This is a rental housing project in Kenya # NyumbaLink NyumbaLink is a mobile-first rental housing platform designed to connect tenants in Kenya with landlords who are posting available housing options. The goal is to make the rental search process easier, more transparent, and more trustworthy by giving tenants a simple way to browse listings and giving landlords a clean platform to manage their properties. ## Project Overview Finding rental housing in Kenya can be difficult because listings are often scattered across WhatsApp groups, Facebook pages, agents, posters, and informal networks. NyumbaLink aims to centralize this process by allowing landlords to post available properties and tenants to search for housing based on location, rent, and property details. The project is currently in early development. We are starting with core authentication and property listing features before adding advanced functionality such as image uploads, landlord verification, admin approval, favorites, inquiries, and search filters. ## Core Features ### Tenant Features - Create an account and log in - Browse available rental listings - View property details - Search and filter housing options - Save favorite listings - Contact landlords about available properties ### Landlord Features - Create an account and log in - Add property listings - Edit and manage listings - View tenant interest and inquiries - Track listed properties from a landlord dashboard ### Admin Features - Review new property listings - Approve or reject suspicious listings - Manage users and listings - Help maintain trust and safety on the platform ## Tech Stack ### Backend - FastAPI - PostgreSQL - SQLAlchemy - JWT authentication - Pydantic - Uvicorn ### Mobile Frontend - React Native - Expo
