Both sides win
One lease. Two students. Nobody overpays.
The student leaving stops paying for months they cannot use. The student moving in pays less than the lease asks. Same place, better math for both.

Whether you are moving in or moving on, here is your next step.
Handoff makes the introduction. You handle the lease and payments directly.
Finding a place
-
01
Pick your campus and your dates.
Narrow by budget, rooms, and the months you actually need.
-
02
Compare them on the map.
See the price and the walk to campus at the same time.
-
03
Send a request, then talk.
Once the owner accepts, you both see each other's email.
Listing a place
-
01
Show the space.
Add your rent, your dates, and photos. Save a draft until it is ready.
-
02
Publish it to your campus.
Verify your student email once, then your place is live to students nearby.

Accept the student you want.
Read the introductions, pick one, and arrange the rest together.
Start with your campus
Four campuses. One less thing to figure out.
Why Handoff
Three things that make the difference.
Start with something in common.
Use an email that matches your campus. Verify it before posting a place or sending a request.
Find the place that fits your plans.
Compare rent, dates, photos, and amenities. Switch between listings and the map to get your bearings.
Your email stays private until it is time.
Send a short introduction. Both emails are revealed when the listing owner accepts the request.
Good questions
A few things you might be wondering.
A clearer picture before you make your move.
Take a look aroundHow does student verification work?
Choose your campus and sign up with its matching school email address. We’ll send a verification link. Verify your email before you list a place or send a handoff request.
Verification confirms access to that email. It doesn’t verify a person’s identity, enrollment, property, or lease.
Is Handoff free to use?
Yes. Browsing, posting listings, and sending requests are free to use. Handoff doesn’t collect rent or deposits. You and the other student arrange the lease and any payments directly.
When is my email shared?
Your email isn’t shown on public listings or pending requests. When a listing owner accepts a request, both students can see each other’s email in the app. Keep contact details out of your listing and introduction if you want them to stay private until then.
Can I list a room in a shared apartment?
Yes. Choose a private room, shared room, or entire place. Include clear photos, accurate dates, and the details someone would want to know about roommates, shared spaces, utilities, and lease requirements.
Which campuses are supported?
You can sign up and browse at USC, UCLA, LMU, and CSULB. Listings are added by students, so availability varies by campus. If yours is quiet, your place could be the first.
What should we handle before moving in?
Arrange a visit, check the property and lease details, and confirm any required landlord approval. Agree on the terms directly. Handoff connects students and doesn’t inspect properties, sign leases, process payments, or resolve lease disputes.
