myhabi grew out of the realization that "repeat renting" - renting where the owner and renter have had previous dealings - is a very different proposition from rentals between unknown parties. There is a level of trust and familiarity between owner and renter and often between renter and rental property. Given the greater level of knowledge, we feel it is appropriate to change the paradigm:

• By private invitation - Anyone can list their house on myhabi but only potential renters that are invited by the home owner can see that listing.
• Low and balanced fees - Since using myhabi is a lower risk proposition, the fees for both renter and owner should be lower and more equally loaded.
• Ease of communication - Since there is a connection between renter and owner, myhabi doesn't try to limit communication between the two parties. If you want to email your renter, go for it. If you want to communicate through the app, that works too.
