When Juliet Miller decided to move out of the apartment in Gramercy and go back to long island to save money on brokerage, she placed an ad on Joinery. It is a platform that allows people who are in search of accommodation for rent, to find it not through brokers, and through advertisements of tenants will soon move out from the rented apartments.
Within a few days she received 10 applications from potential interested tenants.

On average, half the monthly rental cost – in any case, less than 15% of the annual amount.
The website has been operating for more than a year and, if in the beginning it was focused on the individual of tenants, but now the business model of the company focuses more on the involvement of large landlords and management companies, who then encourage their tenants to place ads on the vacated housing. This reduces the idle time of shelter rent and help you find customers.
The platform does not allow ad placement brokers. Data about the tenant who posted the information about the expiring housing, are studied in detail.

For their services the website requests that less than 1% of the cost of the monthly rent.
