Terms and Conditions
Listers
These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) apply to all users who list properties for auction on ApartmentDibs (“Lister,” “you,” or “your”). By creating a listing, you agree to the following:
1. Eligibility
You represent that you are the property owner, authorized manager, or authorized broker and that you have the legal right to lease the property you are listing.
2. Auctions and Bidder Selection
You set your own listing details, including qualification criteria for Bidders.
Only verified Bidders who meet your stated criteria will be allowed to participate.
If a Bidder wins your auction and meets your criteria, including reserve bid amount, you agree to rent to that Bidder in good faith.
3. Failure to Honor Winning Bids
If you choose not to rent to the winning Bidder despite them meeting your stated criteria, unless you are unable to proceed due to extenuating circumstances outside your reasonable control (such as property damage, legal restrictions, or material misrepresentation by the Bidder), ApartmentDibs reserves the right to:
Charge you a fee in the amount of 15% of one month’s rent as dictated by the winning bid.
Suspend or permanently ban you from the platform.
4. Fees and Payments
ApartmentDibs may charge service fees for listings, transactions, or penalties as outlined during the listing process.
5. Platform Integrity
You agree not to circumvent the platform, manipulate auctions, or misrepresent property details.
6. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your account at any time if you violate these Terms or harm the integrity of the marketplace.
7. Limitation of Liability
ApartmentDibs provides the platform “as is” and is not responsible for disputes between Listers and Bidders beyond enforcing these Terms.
