From tenants for tenants

Hi folks, Hope you are doing well:)

We are immigrants here and renting a flat here is not a bed of roses. Every time I've moved in, the search lived in a group chat. My partner(s) pasted a Rightmove link or an OpenRent one and three days later nobody we would forget what exactly we liked and what we should do next. The actual comparison exists in one person's head, and only until they close the laptop.

The usual fix is a spreadsheet. One person sets it up it ends up with four columns

So I built [We Want To Rent](https://wewanttorent.com/rent-hunts) a shared shortlist for a rent hunt.

* **Paste a link from any rental site**. The place gets its own page inside your hunt, and everyone you've invited sees it immediately. * **Notes that stay put**. Rent, rooms, the walk to the station, the thing the agent said on the phone. Written once, seen by everyone. * **Stages you move places through** shortlisted, viewing booked, offer in, ruled out. Rename them, reorder them, delete the ones that don't match how you're searching. * **A map**. Search the address or drag the pin. Mostly useful for seeing how far apart the options actually are. * **Photos from the listing** or from the viewing, and only your team can open them. * **Add a place from your phone** while you're standing outside it, before you forget the door code.

We are dog fooding this app and currently on the move from Kent to London.

If you have time and also think the rent hunt problem is not just in my head, please do let me know what you think about this:

* Is the after-you-move stuff a feature or a distraction? That's where most of the work went. * If you've moved with housemates — spreadsheet, or did it stay in the chat?
