StayOnMap

The trust problem brokers used to solve, engineered instead. India’s rental market runs on brokers and a month’s rent in commission, because neither side knows who to trust. StayOnMap replaces that judgment with an engineered one — live trust scoring, an agent watching for fraud, and a direct line between owner and tenant.

01 The problem

Indian renters pay one to two months’ rent just to find a home.

What a broker does

The job StayOnMap replaces

  • Shows you flats — for a fee, on top of the rent
  • Vouches for the owner, on their word alone
  • Handles the paperwork, slowly and manually
  • Exists mainly to solve one problem: nobody knows who to trust
What StayOnMap does instead

Trust, engineered

  • Scores every listing across twelve live signals
  • Watches continuously for fraud patterns, not just at listing time
  • Auto-suspends high-risk listings before a tenant ever visits
  • Connects owner and tenant directly — no commission, no middle call

03 What it does

Six systems. One engineered product.

01

Map-first homepage

Full-screen map is the product. Property pins show live rent prices and update as you pan and zoom, with city navigation and geocoding built in.

02

Broker-free listings

Owners list directly, tenants connect directly — no intermediary, no commission. Each listing carries BHK, furnishing, amenities, rules, and photos.

03

Appointment system

Tenants request visits by date and time; owners accept, reject, or reschedule from one shared dashboard.

04

Trust & risk scoring

Twelve live sub-scores compound into a trust score per listing. A separate risk score, built from reports and fraud signals, auto-suspends a listing once it crosses a high-risk threshold — no human queue.

05

Real-time chat

Tenant–owner messaging with online status, typing indicators, and persistent history. Conversations stay private — even admins can’t read them.

06

Agent-driven fraud detection

An agent reasons over listings and behavior patterns, flagging anomalies continuously or on demand, with every flag traceable to the signals behind it. Opt-in today.

04 How it works

Two user types. One account.

Every account is both tenant and owner — owner tools appear the moment you post a first listing.

For tenants

01Browse property pins on the map in your area
02Open a pin for full details, then request a visit
03Chat with the owner and sign a lease digitally

For owners

01Create a listing with photos, details, and house rules
02Manage visit requests and chat with interested tenants
03Send a lease offer and track it through to signing
