Stark Digital built PadLink — a comprehensive student housing platform that simplifies finding rentals near universities, facilitates roommate matching, verifies property ownership, streamlines maintenance requests, and enables secure online payments through Stripe.
Property Search & Discovery
Students search for properties near their university using distance filters, pad search, and map-based navigation — finding verified listings in their target area quickly.
Ownership Verification & Application
Every property undergoes an ownership verification process — students apply for verified listings with confidence, reducing fraud risk across the platform.
Lease Signing & Secure Payment
Electronic leases are signed digitally within the platform, and rent payments are processed securely through Stripe — with full payment history and automated reminders.
Ongoing Tenancy Management
Students submit maintenance requests, manage appointments, track vehicle transportation options
Nearby Property Search
Students search for available properties within a specified distance from their university with map-based browsing, filters, and distance-to-campus indicators.
Roommate Match
A structured roommate matching feature connects students looking for compatible housemates based on preferences, study habits, and lifestyle compatibility.
Ownership Verification
All property listings go through an ownership verification process before going live protecting students from fraudulent listings and giving landlords a trusted profile.
Electronic Lease System
Leases are created, reviewed, and signed digitally within the platform — eliminating paper contracts and providing a secure, legally valid tenancy record.
Online Rent Payment via Stripe
Tenants pay rent securely through Stripe with automated reminders and full payment history ensuring timely payments and transparent financial records for both parties.
Maintenance System
Students submit maintenance requests directly through the platform tracked from submission to resolution, with notifications keeping tenants and landlords informed.
Schedule Appointments & Calendar
Students and property owners schedule property viewings and appointments directly through the platform with calendar integration and automated reminders.
