Overview:

The Online House Rental Platform is a web-based application that facilitates the seamless search, listing, booking, and management of rental properties. It acts as an intermediary between property owners (landlords) and tenants (renters), allowing users to browse available homes, schedule visits, sign digital rental agreements, and manage rent payments—all in one place.

This project can be scaled to local communities or extended into a fully functional real-estate rental product.
