The student taking a lease over is never charged, at any point. The student handing one off pays once, and only once somebody has actually asked about their place.

The Access Pass
One thing costs money: replying to the students who ask about your listing. That is the moment the product has actually done something, so that is the moment it charges.
Reply to everyone who asks about your listing, not one of them
Release the exact address when you decide somebody is right
Run the five steps of the handoff in the thread
It is not a listing fee. Posting is free whether anybody asks or not.
It is not per person. One pass covers every conversation on that listing.
It is not a subscription. It runs its window and stops.
The clock starts when you send your first reply, not when you pay. Buy it on a Sunday, answer somebody on Wednesday, and you have lost nothing.
How long do you need
The only difference between these is the length of the window. None of them limits how many people you talk to, and none of them unlocks a feature the others do not have.
14 days$25Enough for a fast match, if your dates are already close.
30 daysMost take this$40Gives you 4 weeks of full conversation access to respond to real interest.
60 days$60Sometimes it takes a little longer to find the right fit.
A pass covers one listing. A parent running two students buys two, which is also why a co-pilot can pay for the one they are helping with.
Why this side pays
Somebody looking for a place to live in January is not the person with money to spare. The person carrying a lease they cannot afford has a number in front of them every month, and a reason to want this over with. Charging the searcher would also give us a reason to keep them searching, which is the opposite of the job.
