We work on a per-unit basis. If we are able to successfully provide you a qualified tenant who signs a lease, we will charge 1 month's rent for the placement service. 

Additionally, we offer a range of services for property and tenant management throughout the year. Please reach out for more information. 

When are tenants expected to need housing?

In Miami, we connect highly qualified candidates to professional landlords. Our services include: 

  • Processing the application 

  • Ordering and delivering a background check 

  • Following up with references

  • Creating a tenant profile 

Do I have to be in TFA to rent with you?

No! We welcome any and all renters. Happi Rent is an Equal Housing Opportunity service. It is our mission to help all renters find quality, affordable housing where they will be Happi. Our promotions for Teach for America are our ways of giving back to an organization of teachers aligned with our mission. 

It varies. Some teachers will be coming early and will need housing as early as May, while others will delay finding long-term housing and will be looking to rent in August. Generally speaking, we are placing teachers throughout the summer. 

Nothing! If you use our service, there is no cost to you as a renter. In fact, you can make money through our referral program. Your only requirement to use our services is to sign an agency agreement, agreeing to exclusively use our services.
