HousingAnywhere's Tenant-Protection and what it offers

Tenant protection

All bookings on HousingAnywhere come with Tenant Protection, which ensures a secure and stress-free rental experience from start to finish. For example, if a landlord cancels or delays your move-in, we’ll help you find alternative accommodations or a temporary stay. We also protect your payment by holding your first month’s rent for 48 hours after you move in. This allows you to confirm that everything is as promised.
