How it works

One group. One search. One leasing experience.

Cohort replaces the scattered group chat, spreadsheet, and apartment-tab routine with one shared plan your whole group can move through together.
  1. 01

    Build your Cohort

    Start a group and invite roommates with a single link — or join solo and we’ll help you find a group.

    • One invite link for the whole group
    • Solo? Join and tell us how many roommates you need
    • No accounts or app downloads
  2. 02

    Set shared preferences

    Agree on budget, bedrooms, neighborhoods, move-in, and must-haves once, as a group.

    • Per-person budget and bedroom count
    • Move-in timing and neighborhoods
    • Parking, pets, furnished, amenities

    Discover places that fit

    See options that work for the whole group, not just one person’s search filters.

    • Places filtered around the whole group
    • Clear per-person and total cost estimates
    • Placeholders are always clearly labeled

    Tour and lease together

    Coordinate tours, compare lease terms, and move toward signing on the same timeline.

    • Tour coordination with property teams
    • Plain-language lease comparisons
    • Guarantor and deposit checklists

FAQ

Common questions

Who do I sign the lease with?
Always directly with the property owner or manager. Cohort helps your group get there together, but the lease is between you and the property.
Do all my roommates need to fill out the form?
Ideally, yes. Each person adds their own budget and preferences using your group’s invite link, so the search reflects everyone.
Where is Cohort available?
Cohort is launching first at the University of Utah. Other university markets are on our roadmap — join the waitlist to tell us where you are.

Start with the group.

It takes about two minutes, and your roommates can join with one link.
