Renter's Electrical Safety Compliance & Landlord Communication Platform
The user is experiencing a serious electrical safety issue (electric shock) due to suspected poor grounding, and critically, their landlord is unresponsive. This highlights a significant niche: renters in properties with neglected safety maintenance, who lack the tools or leverage to effectively address these issues with landlords. A SaaS opportunity exists to empower these tenants.
Potential Product: A web and mobile application designed for renters to document, report, and manage electrical safety concerns in their rented properties. The app would guide users through identifying common electrical issues (like grounding problems, using basic tests if safe), allow them to upload photos/videos as evidence, and generate professional, regulation-compliant reports for their landlords. It could also include communication templates, tracking of communication history, and perhaps even integrate with local housing authorities or provide referrals to certified electricians for formal assessments. For landlords, a premium tier could offer a platform to manage property maintenance requests proactively and ensure compliance.
Expected Revenue:
- Freemium Model (B2C): Basic reporting and communication features free for tenants. Premium features like advanced diagnostics, legally-backed report templates, prioritized escalation paths, or direct electrician referrals would be subscription-based (e.g., $5-15/month).
- Referral Fees (B2B2C): Partnering with local certified electricians, inspection services, or legal aid to receive a fee for successful referrals.
- Landlord Subscription (B2B): A higher-tier subscription for landlords to proactively manage property safety, receive structured tenant reports, and demonstrate compliance (e.g., $20-100/property/month).
This platform addresses a critical safety and communication gap, offering value to both tenants seeking resolution and landlords seeking efficient compliance and tenant satisfaction.
