Your safety matters

We build safety into every part of Stay. Here's how we protect our community.

Phone Verification

All landlords verify their phone number before listing. This helps build accountability on the platform.

Review System

Both tenants and landlords can leave reviews. Transparent feedback helps the community make informed decisions.

Secure Messaging

All communication happens through our secure in-app messaging. Your personal contact details remain private.

Safety Reporting

Report safety concerns directly through the app. We respond to all safety reports within 24 hours during business hours.

Report & Block

Easily report suspicious listings or users. We investigate and take action on every report within 24 hours.

Safety Tips

1

Always communicate through the Stay app — avoid sharing personal phone numbers until you're comfortable.

2

Visit properties during daylight hours and bring a friend when possible.

3

Be cautious with payments. Always meet your landlord in person before transferring any money. Never pay someone you haven't verified.

4

If a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is. Report suspicious listings immediately.

5

Check reviews and ratings before booking. Previous tenant experiences are your best guide.

6

Trust your instincts — if something feels off about a listing or landlord, move on.
