We’re a people-first rental platform helping renters and partner properties find the right fit—fast.
Awayish started with a simple idea: renting should feel clear, not chaotic. We bring partner listings together, guide renters through one application, and help properties receive decision-ready context at the right moment.

We get it — renting can feel like guesswork. Awayish changes that. You apply once, we match you to partner listings that fit your budget and needs, and you choose which properties to share your MatchPass™ with. Less back-and-forth. More clarity. Faster decisions.

Founder, Awayish
Awayish is a rentals-first platform built to remove the guesswork from renting. We bring Twin Cities partner listings into one place so renters can browse real options, then apply once through Awayish to confirm fit and create a stronger application profile.
After you apply, your portal experience becomes tailored—showing you the partner units you qualify for and that match what you’re looking for. When you’re ready, you choose which properties to “Match” with; your MatchPass™ summary is shared directly with those partner properties so they can review faster, ask fewer basic questions, and move you toward a decision sooner.

Awayish begins as “try-before-you-sign”
Awayish started with a simple idea: let renters experience a community before committing. We launched with curated short-term stays designed around specific buildings so people could “live it” before leasing.

Real-world patterns emerged fast
Hosting guests from across the country (and beyond) revealed the same issues over and over: unclear requirements, scattered information, and too much back-and-forth. We began documenting what actually drives confident leasing decisions.

Building the framework behind the scenes
We refined a repeatable intake process and decision criteria that mirrored how strong property teams evaluate applicants—consistent, fair, and easy to review.

The pivot plan took shape
By this point, it was clear the biggest need wasn’t more listings—it was clarity. We started designing the long-term version of Awayish: one application, structured context, and better matching.

Shifted fully to long-term rentals
We closed the short-term chapter and focused on what renters and properties needed most: clarity and fit upfront. Awayish evolved into a long-term leasing experience where renters apply once and share a rental "MatchPass" summary only with properties they choose—making decisions faster and communication cleaner.

Scaling a clearer way to lease
We’re expanding the number of properties and improving the matching engine so renters spend less time guessing and more time touring the right fits. The goal stays the same: fewer wasted showings, better-qualified interest, and a smoother path from “available” to move-in—without sacrificing privacy or control.
