For people letting a home
Good people, good homes.
A forwarded chat is a thin way to trust someone with the flat. Renticulate is where you read the person first. The rent you listed is the rent, and a commission is not sitting on the first month.
Early access for people letting, across the towns we are opening.
What letting feels like now
The agent said they were easy. You had a name, a payslip, and a day to hand the place over. If they mark the walls and move to the next town, that story does not follow them. The commission is already gone.
Illustrative scenes, not real customers.
“The agent said they were easy. I met them on the day I handed over the keys. That was the whole reference.”
“They marked the walls and moved to Bedok. The next owner will never hear about it.”
“The group chat had forty messages and two people using the same photograph. I could not tell who was real.”
“By the time the commission was paid, the first month barely covered the instalment.”
How it works for you
People apply to you. You read a record, then you talk. You are not paying someone to stand in the doorway and still leave you guessing.
HDB flat, condo or landed. Your words, your house rules. People apply to you.
Reviews and checks sit on the profile, so you can see who you are about to give the keys to.
Past tenants can review you. You get a right of reply. Trust is not a one-way street.
Pick on character. The rent you listed is the rent. The agent’s commission is not sitting on the first month.
What you see
This is the shape of someone applying, and the profile tenants will read about you. The people are examples. The worry is not.
Example
Landlord
Owner · Queenstown and Tiong Bahru
Example rating 4.8 · from past tenants
“Replied the same evening the aircon died.”
“Clear about the inventory, and fair when we handed the keys back.”
Right of reply
“The water heater took ten days. That was hard with a baby in the flat.”
“Fair. The part was delayed. I now keep a plumber who can come the same week.”
Illustrative example. Not a real person or a real review.

Tenant
Nurse · Tampines
Example rating 4.9 · two tenancies
“Quiet, paid on the first of the month, and left the flat the way she found it.”
“The neighbour who brings the corridor shoes in when it rains.”
Illustrative example. Not a real person.

You are about to trust someone with the flat. They are trusting you with a deposit and a year of their life. Both of you should be able to see who the other has been.
Verification on both sides. Listings tied to a landlord you can read. A tenant you can check before you hand over keys — or a deposit. Fake listings and fake applicants get less room to work.
Tenants review landlords. Landlords review tenants. The point is a fair picture, not a pile-on.
A review is not the last word. Anyone reviewed can respond, in public, next to the original. One hard week does not have to be the whole story.
Consistently good behaviour shows up. Consistently poor behaviour does too, so it cannot simply be left behind in the next town. This is a verified track record with a right of reply — not a blacklist.
Around the home
A home is more than a lease. Renticulate includes the people around it — the trades that keep a flat liveable, and the neighbour who can help for an afternoon.
Aircon, plumbing, electrical, painting, pest control and cleaning, from people who already work in that town. This is Renticulate Trade, not a booking line.
Open TradeAn aircon that needs a service before the haze. A fridge that will not fit in the lift alone. Plants to water for a fortnight while you are away.
Example jobs, to show the idea. They are not live posts.
See trades by neighbourhoodThe aim is stronger, friendlier neighbourhoods, not just a signed lease.
Neighbourhoods
Early access covers HDB towns and private estates across the island. These are the neighbourhoods we are opening first.
Why character, not the higher offer
Taking more rent this month does not tell you who will look after the place, or who will still be there when the lease is up.
No one is invited to outbid the listing. You are not running an auction by accident.
How someone treated the last flat can be read on the next one, with a right of reply so one hard week is not the whole story.
Past tenants can review you. A careful landlord is easier to choose, and easier to stay with.
The aim is a tenancy that lasts, because both sides chose each other with their eyes open.
Early access
Leave your name if you are letting. We will write when you can list in that town. That is the only thing we will use it for.
Good people, good homes.
Renticulate is in Perth and in Singapore. Pick one. You can switch later from the top of the page. We don’t guess from your network.
