Message hosts safely
Communicate securely on-platform
All communication happens within Subletly's secure messaging system. This protects both parties and creates a record of all conversations. Never share personal contact info until you've booked.
Pro Tips
- Introduce yourself and explain your situation
- Ask specific questions about the space
- Request a video tour if you can't visit in person
- Keep all conversations on-platform for your protection
Agree on housing terms directly
Document the deal before sending housing funds
Subletly does not collect, hold, refund, or transfer rent or security deposits. Before paying a host directly, verify the identity and property information available to you, agree to written terms, and use a traceable payment method that produces a receipt.
How it works:
- 1Find a listing and use 'Connect with Host'
- 2Keep questions and material promises in Subletly messages
- 3Confirm the host, property, dates, price, and lawful deposit terms
- 4Use your own written rental or occupancy agreement
- 5Pay the host directly with a traceable method and keep the receipt
- 6Report secrecy, pressure, mismatched names, or changed payment instructions
