Spleet
Accessible apartments and fair rent payments in Africa.
How does it work?
Spleet focuses on simplifying the process of renting an apartment across Africa. The journey of providing Africans with the kind of liveable apartments that ensure comfortable living for them starts from onboarding landlords and homeowners on the Spleet Africa Hosting platform. In order to ensure that they're offering the best homes to members, they have a team of facility managers that concern themselves with viewing and ensuring homes meet a certain standard. Renters on Spleet Africa enjoy a flexible payment structure that allows them to pay monthly, quarterly, or annually, depending on what works best. They also have 'Rent Now, Pay Later' service.
Why is it needed?
According to Spleet, renting an apartment in major cities has become such a nightmare with numerous pain points ranging from discrimination to overpriced apartments. Africa’s growing real estate market has resulted in overpriced houses that lack even the most basic amenities. And bias in accepting tenants has resulted in discrimination based on gender, tribe, and religion.
How does it improve life?
Spleet's mission is building a future where everyone gets a fair chance at efficient and affordable living spaces. For them, the path to this future is through creating a lifestyle brand that is first positioned to meet housing needs. Spleet is currently available in Ghana, Kenya and Nigeria. In March 2022, Spleet raised $625,000 in an oversubscribed pre-seed round.
