Housing Shouldn't Be This Hard
We're building the housing platform we wished existed when we were students.
The Problem We Saw
Every summer, thousands of students scramble to find housing for internships. Every winter break, apartments sit empty while students pay rent on places they're not using. And when students try to sublet on existing platforms, they often end up dealing with strangers who don't understand student life.
We've all heard the horror stories: damaged apartments, missed payments, parties that got out of hand. The problem isn't subletting—it's subletting to people you can't trust.
What if you could only sublet to other verified students from top universities? People who have as much to lose as you do if things go wrong?
Our Solution
Student Stays is a housing marketplace exclusively for verified students at top universities. Every user must sign up with their .edu email from a partner institution—no exceptions.
This creates a network of trust. When you sublet your apartment to a fellow MIT student or rent from a Stanford grad student, you know you're dealing with someone who values their academic standing and reputation.
Different schools have different academic calendars. MBA students have summer internships in different cities. Undergrads go home for winter break. Instead of leaving apartments empty or dealing with random subletters, students can easily coordinate with each other.

Meet the Founder
Haamid Adam
Founder & CEO
After experiencing the chaos of finding housing during MBA internship season—and hearing countless horror stories from classmates about unreliable subletters—I knew there had to be a better way. Student Stays is the platform I wish existed when I was looking for summer housing.
Our Commitment
We take a small service fee to keep the platform running and continuously improve the experience. Our goal isn't to maximize profit—it's to solve the student housing problem once and for all.
