Early visibility into off-campus housing risk for universities
HomeZen finds the housing problems universities don't see, the ones that quietly erode wellbeing, disengage students academically, and lead to avoidable withdrawal.
Problems identified by universities and students
Students
“I didn't know my landlord could enter without notice. I had no idea what my rights were or how to document it.”
Student
“The heating broke in December and I had no idea what to do or who to contact. I felt completely lost.”
Student
“As an international student, I was completely lost with UK renting. The contract was in legal language I couldn't understand.”
International Student
Universities
“We're seeing housing issues we never knew existed. Problems that affect student wellbeing long before they become formal complaints.”
Wellbeing Advisor
“We have no visibility into local housing conditions or the types of issues students are dealing with off-campus.”
Student Support Manager
“By the time housing issues reach us, they've often already affected academic performance or led to withdrawal.”

How HomeZen works
Students get support when problems start
Students access HomeZen for free, upload their contract, and get clear guidance on renting issues in their own words.
Issues are captured properly, as they happen
Problems, conversations, dates, and evidence are logged clearly, so nothing gets missed or forgotten.
Information is anonymised by default
Individual details are removed and issues are grouped into patterns, protecting student privacy.
Universities see what's emerging
Institutions gain early visibility into housing issues affecting wellbeing and engagement, before they escalate into formal complaints, safeguarding cases, or withdrawal.
