Unlock a New Era in Subleasing: Jeani

Chop Dawg reimagined serial entrepreneur Alex Harden’s vision into an integrated platform that seamlessly toggles between advertising available subleases and searching for the perfect property. With an intuitive interface designed for both tenants and landlords, Jeani centralizes property listings, tenant validation, and secure communication—redefining how subleases are discovered and managed.

Redefining Subleasing: Introducing Jeani

Jeani is a groundbreaking platform created to resolve the chaos of the subleasing market. Designed as both a naive iPhone and Android application, as well as a responsive web application accessible on any modern browser, Jeani offers a unified solution for tenants seeking affordable housing options and landlords needing reliable sublease management. By integrating features such as toggling between advertising and search modes, secure in‑app messaging, and comprehensive contract handling, Jeani reimagines subleasing for the modern era—delivering transparency, efficiency, and trust for every user.

Bridging a Fragmented Market: Jeani’s Challenge

The Centralized Marketplace for Affordable Subleases

Today’s subleasing process is disjointed and inefficient. Prospective tenants often scour multiple platforms while landlords struggle to track and validate subleases. With rising rents and inflexible lease contracts, the need for a centralized, user‑friendly solution is more urgent than ever. Jeani was conceived to tackle these challenges by providing a safe, organized platform that brings together listings, user validation, and streamlined communication—all in one place.

From Vision to Prototype: A Collaborative Journey with Jeani

Working closely with Alex Harden and his team, Chop Dawg embarked on a collaborative design process that captured every nuance of Jeani’s vision. We began by translating market insights into detailed wireframes that mapped every functionality—from the unique toggle between advertising and search modes to secure messaging features. Weekly Zoom sessions and continuous Slack communication allowed us to refine our ideas into high‑fidelity designs and comprehensive product flows, culminating in a clickable prototype in Figma. This iterative process ensured that the final design not only meets current market needs but also lays a robust foundation for future development.

Delivering Next‑Generation Subleasing Solutions

Jeani centralizes subleasing with powerful features that empower users to effortlessly manage and discover opportunities:

Toggle Between Advertising & Searching

Jeani enables users to seamlessly switch between posting subleases and searching for available listings—similar to toggling between hosting and traveling on Airbnb. This intuitive control simplifies the user journey and drives engagement.

Secure Tenant Validation & Messaging

Integrated identity verification ensures every prospective tenant is automatically validated. Paired with secure, in‑app messaging, this feature builds trust and streamlines communication between tenants and landlords.

Advanced Search & Favoriting Capabilities

Users can filter listings by location, price, amenities, and more. The ability to save and aggregate favorite listings empowers tenants to quickly revisit the properties they love while providing landlords with actionable insights into user preferences.

Community Engagement

Jeani includes a vibrant community element that encourages user interaction, feedback, and support. This feature transforms subleasing from a mere transaction into a collaborative marketplace experience, fostering long‑term trust and connection.

Empowering Users with Actionable Data & Global Growth Potential

Beyond Listings—Jeani Delivers Deep Insights and Future‑Ready Scalability:

Comprehensive Analytics Dashboard

Both tenants and landlords benefit from real‑time data on listing views, transaction trends, and engagement metrics. These insights help users make informed decisions and optimize their subleasing strategies.

Scalable for Global Expansion

Initially built for US‑based transactions, Jeani’s architecture is designed to scale internationally. Future updates will incorporate enhanced ID verification, multi‑currency support, and localized payment processing to ensure Jeani remains relevant in global markets.

Benchmarking Industry Leaders

During the early phases, we scheduled in‑depth reviews of platforms such as Appfolio, Hemlane, Yardi, Airbnb, Zillow, Roomster, and Student.com. This research ensures that Jeani’s marketplace and property management features are built on best‑in‑class practices.
