Good questions

A few questions.

Take a look around

Confirm you are a student with your school email, once, before you list a place or send a request.

It confirms access to that email, not identity, enrollment, or the lease.

Yes. Browsing, listing, and requests are free, and Handoff never touches rent or deposits.

Your email stays hidden on public listings and pending requests.

Once the listing owner accepts, both students see each other's email in the app.

Yes. Choose a private room, shared room, or entire place, then add photos, dates, and the roommate details.

Handoff is live at University of Southern California, with more campuses soon.

If yours is not open yet, your place could be the first on it.

Visit the place, read the lease, and confirm any landlord approval.

Handoff connects students and does not inspect properties, sign leases, or process payments.

Your next chapter needs a place.
