SummUpp app for iPhone and iPad

Whats SummUpp?
SummUpp app is a rental negotiation platform where a person can anonymously request the owner/lessor/tenant to lower the rent. The owner/tenant/lessor has the final say whether they accepts lowering the rent at a certain amount or decline the request. Users are allowed to ask the owner/lessor/tenant to lower the rent again once they has replied to you previous request.

If a tenant accepts lowering the subleases rent, the tenant has to either pay the difference to the new tenant or pay the portion to the landlord as part of a present or future rent.

Who benefits the most from the app?
Mostly students who leave their apartments empty during summer and look for a person to takeover the lease while he/she absences. In most cases, students pay the rent while they are not, technically, living in their apartments. Because they have a year contract. With SummUpp, students can pay a portion of the rent and have another person subleases/temporary takeovers for number of months.

Interns also benefit great deal out of SummUpp. Internships usually last for couple months and then returns back to school in most case for students attending college. An intern search for a short period lease and an affordable rent. SummUpp presents this service through negotiating the presented rent by one click.
