Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to some questions that you may have
Q
Should I worry about my landlord finding out?
Nope.
In fact, most property managers are already collaborating on pricing. Do unto others as they do unto you.
Q
How are property managers collaborating on pricing?
Property management software companies aggregate lease data and provide comparable rental services or rent matching. Here is a list of companies providing that kind of information:
- RealPage through YieldStar
- Appfolio through Rent Match
- Yardi through Rent Maximizer
- Cozy through Rent Estimate
- Etc.
Q
How is Padfever different?
We're a transparency company focused on bringing real rent to every one.
Q
Can't this information be used by my landlord to take advantage of me?
Yep. But they collaborate on pricing already. Tenants are the only ones left out.
Q
Why are you guys building this?
We saw a deep need and asymmetry in the rental markets. It's unfair the tenants are expected to pay fair market rate without knowing what that rate is. This is even worse when the fair market rent is used in a tribunal setting.

How do you guys make money?
We currently don't. We are exploring value add services that would target underwriters and investors.
