In short: My RoomMate is a decision-support tool for roommate selection. We are not a party to any rental agreement and do not verify user-submitted information.
My RoomMate provides tools that help room providers create listings, collect applications, compare responses, and communicate with applicants. We are not a landlord, tenant, letting agent, broker, property manager, background-check provider, or party to any rental or roommate agreement. We do not verify listings, users, applicant information, housing availability, identity documents, suitability, or the truthfulness of user-submitted information.
Users are responsible for their own decisions, communications, agreements, and compliance with applicable housing, tenancy, consumer, and anti-discrimination laws.
Published listings remain active for up to 120 days from the date of publication, unless completed, deactivated, or removed earlier. After this period, listings expire automatically. Payment of the listing fee does not guarantee any particular duration of availability if a listing is removed for a breach of these Legal Terms.
Application statuses, offer-related actions, confirmations, messages, and other workflow tools in the Services are provided to help users coordinate the roommate-selection process. They do not, by themselves, make My RoomMate a party to any lease, tenancy, rental, roommate, or housing agreement.
The Services may include scoring, ranking, filtering, disqualification indicators, insights, and AI-generated summaries to help room providers review applications. These features are decision-support tools only. They may be incomplete, inaccurate, or based on criteria configured by the room provider. Room providers remain solely responsible for reviewing applications, making lawful decisions, and complying with applicable housing and anti-discrimination laws.
Where the Services allow a room provider to request documents from an applicant, My RoomMate only facilitates sending the request. Unless we expressly provide otherwise, requested documents are exchanged directly between users outside the Services. We do not collect, store, review, verify, or validate those documents.
