RentReality

RentReality helps renters estimate the real monthly cost of a specific apartment, not just the advertised rent. It aggregates likely add-ons—utilities, parking, trash, admin fees, internet, move-in costs, and typical annual rent increases—then produces an all-in “effective rent” number and a 12-month cashflow view. Users can forward a lease draft or fee sheet, and the app extracts charges, flags unusual clauses, and compares them to local norms. It also tracks recurring housing expenses after move-in and alerts you when costs drift above your plan. This is a mobile + web app with a combination of traditional features and AI (document parsing + anomaly detection). It’s designed to be realistic: it won’t magically find every hidden fee, but it will reduce surprises and give you a defensible budget before committing.
