💡 SaaS Idea: Roommate Reputation & Conflict Resolution Platform

Web/hybrid app where tenants can rate, review and verify roommates (identity + previous addresses), document shared living agreements, track bills/chores, and mediate disputes. Provides landlord-viewable profiles and integrates with Splitwise-like expense tracking.

Platform: web, mobile

Why it's a good idea?

Problem signals:

  • r/badroommates has ≈380 000 subscribers and dozens of new posts daily – evidence that many tenants suffer from roommate conflicts and actively seek advice/vent (Web-search result from reddstats.com).
  • Similar subs r/Roommates (260 k) and r/RoomieStories (70 k) also active → community pain is real.

Keyword demand (tools):

  1. “roommate agreement template” – 3 600 monthly searches, difficulty 8 (very easy) – shows people already seek written agreements.
  2. “roommate background check” – 210 searches, difficulty 4, CPC $11 – smaller volume but buyers’ intent (they’re willing to pay for info/verification).
  3. “splitwise” – 49 500 searches, difficulty 27 – proves big interest in roommate expense tracking.
  4. “roommate finder / roommate app” – 2 400–33 100 searches but high difficulty (52–96) – crowded market yet demand validated.
  5. “rate my roommate / roommate reviews” – 110 searches, difficulty 2 – niche but confirms terminology exists.

Forums/questions:

  • Multiple Reddit threads ask “Is there a way to rate roommates like RateMyProfessor?” “Any site to review a bad roommate?” “Best roommate dispute-resolution app?” (manual scan of r/AskReddit & r/roommates).
