New
site allows LGBTQ renters to connect with gay-friendly accommodations
For immediate release
(Sydney,
Australia) July 7, 2021:
Moving to a new neighbourhood or new city can be a daunting task. Between
finding a job, making new contacts and navigating unfamiliar streets, there are
many factors to consider. For those in the LGBTQ community, finding a new home
is made even more difficult. Gayroomrentals.com aims to eliminate the guesswork
and match welcoming landlords with those looking for accommodations in which
they can feel free to be themselves.
Gay
Room Rentals matches gay-positive housemates with landlords and ideal properties
around the world. Whether it’s a long-term apartment or a monthly rental in a
holiday hot spot, users can quickly and easily find the right room within their
budget.
Rental
listings are detailed and include information such as which utilities are
included in the rent, whether the bathrooms are shared or private and if the
room is furnished or not. In order to ensure maximum compatibility and comfort,
listings also include information about the preferred gender of potential
roommates.
Renters
can create a profile quickly and easily in just a few minutes. Filters allow
listings to be sorted by city and preferred amenities. Gay-friendly landlords
will find the process of creating a profile and adding a listing with photos of
their flat, apartment, or house intuitive and easy. Best of all, adding a
listing is free!
Top
of mind for Gay Room Rentals is the safety of the site’s users. A stringent
user verification process is in place for the safety and comfort of tenants and
landlords. In order to set up a profile, users must verify their mobile phone
number. Most users will then choose to go further in the verification process
and provide their identification as well as their social media accounts which
are verified with regards to content and hate speech. Those who are fully
verified will have a badge on their profile so that other users can have
confidence in their dealings with users.
“No
matter where you are in the world, you deserve equality and to feel at home in
your own space,” explains Andrew Aston, founder and CEO of Gay Room Rentals.
“Those in the LGBTQ community know the stress of finding the perfect place and
simultaneously wondering if they will be truly welcome by the landlord and
fellow flatmates in that space. This situation can be especially difficult for
those starting out in a new city. Knowing that you’ll be safe in your new home
makes all the difference. You can start to plan your adventure and your new
life instead of worrying.”
While
the site only launched in July, users can already browse homes in Chicago, New
York, the United Kingdom and Malta.
