How do you vet homeowners?
Down arrow icon

At CoLife, we have a comprehensive vetting process to ensure the quality and reliability of homeowners on our platform. Our vetting process includes a free-of-charge thorough nationwide background check and a meticulous review of each homeowner's application.

In addition to the background check, we carefully review each homeowner's application. This includes evaluating their property details, rental requirements, and any specific preferences they may have. We pay close attention to factors such as cleanliness, property condition, and adherence to CoLife's guidelines and standards.

By combining the complimentary background check and application review, we aim to create a reliable and trustworthy community of homeowners on our platform. This rigorous vetting process helps us ensure that renters have access to high-quality, well-maintained properties and fosters a sense of security and peace of mind for everyone involved in the CoLife experience.

When can I move in?
Down arrow icon

At CoLife, we understand the importance of finding a home that suits your needs and timeline. We have a diverse selection of move-in ready homes available on our platform, allowing you the flexibility to move in at any time that is convenient for you.

Once you have successfully completed the application process and found a compatible match, you can discuss the move-in details directly with the homeowner. They will provide you with information regarding the availability of the property and coordinate a move-in date that aligns with your preferences. Our goal is to make the transition as smooth as possible, ensuring that you can settle into your new CoLife home whenever you are ready.

How will CoLife keep my information safe and secure?
Down arrow icon

All of our complimentary background and credit checks are done by a third party trusted vendor. We keep all other private information, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, etc., private, until an interested party has completed their background and credit check.

What if i'm unhappy with my CoLiving situation?

For all of our renters and homeowners, if you’re not happy we will find you a different living situation for free (you’ll of course have to check this with your lease as well).
