Renting in Northern Ireland, direct between tenant and landlord.
Roost gives renters a self-certified Tenant Passport and gives self-managing landlords everything a tenancy needs — listings, applications, leases, deposits, rent and repairs — with Northern Ireland's rules built in. You're here early: your job is to break it and tell us where it hurts.

Landlords: list and let

What we'd most like you to test
Passport & screening
Does uploading documents and sharing them with a landlord feel safe and clear?
Lease & deposit
Issue, sign, counter-sign, then protect the deposit inside the 28-day window.
Living in it
Rent ledger, inventory, Fair Fuel readings, repairs and ending a tenancy.
Ground rules for the beta
- Use test data. Don't upload a real passport, payslip or anyone else's personal details.
- Nothing is charged. Pricing is shown for feedback only — payments are switched off.
- Roost assists, it never decides. Documents are self-certified by the tenant; Roost does not run background checks or approve anyone on a landlord's behalf.
- Tell us everything. Use the Feedback button in the bottom corner of every signed-in page.
Feedback goes straight to the team — a one-line note is genuinely useful.
