General Terms
- Nature of this Site
- This Site offers a platform for people looking to sublease their bedroom (“Host”) to someone else (“Subletter”) willing to rent it. Hosts can create a profile and list a bedroom or property by adding listing details. Then they can then browse Subletter accounts filtered by preferences that most align with their offer (“matches”). Blueroom’s proprietary algorithm matches Hosts and Subletters based on how similar the Host’s listing details are to the Subletters preferences. Hosts are then matched with Subletters, which can happen two different ways, 1) a Host can request to match with a Subletter, essentially asking the Subletter if they are interested in subletting their listing, or 2) a Subletter can request to match with a Host, inherently requesting to sublease the Host’s listing. After a Host or a Subletter has received a request to match, they can either confirm or decline the match. If accepted, both parties will be placed on the same mail thread meant to further communicate subletting details (move-in date, property address, etc.). The Services that Blueroom offers end after two parties are a confirmed match and they are put on the same email thread. Blueroom does get involved in the payments, contracts, or sublease agreements between the two parties.
