Company mission
Lyvly is on a mission to meaningfully improve people's lives.
Our take
Renting is a difficult and often painful process for both landlords and tenants. Tenants have to search through large numbers of often outdated listings only to then be locked into long complicated contracts. Even once signed, moving into a new rental property can be stressful when organising furniture, utilities and trying to meet new people.
Landlords also suffer. Problem tenants and bad property managers pose a huge risk to their livelihood. Lyvly has realised that the long term rental market isn't working. They are solving these problems by providing a matchmaking service for high quality tenants and landlords and managing the entire rental experience with a single fee that covers every expense associated with renting.
Lyvly is aiming is to create the world's first shared living community enabled by a technology managed market place that provides tools and high-touch support to tennants and landlords.
