Invite your own tenant: how Direct Invite works on Hospi Housing

Already found someone to rent your room to? With Direct Invite Tenant on Hospi Housing, you can invite your own tenant and still manage contracts, deposits, and rent payments through the platform.

Sometimes you already know who you want to rent your room to. Maybe a friend is looking for housing, a colleague needs a temporary room, or someone in your network was referred to you. In these cases, you don’t necessarily need to find a tenant through a housing platform - but you may still want a clear contract and a safe rental process.

That’s exactly why Direct Invite Tenant exists on Hospi Housing. With this feature, hosts can invite their own tenant to the platform and still manage the entire rental through Hospi - including contracts, deposits, rent payments and full support during the entire rental period. In this article we will tell you how it works.

The regular process: finding a tenant through Hospi

Hospi Housing supports hosts and landlords throughout the entire rental process — from exploring what is possible, to finding a tenant, creating a contract, and providing support during the rental period. Our goal is to make renting out a room as easy and straightforward as possible.

In most cases, hosts find their tenants directly through the Hospi Housing platform. The process usually looks like this:

• Create an account on Hospi Housing
• List the room or space you want to rent out
• Chat with interested candidates
• Schedule a viewing or online introduction
• Choose the tenant who is the best match

From that moment on, everything can be managed through the platform, including:

• digital signing of the rental contract
• the tenant paying the deposit
• monthly rent payments directly to your account
• support during the rental period

Direct Invite: invite a tenant you already know

Sometimes you already have the right tenant in mind. For example, someone may have been referred to you by a previous tenant, or you may know someone personally who is looking for a room.

In that case, you can use Direct Invite to invite that person directly to Hospi Housing. The process works as follows:

• Log in to Hospi Housing (or create an account)
• Go to your Tenants overview
• Click Send direct invite
• Enter the email address of the person you want to invite and send the link
• The tenant receives an email with the invitation link
• By clicking the link, the tenant can immediately create an account
• After that, you will be connected through the Hospi chat

From there, the process works exactly the same as with a regular match on Hospi Housing. You can then:

• offer a rental contract and sign it digitally
• arrange the deposit safely through Hospi Housing
• manage rent payments through the platform
• benefit from all services, safeties and guarantees during the rental period

Why manage the rental through Hospi Housing?

Even if you already know your tenant, it can still be helpful to manage the rental through Hospi Housing.

With Direct Invite, you combine the convenience of choosing your own tenant - without a long search - with the security, safety, and services of the Hospi platform. Some of the benefits include:

• a clear and legally sound rental contract
• secure deposit handling and management
• no worries about timely rent payments
• a clear overview of payments and automatic reminders
• personal support during the entire rental period

When is Direct Invite useful?

Inviting a tenant yourself is particularly useful when:

• you found a tenant through your own network
• a friend or colleague is looking for a room
• you have already agreed on renting but still need a contract
• you want additional security and structure
• you would like support with organising the rental properly
• you want to benefit from Hospi Housing services and support

In all these situations, you can simply invite the tenant through Hospi Housing and still benefit from the platform’s safety, services, and support throughout the entire rental period. For hosts and landlords, this service is free.
