$25 deposit · a real spot on the waitlist.
Lock in a spot on the Renthound waitlist with a $25 deposit. Refundable if no spot opens within 30 days. Credited toward your first month when an offer is accepted. Forfeited only after a declined offer or a missed acceptance deadline.
Pay $25 · hold your place.
Three outcomes, stated up front.
The $25 deposit isn't part of a subscription. It exists to hold one renter accountable per slot — and to make the refund / credit / forfeit terms fair to everyone on the list.
Refundable up to 30 days
If 30 days pass with no spot opening, you get a full refund. We charge the deposit to a public Stripe account; refunds go through the platform.
No spot in 30 days → $25 refundedCredited on admission
When a spot opens and you accept, the $25 is credited toward your first month. It isn't a discount — it's apples-to-apples cash against the lease.
Accept offer → $25 toward first monthForfeited on decline or lapse
Decline the offer or miss the 7-day acceptance window and the deposit is retained. That's what makes one-renter-per-slot real.
