How Mastande works
Simple for landlords.
Simple for tenants.
No estate agents, no application fees. Rooms posted directly by the people letting them.
For tenants
01
Browse rooms
Search by city, suburb, price and room type. Filter for bills included, SASSA accepted, couples or pets welcome.
02
Set an alert
Rooms are often taken within days. Save your search and we'll email you the moment a matching room is listed.
03
Apply free
A short cover note is all it takes. No CV, no application fee — free to apply, always.
04
Talk directly
Message the landlord on Mastande, arrange a viewing, and agree a move-in date between you.
For landlords
01
List your room free
Add photos, set your rent in Rand, and describe the house and who would suit it. Takes a few minutes. No listing fee.
02
Get verified
A once-off check puts a verified badge on your listings. Tenants are wary of scams, and it is the clearest signal you are real.
03
Shortlist and choose
Review applicants, shortlist the ones you like, arrange viewings, and accept the right tenant. Everyone else is told politely.
04
Relist in one click
When a tenant moves on, relist the same room instantly. Photos and details are kept; the old applications are closed out cleanly.
