This is amazing. I really hope you do well and start making better people better while punishing bad people. I'm just wondering who are the landlords who will use this kind of app.

Thank you. So far, we targeted smaller, citizen landlords (few units) but a lot of sign-ups are medium sized (100 to 500 units) property management companies.

How do you define bad people? Should bad people have less access to housing?

Well, that's some interesting Terms of Service!

>9.) We don’t screen properties or listings or offer any guaranty or advice regarding the suitability of properties, landlords, or potential tenants. Nothing we say should be construed as such advice, and you agree not to rely on us in making decisions on anything at all.

Nice to see they'll stand behind their service. Filled with confidence right now.

> 11.) You must be at least 18 years old to use Zora and you must be a citizen of United States, Canada or European Union.

If I rent out a place through this website, are prospective tenants required to "use Zora" in order to apply? Does that mean that I am now discriminating against potential tenants based on citizenship? Which happens to be prohibited in various jurisdictions, for example NYC?
