No screenshots, no Venmo deposits, no PDF leases routed through three group chats.
Open to anything? Browse listings across the city. Know exactly what you want? Post a Wanted with your dates and budget, and matching hosts will message you.
Chat with hosts on Merriday and schedule a video tour right on our platform. Found the one? Send a booking request to lock in your dates.
Leases are prepared and signed on Merriday. Reserve the place or pay in full, and your deposit is held in a dedicated FDIC-insured account.
Get your keys and a move-in guide. Your first month's rent doesn't reach the host until you confirm everything checks out.
Hosts verify before they list. Renters verify before they book. You always know who you're dealing with before anything gets serious.
Payments run through Merriday. Leases are prepared and signed with one click. Security deposits sit in a dedicated FDIC-insured account, never in your host's.
$50
Booking fee
A one-time fee renters pay at booking. Hosts pay nothing.
5%
Renter service fee
A small monthly fee on top of the listing price. Hosts keep the price they set.
$0
To browse
Browsing, messaging, posting what you're looking for. All free. We only earn when you book with us.
You set your price, the renter pays one small service fee on top, and you keep 100% of what you asked for. We only make money when a booking actually happens, so we want your place rented as badly as you do.
