Why this exists

Many rental sites show listings or generic guides. This tool focuses on the moment before applying: whether your profile is likely to hit screening friction and what to prepare next.

Data we collect

We collect structured self-check inputs, risk factors, city demand, and optional contact requests. The goal is to learn which problems are real before adding service-provider matching.

What comes next

Detailed paid reports, multilingual templates, move-out cost checks, city pages, and eventually verified partner services once the demand data is strong enough.
