Three steps

From map search to move-in

No agent scripts. No “call for location.” Just a clear path designed for mobile-first renters across Uganda.

  1. 1

    Search the map

    Open RentFreely and move to the area you care about: Ntinda, Najjera, Kololo, or anywhere listings appear. Filter by monthly rent in UGX, rooms, apartments, or full houses.

    • Map pins
    • UGX filters
    • Photos upfront
  2. 2

    Review before you spend on transport

    See beds, baths, rent, and photos before you book a boda. Save places you like. After your welcome period, unlock full details and landlord contact when a home stands out.

  3. 3

    Connect and move in

    Call or WhatsApp the landlord directly, with no broker taking a cut. Landlords list once, set expectations clearly, and talk to tenants who already know the rent and location.

    • Direct contact
    • No agent fees
    • Honest listings

Why not Facebook groups?
