What goes wrong when you sublet with no written agreement

They pay late. You get the late fee.

Your name is still on the lease. If they pay late, your landlord charges you, not them.

With Avouch: In the states we cover, rent is pulled from their bank every month on schedule and sent on to yours.

Nothing is in writing

A text thread is not an agreement. If you disagree later about the rent or the dates, there is nothing to point to.

With Avouch: A real sublease agreement, signed by both of you, with a copy in both inboxes.

You get blamed for damage

Without photos that show the date and how the place looked, you cannot prove a damage charge at move-out was not your fault.

With Avouch: Move-in photos with the date and time on them, saved with the agreement.

How it works

About five minutes.

01

Answer a few questions

The address, the dates, and the rent. Avouch turns your answers into the sublease agreement.

02

Sign it

You sign first. Then the other person signs.

03

Send them the link

They open it, read it, and sign. Sent it to more than one person? The first to sign gets the place and the other links stop working.

04

Rent comes to you

In 24 states, rent is taken from their bank and sent to yours every month, automatically. Move-in photos are saved with the agreement.

support@avouchsublease.com
01What is Avouch?

Avouch is for after you find someone to take your place. It writes the sublease agreement from what you two agreed on. You both sign it online. It saves move-in photos with the date on them. In the states we cover, it takes their rent from their bank each month, so you never have to chase it. It does not help you find someone. You do that first.

02My building does lease takeovers instead of subletting. Can I still use this?

Yes. Your landlord puts the lease in the new person's name. That part goes through them. Avouch covers what is just between you two: splitting a month of rent, any deposit or money one of you owes the other, and what condition the place was in on move-in day. You both sign it and both keep a copy.

03Why would I use this instead of just texting?

Because your name stays on the lease. If they pay late, your landlord charges you. If you disagree later about the rent or the dates, a text thread is not an agreement. If there is a damage charge at move-out, nobody has photos with a date on them. Avouch gives you the signed agreement, the photos, and rent collected automatically every month.

04What does Avouch cost?

$5, one time, for the agreement. The person leaving pays it, and only after the other person signs. In 24 states, rent can be taken from their bank automatically each month. When that happens, you each pay $2.50 per payment: $2.50 from you and $2.50 from them. No rent paid that month, no fee. Paying rent by credit card adds 3%. No subscription. Avouch never takes a percentage of the rent.

05Does Avouch hold my money?

No. Stripe, a licensed payment company, moves the rent from their bank or card to your bank. Avouch never holds rent or deposits. Avouch's fee is $2.50 from each of you on each monthly payment.

06Is an Avouch sublease legally binding?

Both of you sign it online. That electronic signature is legally recognized under two laws, the federal ESIGN Act and UETA. Those are the same laws behind most contracts signed online. Check that your lease allows subletting first.

07Is Avouch safe and legit?

Your money never sits with Avouch. Rent moves through Stripe, the same payment company millions of businesses use. Automatic rent runs in 24 states. Everywhere else, you pay each other directly. Every deal gets a signed agreement and photos with the date on them, so if something goes wrong later, you both have proof.

08How is Avouch different from Facebook Marketplace?

Marketplace helps you find someone. Avouch is for after that: the signed agreement, the photos, and the rent.

You found the person. Avouch handles the agreement, the photos, and the rent.
