Every semester, international students arrive in Rome and face a rental market full of scams, Italian-only contracts and landlords who never reply. BOOM is the English-first, anti-scam housing partner your office can recommend with confidence — free to partner, no exclusivity.
Fake listings, deposits wired abroad, keys that never arrive. Students new to Rome are the easiest targets — and your office hears about it after the money's gone.
Italian-only contracts, codice fiscale, utilities, deposits. It's overwhelming in a new country, in a new language, often before the student has even arrived.
They can't view apartments before flying in, landlords ghost them, and they end up signing something risky just to have a roof — or arriving with nowhere to live.
From the first message to the signed contract, everything happens in clear English. No Google-translating a lease at midnight.
Every apartment is video-checked by our team. No fake photos, no ghost landlords, no “send the deposit first” traps.
Live video viewings and a refundable hold let students lock a verified home from their home country — keys ready on arrival.
Proper registered contracts and deposits handled correctly — the protection a student renting alone abroad rarely gets.
Move-in in as little as 48 hours. Perfect for the semester rush when everyone needs housing at once.
A real person on WhatsApp whenever a student (or a worried parent) has a question. They're never left alone.
A real look at how BOOM runs a move end to end — every step handled in one place, in English.
