Helping college students sublet for the fall, spring, and summer semesters.

About us

Sublettr simplifies the subletting process with convenience, safety, and privacy at its core. Helping students both listing and searching save hundreds of dollars. Sublettr was founded in June 2023 after a house fire in March 2023 forced Winston Hsiao and his housemates to scramble last minute for off-campus housing. During the sublet search process it became clear to him that the current sublet search/arrangement process had significant room for improvement.

𝘖𝘧𝘧-𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘶𝘴 𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘵 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘢, one of the biggest factors in pricing is the supply and demand of rooms. We want to give you the data so you and other college students can make more informed housing decisions. You will no longer be in the dark on the current off-campus housing market, you will be able to see how many people are searching vs listing a room for a given semester, and year at a specific college.

    As summer internship plans finalize, so too does the need for short-term housing solutions. Most college students who live off-campus don't plan on living near their college in the summer and need to sublet out their rooms – often at a discount to avoid paying rent on an empty room. On the flip side many students with internships flock to cities – NYC, Boston, San Francisco, etc, and typically need housing just for the summer but are met with crazy short term rental prices. There's a huge mismatch between the supply and demand side. Rooms still go empty, and hundreds even thousands of dollars that could be saved for both the lister and the searcher is lost. Sublettr currently has a large user base centered in and around Boston and New York, with some students in California/Texas. Reach more people, and make your subletting arrangements fast on Sublettr. Join hundreds of students listing and searching rooms and save hundreds of dollars this summer!

    There’s one simple trick to improving SEO performance and placing higher in search rankings. And that’s going to Google Search Console and making sure that your website is properly indexed and fast to load (Google Page Speed Insights). Analyze how certain changes to your website affect search position and go from there. Google has recently weighted website speed/performance higher in search ranking calculations so alongside focusing on new features/bug fixes make sure you are still building a fast and pleasant to use website for your end users.
