Going away for a few weeks or months? Let a verified subber look after your place and cover your rent. Need somewhere for a while? Find a furnished room without a 12-month lease.
Free to list. Verified people. Money held safely until move-in.
Old word. Comes with fine print, Facebook groups, sketchy bank transfers and a lot of crossed fingers. We're retiring it.
Two sides, one simple app. Everyone's verified, everything's paid through Subby, and nobody has to wire a deposit to a stranger.
Add your dates, a few photos and your weekly price. We'll suggest one from places nearby.
Send our ready-made consent request and upload the reply. Your listing gets a "consent confirmed" badge.
Chat with verified subbers, check their reviews and choose who you trust with your keys.
Rent lands in your account 48 hours after they move in. Enjoy the trip.
Pick a suburb, your dates and budget. Every place is furnished and ready to live in.
A quick ID and selfie check, so hosts know you're you.
Pay through Subby. We hold the money until you've moved in and it's all as promised.
Sign the digital agreement, grab the keys and make yourself at home.
Facebook groups and classifieds are where rental scams live. Subby is built so they can't.
Every host and subber passes an ID and selfie check before they can message anyone. No anonymous accounts.
Payments only happen in the app. We hold the money and release it 48 hours after move-in, so nobody pays to "see a place" that doesn't exist.
Subletting usually needs your landlord's written OK. Our consent templates make asking easy, and the agreement covers both of you.
They don't build their own homes. They find a great shell, live in it for a while, then pass it on to the next crab. Scientists even have a name for the queue: a vacancy chain.
We just made it an app, added ID checks and stopped anyone getting pinched.
Six weeks in Europe without paying rent on an empty room.
A real home with a desk and wifi, for as long as you like the city.
Somewhere to land for a semester, an exchange or the gap before a lease.
A furnished place for your first months in a new city.
Usually yes, with your landlord's written consent. In Victoria, a landlord can't unreasonably refuse. Rules differ by state and country, so Subby walks you through the consent request for where you live. This isn't legal advice; check your own lease.
Listing is free. We take a small service fee only when a booking happens, and it's always shown upfront before anyone pays.
Every subber is ID-verified and reviewed by past hosts. You chat before you accept, you choose who stays, and a check-in checklist records the condition of your place.
Hosts are verified too, and your money is held by Subby until 48 hours after you've moved in. If it's not as described, you're covered.
