An OKCupid for Apartment Renting
A new app lets renters create a profile with their job, salary information and credit history.
Any city-dweller knows the drill: show up early, dress to the nines, carry ID-plus-credit-report-and-checkbook. Be prepared to get aggressive — renting an apartment is not for the meek.
Enter Cozy, a web app that handles landlord-and-renter interactions like applications and payments, which began welcoming invite-requests from the public today after an initial test-phase with friends. The company has raised $1.5 million in seed funding, according to TechCrunch.
