Platform for rental services between students and landlords in Ho Chi Minh City

Abstract

The student accommodation is an eternal problem, especially in big cities like Ho Chi Minh City. On average, each year, the city receives nearly 200,000 students from other provinces and cities across the country. Meanwhile, the number of dormitory rooms does not meet the needs of students, on average in Ho Chi Minh City, about 70% of students have to rent rooms outside to stay. New students always have difficulty in finding accommodation that suits their needs and abilities. Choosing for yourself a hostel near the school, fully equipped, at a reasonable cost is an ideal model and it is difficult to find in a short period of time. In addition, roommates are also a difficult problem, when one part also wants to be with friends to share the cost, the other part also hopes that the roommate will match your personality and lifestyle. Besides the difficulties of students, the hostel owners themselves also face many difficulties to reach the students. Although the facilities are good, there is no marketing strategy, or the geographical location is not convenient for search, leading to the situation that the innkeeper is very difficult to introduce the room to their customers. Realizing the problem, UniHome was founded with the goal of connecting landlords with students and making it easier for students to find hostels. Students and parents can look for safe accommodations near the school. Furthermore, UniHome is a service-providing platform; we aim to provide not only accommodation, but also convenience in procedures and accompanying utilities and services.
