How it works

A safe and secure way to rent a room.

  • Everything is perfect!

    Everything is perfect!

    Happipad has been above my expectations with the simplicity and reliability of the process and results. My hosts are concerned about my actual needs and expectations in regards to my housing and study experience.

    The whole idea of Happipad!

    The whole idea of Happipad is a win both for the guest and the host. The selection methods, the security and safety, and your management of the program. I have learned how important building an operating agreement with my guest is.

  • Great program. Thank you!!

    Great program. Thank you!!

    Previously I had tried to rent out my room privately and it did not work out. I value the convenience of Happipad and the connecting with roommates that are compatible. Great program.
