How Haven works
The operating system for residential real estate, explained end to end, from the first viewing to the day the keys change hands. Pick a topic, or read it in order.
Overview
- What Haven isHaven is the operating system for residential real estate, one place for the entire tenancy, from discovery to move-out.
- The thesis: software instead of an agencyWhy a coordinated software system does the agency's job better, verified, continuous, and without the middleman's cut.
- Why nowBank rails, digital identity, and e-signature are finally good enough to run a tenancy end to end.
The lifecycle
- The tenancy lifecycle, end to endA map of every stage Haven runs, from a verified listing to the deposit returned, and how they connect.
- Discovery and verified listingsSearch homes you can trust, every listing tied to a verified owner and a real, available property.
- One application, reused everywhereBuild your rental profile once, identity and documents verified, then apply to any home in a tap.
- The lease and e-signatureA clear, compliant lease signed digitally, legally binding, timestamped, and stored for both sides.
- Rent and SEPA autopayRent that pays itself on time, SEPA direct debit for renters, predictable payouts for owners.
- The deposit, held in escrowThe security deposit sits in protected escrow, not the owner's account, until it's fairly returned.
- Maintenance and repairsReport an issue in seconds; track it to done, a shared record of every repair for the home.
- InsuranceThe right cover for renters and owners, understood in plain terms and kept in one place.
- Invoices and receiptsEvery euro documented, rent receipts, owner invoices, and a clean record you can export.
- RenewalContinue a tenancy without the friction, clear terms, agreed changes, and a re-signed lease.
- Move-out and the deposit returnA fair, documented ending: condition check, final accounts, and the deposit returned from escrow.

Trust and security
- Verification and identityHow Haven verifies renters, owners, and properties so both sides can trust who they're dealing with.
- How Haven handles moneyDouble-entry accounting, escrow, and integer-precise ledgers, every cent traceable, no balance ever fudged.
- Immutable legal recordsLeases, signatures, notices, and payment records in Haven are append-only. Corrections reference the original; nothing is ever silently overwritten.
- Data, privacy, and GDPRWhat Haven collects, why, and the control you keep, built to EU data-protection standards.
