How Roomcy Works

A complete guide for renters and landlords — from signing up to paying rent and managing properties, all in one free app.

Roomcy is India's all-in-one room and PG rental management app. It connects room owners (landlords) directly with people looking to rent (renters), removing the need for brokers and making rent management fully digital. Here is how it works for each side.

🔍 For Renters: Find a Room in 5 Steps

1

Sign up with Google or Truecaller

Create your free Roomcy account using your Google account or by verifying your phone number via Truecaller. No lengthy forms, no ID upload required to get started.

2

Search rooms on the map

Use the live map view to see verified rooms available near you or in any area you choose. Filter by price range, furnishing (fully furnished, semi-furnished, unfurnished), room type (single, double, PG, flat), zero deposit, and more. Each listing shows real photos uploaded by the landlord.

3

Send a booking request and chat

When you find a room you like, send a booking request to the landlord. Your first message is a standard request (so landlords know your intent is genuine). Once the landlord responds, you can chat freely via text or voice message — without either side sharing their personal phone number or email.

4

Move in and pay rent via UPI

Once your booking is confirmed, move in on the agreed date. Pay rent every month via any UPI app (GPay, PhonePe, Paytm, etc.) directly to the landlord's bank account. Roomcy automatically detects your UPI payment and matches it to your booking, then the landlord confirms with one tap. A digital receipt is generated instantly — no screenshots, no manual UTR entry.

5

Build your Renter Trust Profile

Every on-time payment and positive landlord review improves your Renter Trust Profile. This profile travels with you to your next rental — share it with a new landlord to get approved faster and potentially reduce the security deposit they ask for.

🏠 For Landlords: Manage Your Property in 5 Steps

1

List your room for free

Add your room or PG with photos, rent amount, deposit, furnishing details, location on the map, and any house rules. Listings are reviewed before going live to maintain quality. You can manage multiple rooms or buildings from a single dashboard.

2

Review booking requests and screen renters

Receive booking requests from interested renters. Each request shows the renter's profile, trust score, and — if they choose to share it — their full Renter Trust Profile with past landlord reviews and payment history. Accept, reject, or message the renter to ask questions before deciding.

3

Get automatic rent-payment alerts

When your renter pays rent via UPI, Roomcy automatically detects the incoming payment and sends you an alert. Confirm the payment with one tap — and the receipt is generated instantly for both of you. No more manual bank statement checks or asking renters to "send the screenshot."

4

Track everything in your digital rent ledger

Every payment, due date, and receipt is recorded automatically in a digital ledger per renter. Set automated rent-due reminders so renters get notified before the due date without you having to follow up. View your full payment history for any renter at any time.

5

Scale with multi-property and CCTV features

If you own multiple buildings or have a managing partner, add them to your Roomcy account with appropriate access levels. Integrate your existing CCTV cameras into the app to monitor your property remotely — all in the same app you use to collect rent.
