What JourneyStead is
The whole product in one page: who it is for, what it does, and what it does not do.
On this page
This page has no sections.
JourneyStead is a place to find somewhere to stay, and to let it. It starts in Phuthaditjhaba, in the Free State, with student rooms near UFS Qwaqwa first, and it is built so that the person renting and the person letting see the same record of what was said, agreed and paid.
What you can do with it
If you are looking for a place, you can:
- search rooms, beds, flats and houses, by rent, by what you rent and by how far they are from your campus or workplace;
- message the landlord from the listing, and book a viewing yourself;
- fill in your details once, as a rental passport, and apply with the parts you choose to share;
- sign the lease on your phone, see what you owe and pay it, report a repair and say when it is fixed.
If you are letting property, you can:
- add your properties and what you let in them, and write listings that our team checks before they go live;
- answer enquiries as a team, offer viewing times, and decide on applications;
- draw up leases, collect signatures, and see who lives where;
- send invoices, follow what is owed, and run repairs and inspections.
If a manager runs property for you, you have an owner portal with your statements and the spending they ask you to approve.
One account for all of it
You do not make one account to rent and another to let. A single sign-in does both, and a landlord can switch between their own renting account and their letting business from the menu. See Finding your way around.
Every listing is checked
A listing goes live only after someone at JourneyStead has looked at it. A landlord whose identity our team has checked carries a verified badge on every listing. Neither of these is a promise about a particular place. Look at it, meet the landlord, and read the safety page before you pay anything.
