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.

How it works

Step 1

Step 2

Match on compatibility

See a roommate-compatibility score based on cleanliness, sleep schedule, social level, and lifestyle — so you know before you move in.

Step 3

Message, sign & pay

Chat with the lister, agree on terms, e-sign the payment agreement, and pay rent securely — all in one place.

What SubKey is — and isn't

What we are

A discovery, matching, and coordination tool for student subleases. We help you find the right place and the right people, handle messaging, and make payments and signing simple and secure.

What we're not

We're not a landlord, broker, or party to your lease. 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.

Secure payments

Rent and deposits are processed through Stripe. We never store your card details.

Signed agreements

Payment terms are captured in an e-signed agreement, so everyone's on the same page.
