Mission
As a professional Equity Actor, I recognized the desperate need for a quality subletting resource for the performing arts community. ActorSublet.com will offer a direct connection to either permanent or temporary housing opportunities for the transient artist. Performing artists sublet on a frequent basis, and the needs of their leases can vary from a few weeks, to a few months or even longer. Online services such as Sublet.com and Craigslist don’t often cater to this very unique situation nor do brokers and landlords who usually are looking for long-term tenants and a huge commission. Until now, performers were limited to their friends or these unreliable services for help with their unique subletting situation. Not any more! ActorSublet.com will extend beyond these resources and bring an entire community of performing artists together, allowing them to directly connect to each other for their subletting needs.
Why ActorSublet.com
No other subletting service exists that caters to this specific market of individuals. When artists are looking for a place to live, they want to feel secure. Who better to sublet from than a fellow artist - someone who is like-minded in your needs and understands the business that you are in. This service not only offers the performing artist a resource for subletting, but a sense of trust and camaraderie that cannot be found in a generic competitor. Similar services fall short of the needs of the performing artist. Sublet.com is an international website that caters to a wealthier and more general public. Their clients are looking for a long-term lease, generally one year or longer and many have broker fees. The cost for their service is very expensive and not desirable to the performing arts community that financially falls into a less affluent demographic. Craigslist is not a stand-alone sublet business, but instead offers subletting as a category on an extremely large online bulletin board. Major negatives to this are a large volume of undesirable prospects, scam artists and real estate brokers, not the community that understands an artist and their needs. Craigslist is free to use, but offers minimal security and clients must reluctantly re-post their listing on a frequent basis. ActorSublet.com will be the go-to subletting resource for performing artists, offering them an online community of artistic professionals who understand their unique housing needs.
How this service works
For a small fee, a member posts their available sublet for a period of up to 30 days. This posting allows others to view a comprehensive array of information about the sublet. All this information can be uploaded instantaneously onto the site 24 hours a day 7 days a week, allowing the ultimate in convenience and maximum exposure for a performer who needs to rent their sublet quickly. Members can also conveniently search for free, through hundreds of possible sublet options. If they wish to contact a specific posting, there is a small 30-day access fee.
