This service makes it easier for immigrants to find accommodation if another person, especially if they are from here and fluent in the language, is brought into contact with the owner. They are also more at easy renting a place knowing the rules of the community of neighbours.

Most owners prefer to rent through Rasinet, since it is easier to meet the people who will rent the house and we can mediate in any problems that may arise.

This project's main problem is that the payment of rent is linked to the tenant’s work. If they lose their job, the landlord may not charge rent for a time and that’s when the problems begin, especially for those families who have children and thus find it harder to move.

Assessment is continuous and active as it is based on the demands of the users.  It continually adapts to the changing social needs, linked mainly to labour changes and changes in housing.
