Subletting on a handshake is how people get burned
They pay late, you get charged
Your landlord does not care that you sublet. Late rent is your late fee, your lease violation, your problem.
With Avouch: Where available, rent is pulled from their bank on schedule, so it never gets that far.
There is nothing in writing
A group chat is not an agreement. When the dates, the rent, or the move-out date is suddenly in question, there is nothing to point at.
With Avouch: A real e-signed sublease agreement, with both names on it and a copy in both inboxes.
You get blamed for the damage
Without a dated record of how the place looked, a move-out charge is one person's word against another.
With Avouch: Timestamped move-in photos, saved to the agreement, settle it before it starts.
How it works
About five minutes, start to finish.
Set the terms
Answer a few questions and Avouch builds the sublease agreement from your terms.
Sign it first
You sign before you send it, so what they open is already half done and only needs their name.
Send one link
Send it to everyone you're considering. The first to finish takes the place and every other link goes dead automatically.
Then it runs itself
Timestamped move-in photos go on record, and in 24 states rent moves from their bank to yours automatically each month.
See it in action
A quick walkthrough: set up the sublease, e-sign, invite, document the place, and watch rent collect itself.
Common questions

Still have a question?
support@avouchsublease.com01What is Avouch?
Avouch is a sublease agreement and rent-collection tool for two students who have already agreed on a deal. It generates a real, e-signed sublease agreement, documents the place with timestamped move-in photos, and can pull rent from the subletter's bank account automatically each month so a late payment never becomes the lister's late fee. It is not a listings site.
02Why would I use this instead of just texting?
Because your name stays on the lease. If your subletter pays late, your landlord charges you, not them. If the dates or the rent are ever disputed, a group chat is not an agreement. And if there is a damage claim at move-out, nobody has a dated record of how the place looked. Avouch is the written agreement, the photo record, and the rent showing up on time.
03What does Avouch cost?
$19.99 once per sublease, paid by the lister. It covers the agreement, both e-signatures with a certificate of completion, and the timestamped move-in photo record, and it includes automatic rent collection in the 24 states where that is available. The subletter always pays $0. No subscription, no listing fee, and no percentage of your rent: where automatic rent runs we take the one-time fee out of the first rent transfer and nothing after that.
04Does Avouch hold my money?
No, it never sits with Avouch. When automatic rent payments are set up, rent moves straight from the subletter's bank to the lister's bank through Stripe, a licensed payment company, on the schedule both people signed. Avouch takes no percentage of the rent and never holds deposits; the one-time fee comes out of the first transfer only.
05Is an Avouch sublease legally binding?
Avouch generates a standardized sublease and captures a legally structured e-signature under the federal ESIGN Act and UETA, the same framework behind most online contracts. Make sure your original lease allows subletting.
06Is Avouch safe and legit?
Your money never sits with Avouch. When automatic rent payments are set up (available in 24 states), rent goes straight to the lister through Stripe, the same regulated payment company behind millions of online businesses; where automatic payments aren't available yet, you simply pay each other directly. And every deal gets a real signed agreement plus a dated photo record of the condition, so if anything goes wrong later, you both have proof to point to.
07How is Avouch different from Facebook Marketplace?
Marketplace helps you find a sublet. Avouch is for what comes after you've found each other: a signed agreement and a documented unit, so nobody ghosts or argues later.
A real agreement and a documented move-in, for the sublease you already arranged. No surprises.
