Roost is a platform for midterm rentals, helping property owners connect with guests looking for stays of 30 days or longer. The app allows users to search, book, communicate, and manage payments in one place, with a focus on furnished housing for traveling professionals, relocations, and other extended stays.
The platform was designed to simplify the mid-term rental experience for both hosts and guests through an easy-to-use mobile marketplace experience. Features include property listings, in-app messaging, integrated booking and payment functionality, and monthly rate structures. The platform also includes a guest-paid Roost Protection Plan, supported through a partnership with RentalGuardian, designed to provide reservation-related protection coverage. Roost’s completed MVP mobile applications have been approved in both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, with branding, domains, social media assets, and foundational business infrastructure already in place for launch and future expansion.

About the Business
- Facilities & Assets
- Included assets consist of completed MVP iOS and Android marketplace applications approved in both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, website, domains, branding, intellectual property rights, and social media assets. No physical facilities or inventory are required.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- Roost operates within the growing mid-term rental (“MTR”) market, serving guests seeking stays typically ranging from one to six months. Demand for flexible housing continues to increase due to remote and hybrid work trends, traveling professionals, insurance displacement stays, relocations, and extended travel needs. At the same time, many property owners are looking for alternatives to traditional short-term rentals as regulations and market saturation continue to impact the STR industry in certain areas.
Competition includes traditional short-term rental platforms, long-term rental listing sites, and niche furnished housing marketplaces. Roost was designed specifically around the mid-term stay experience, with a focus on providing a streamlined marketplace experience, fairer pricing for guests, and more stable occupancy opportunities for hosts. The business enters a large and expanding market segment where no single platform has fully established dominant market leadership.
