About SubKey
Subleasing built for Terps, by Terps.
SubKey is a subleasing and roommate-matching platform made exclusively for University of Maryland students. We started it because finding — or filling — a sublease at UMD meant scattered group chats, sketchy strangers, and zero accountability. We wanted something built for students, verified end to end.
Meet the founders
We're four UMD students who got tired of the subleasing scramble — the sketchy group chats, the last-minute no-shows, the trust gap — so we built the platform to fix this.

What SubKey is — and isn't
What we are
A discovery and matching tool for student subleases. We help you find the right place and the right people, and we handle the messaging. Everything after that you arrange directly with each other.
What we're not
We're not a landlord, broker, or party to your lease, and we don't handle money between users — we never collect, hold, or transfer rent or deposits. Any agreement made through SubKey is between the students involved, and a binding sublease still goes through your building or landlord's official process. We facilitate — we don't rent.
Built to be trusted
Verified students
Accounts are tied to a university email — you're dealing with real UMD students, not anonymous strangers.
You keep control
SubKey never collects, holds, or transfers rent or deposits — you arrange payment directly, on terms you set, with no fee to us.
Report anything off
Every listing and profile can be reported in a tap, and we review what comes in.
