PadLink — Student Housing Platform
Increasing Off-Campus Property Finding Rates by 60% With a Secure, One-Stop Student Housing Platform.
The challenge
Finding off-campus housing was a significant challenge for university students — particularly those unfamiliar with local rental markets. Property owners struggled to connect with reliable student tenants, and universities had no visibility into the off-campus housing landscape around their campus.
What we built
The approach.
01Nearby Property Search — Students search for available properties within a specified distance from their university with map-based browsing, filters, and distance-to-campus indicators.
02Roommate Match — A structured roommate matching feature connects students looking for compatible housemates based on preferences, study habits, and lifestyle compatibility.
03Ownership Verification — All property listings go through an ownership verification process before going live protecting students from fraudulent listings and giving landlords a trusted profile.
04Electronic Lease System — Leases are created, reviewed, and signed digitally within the platform — eliminating paper contracts and providing a secure, legally valid tenancy record.
05Online 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.
06Maintenance System — Students submit maintenance requests directly through the platform tracked from submission to resolution, with notifications keeping tenants and landlords informed.
07Schedule Appointments & Calendar — Students and property owners schedule property viewings and appointments directly through the platform with calendar integration and automated reminders.
08Ratings & Reviews — Students leave ratings and reviews for properties and landlords after their stay building a transparent reputation system that helps future tenants make informed decisions.
