Build a transparent rent-splitting app to replace Flex
The Problem
Renters with variable income are denied by existing rent-splitting services due to income verification requirements.
Real Demand Evidence
Found on reddit·1 month ago
Flex denied me because my paychecks were not consistent enough, even though I have never missed rent. I need to split my $1,800 rent into two payments and there is literally no app that will let me do it without a credit check and opaque approval process.
