Current market problems
StayInFamily aims to solve the housing shortage problem of college students that northern Italy is currently experiencing. Proposing an alternative to rooms in shared apartments our service is designed to solve the following market inefficiencies:
Shortages of rooms
Many Italian cities are experiencing a gradual shortage of rental housing, especially for medium-term stays. Lately, many students are giving up their study opportunities due to this problem.
Long Search Process
The shortage of rooms and accommodations lengthens the search process time. In many cases, it happens that months pass before a permanent solution is found, with the risk of running into misleading offers.
Too High Rent
Another serious problem that is plaguing the market is the considerable increase in rental prices in the post-pandemic period, with substantial increases of up to 45 percent in major Italian university cities.
Lack of Medium Term Rentals
The current supply is focused on long and short-term rentals, leaving a gap in medium-term rentals (1 to 10 months).
