Real Roost screens, with invented sample data.
For landlords
Less work on every letting.
Less admin
Fewer loose emails, documents and messages. Applications arrive in one place, in order of arrival.
More overview
For each home you see who applied, who you proceeded with and who you invited.
You stay in control
Roost organises the process. It does not rank and does not choose: you choose the tenant.
Privacy
Select fairly. Without unnecessary personal data.
Roost helps you run a structured and transparent selection process.
The same requirements for everyone
You publish your requirements beforehand. Every applicant sees the same procedure and answers the same questions.
Answers first, then the name
An application is a candidate number and the answers to your requirements. You see the name only once you decide to proceed.
Documents only when needed
You ask for proof of income only after that, and only for a published requirement. The document is deleted as soon as you record your review.
The address with the invitation
An applicant gets the exact address only when you invite them to a viewing. Every round can be exported as a record without names.
Roost does not give legal advice and does not make a selection lawful by itself. You remain the landlord.

Where do I advertise my home?
Wherever you like: Funda, Pararius, Kamernet, social media or your own network. Roost is not a listings site. You put your Roost link in your advert.
Does a renter have to install an app?
No. Renters apply in their browser through your link and sign in with a code by email.
When do I see who applied?
First you see a candidate number and the answers to your requirements. You see the name once you decide to proceed with a candidate.
When does a candidate get the address?
Only when you invite them to a viewing. Before that a candidate sees the neighbourhood only.
Can I set my own requirements?
You choose from set requirements: a minimum gross monthly income, a maximum number of occupants, an earliest move-in date and a minimum lease term. Roost writes out the procedure, so every candidate sees the same text.
Does Roost choose the tenant for me?
No. Roost puts each answer next to your requirement, but does not rank and does not decide. You choose the tenant.
What happens to documents?
You ask for proof of income only after proceeding with a candidate, and only for a published requirement. Only you see the document. It is deleted as soon as you record your review.
Does Roost handle the lease?
No. You arrange the lease yourself with your tenant. Then you mark the home as let in Roost, and the other candidates hear the outcome.
Can I use Roost for one home?
Yes. Roost works per home, whether you let one or several.
How does Founding Gold work?
Complete your first letting with Roost while places remain: you choose a tenant in a selection round and mark the home as let. Then you become a Founding Gold Member and use Roost V1 free until 8 November 2028. Signing up alone is not enough. Founding Gold starts when Roost launches.
