Commune is a social renting service that makes it seamless and affordable for Africans to rent homes directly from their smartphones with the mission of making home renting easy, fun, and socially engaging. The company provides access to information on available homes that fit the users' criteria. This cuts out the need for expensive physical inspections and dealing with exploitative agents. Through the platform, homeowners can also list their properties for rent and get interested tenants. One feature that makes commune social is the ability to co-rent an apartment on the platform. Prospective tenants can find flat mates through the app to share the cost of renting with while also meeting new people.
