PorchlightHunt a house. Keep a home. Rent it fairly.

Rent

Fair rent, not market max. 2 homes turning or vacant. 2 neighbors waiting on a light.

Leases

Simple occupancy for a fair rent. Move-in and move-out live here. An attorney still has to approve anything you sign. House facts stay on the house — a new household acks that version again before keys.

Turnover on 8 Oak St: Ortiz household already acked house facts version 1. Tanya Miles is the next occupancy on that same sheet. Her keys stay gated until she acks. Reed’s Next occupancy button starts the same story on First Ave.

A neighborly ledger, not a bank and not a courthouse. Porchlight does not collect rent, pull credit, or file a dispossessory. Talk first. An attorney reviews anything you would sign or serve.
