About
Renting in Germany can work better.
Domily started from something we kept noticing: renting in Germany is harder than it needs to be. Not because people aren't trying, but because the experience is stitched together from tools that were never meant to work together.
The reality of renting in Germany
If you've rented an apartment in Germany, you know the shape of it. You search across several portals. You put together a document pack with proof of income, a self-disclosure form and a SCHUFA report, and then you send a near-identical application dozens of times. You wait. You coordinate viewings over email. And once you finally move in, an entirely different set of disconnected processes begins.
Landlords experience the same fragmentation from the other side: sorting through applications that arrive in every possible format, tracking conversations across inboxes, and managing a process that quietly eats into evenings and weekends. Property managers carry all of this at once, across many homes, holding the whole operation together largely by hand.
Fragmentation, not failure
None of this comes from a lack of effort. It comes from fragmentation. Each step in renting happens in a different place, with the same information re-entered at every handover. The tools involved are often perfectly good on their own. They were just never designed to connect into a single experience.
That's the gap Domily exists to close. Not by adding one more tool to the pile, but by treating renting as what it actually is: one connected lifecycle shared by tenants, landlords and property managers.
What we believe
We're not interested in renting mythology or grand claims. We're interested in whether the next person to rent an apartment has a calmer, clearer experience than the last one, and whether the people who run rentals can do so with less friction and more independence.
What we believe
A few practical convictions.
Renting is one experience
Finding a home, applying, communicating, moving in and managing a tenancy aren't separate problems. They're one continuous experience that today is split across unrelated tools.
The information already exists
Almost everything needed to rent well is created early and then re-entered over and over. Connecting that information removes most of the friction on its own.
Good operations are quiet
The best renting experience is the one you barely notice, where the next step is ready before you have to ask for it.
Independence matters
Modern technology should make independent landlords and property managers stronger, not dependent. Better tools shouldn't cost you your autonomy.
Domily is building a modern renting experience for tenants, landlords, and property managers in Germany. Domily.app and Domily.ai are simply two parts of that larger mission.
