Question 1

What is Pasaloo?

Accepted Answer

Pasaloo is a student-to-student housing handover marketplace. Students leaving a rental — a flat or a room — can publish a listing. Incoming students browse those listings and contact the owner directly to take it over.

Question 2

Who can use Pasaloo?

Accepted Answer

Anyone can browse the public site. To see full listings and contact owners, you need to sign up with a verified university email. We currently support a curated list of universities — if yours isn't listed, you can request access.

Question 3

What's the difference between public and verified access?

Accepted Answer

Public visitors see listing previews — title, approximate location, price, property type. Verified students see full details: description, photos, exact map location, and contact buttons.

Question 4

How does contact work?

Accepted Answer

Listings show a WhatsApp or email button (depending on the owner's preference). Clicking opens a pre-filled message. The owner is automatically notified that you contacted them, and your profile is shared with them as a lead.

Question 5

Does Pasaloo charge any fees?

Accepted Answer

No. Pasaloo is free for students. We don't take a cut of any rental. Donations from grateful users keep the site running.

Question 6

A founder note

Accepted Answer

Pasaloo was created by Luis Muñoz, incoming MBA student at IESE Business School (Class of 2028), after experiencing how difficult it can be for an international student to find housing.
