About Roost

Roost is a sublet marketplace built just for college students.

Finding a summer sublet or someone to take over your lease usually means digging through chaotic Facebook groups full of unverified posts, scams, and listings that were filled weeks ago. We thought students deserved better — a place where every user is a verified student, listings are easy to browse and search by campus, and you can message hosts directly without handing over your phone number to strangers.

Roost is built by a couple of students who got tired of the Facebook-group shuffle. We’re starting with a handful of campuses and growing from there. Every account is tied to a verified .edu email, so you always know you’re dealing with a real student.

Have feedback or want Roost at your school? Get in touch— we’d love to hear from you.
