded experience akin to the world’s top hospitality brands while highlighting the geocultural elements that make AirBnB and HomeAway properties so attractive to summer tourists

What’s next?

In 2012, we set out to solve the subletting problem one lease at a time, and last year alone we saved leaseholders over $500,000 in rent. In the face of a growth rate exceeding 800% in 2014, Flatbook is poised to double-down again this year
