HOW TO USE THE APPLICATION?

5.1 Creating an account…

• The *signup/login page* is an option from the homepage and shows options to both log in and sign up. Logging in should be self-explanatory
• The process of signing up is the same for owners and potential tenants. Since owners and tenants need to add different information to the app, that extra information will be asked when: A/ Owner wants to list an ad for a property B/ Potential tenant wants to submit an offer for a property.
• signing up requires the user to fill in their information. This includes all basic details.
• An account created at Koloxo Home is fully integrated with koloxo.com and its database.

5.2 Reputation profile Before a registered user wishes to submit an offer for a property, they must add data to their reputation profile. This includes multiple options that the user can use to boost their reputation. They can upload documents (e.g. bank statements, income statements, monthly earnings, etc.) They also have a section to add previous properties that they have rented or bought, which displays the type of property rented/bought, the area of the property, the price, and the phone number of the owner/landlord. This is for the use of the owners to review this profile.

5.3 Making a search

• Being a tenant wanting to find a place to buy or rent or Being an owner wanting to find a tenant to rent or sell, you do not need to sign in yet.
• As a tenant looking for a place, you choose the search option within the UI *homepage* and the search process begins. You’re navigated to a new page and faced with two options: to buy or rent.
• Choosing either takes you to their respective databases and their search, which consists of all filters which the user can use. The search filters are selected by tapping on several categories and seeing their subcategories, for which they can use to filter their search. User will always be asked the intended date for which they want to move in.
• Upon finishing their search, they are shown an interactive map that displays all the properties that are available, somewhat available, and unavailable.
• Users are also given the option to change or refine their search.
• Users always have the option to navigate back.
• Users have the option to save their search. This saves all the parameters or filters that they had placed for that search, and allows users to repeat that search at another time to view updated listings. There’s no need to be logged in for this feature.

5.4 – Available, Somewhat Available, Unavailable

• Available properties are available from the date specified by the user.
  Somewhat available properties are available around the date specified by the user.
• Unavailable properties are properties that will be available far from the date specified by the user.
• Available: shown in green lights
  Somewhat available: shown in yellow lights
  Unavailable: shown in red lights There will be a legend to indicate what the different color lights mean.

5.5 Picking a property Once the user chooses a property from the map by clicking on a light, they enter the page of the property, which shows all specifications of that property, which are mentioned in the diagram. These specifications are shown in a list format as categories that can be opened to show their details within. Now, the user can choose to view any of the information besides two important points which they cannot see unless they’re logged in. These two points are the title deed of the property and the owner’s profile. These points are still possible to click on, but when clicked, user will be asked to log in or sign up. User can also mark a property as favorite, which will save that property for the user to view later, and this saved link will be in the *My favorites* page within the *My profile* page. Shown in the diagram.
5.6 Buying/renting a chosen property

• The user has now picked a property and has decided to move forward with it. There will be a big visible button at the middle/top of the screen that says either buy or rent depending on whether the property is placed for rent or sale.
• Once the user clicks on this button, they will be prompted to *login or signup* if they have not done that yet.
• When fully logged in, the user is brought back to the *property page* that they were in from before and will confirm their decision by tapping on a button to push a notification to the owner to submit their offer. The owner receives this notification and enters the app and in their *notification page*, they can view their offers and review the potential tenant by looking at their profile, which they will be linked to by the app.
• Once the owner reviews and accepts this possible tenant, the process will be continued through a private chat room between the owner and the potential tenant.

5.7 – Private chat with the owner

• After the potential tenant has submitted an offer for the property, the owner will be notified via App notification and must review and accept the potential tenant by viewing their *profile* and accepting that they’re ok to discuss further by flicking a switch or tapping a button. If the owner has required seeing a reputation profile, the tenant must have that profile filled with the minimum information for the owner to see. If tenant doesn’t have this, they cannot proceed to submit an offer and will be notified to fill this profile in first.
• Once the owner accepts, a notification sent by the app to the potential tenant that they have been matched and can begin a chat with the owner.
• Here, the two may discuss over price, date, and other specifications. However, the chat window that opens has some aspects highlighted at the top of the chat screen, which will always be visible. This shouldn’t take up too much space, but will indicate some points that have already been agreed by the parties. These points include the property title (location, # of bedrooms), price, and dates to live.
• If the owner wishes to include a current tenant in the chat, he/she has the option to add them to the chat by *looking up their profile* or sending an invitation email if the current tenant has not signed up yet. This is visible in a *chat settings* window. The potential tenant has no capability to add anyone to the chat. The owner can add only one other person to the chat.
• Once an agreement has been reached, both parties (only owner and tenant) within the *chat settings* window must formalize and make official the agreement. When doing this formalization, the app will ask some questions regarding the nature of the agreement (names, dates, etc.) that will be necessary later when generating a contract.

5.8 Making the deposit

• Once the agreement has been formalized in the *chat settings* page, that chat in the tenant’s *my matches* page will be changed to a different look: The tenant’s view:

5.9 Contract Once the deposit has been made, a contract is generated based on the information given by both parties. This contract will be emailed to both parties’ emails as a pdf document. At any point, should any ‘registered user’ have any legal questions, they may start a new chat with the Koloxo Home legal department of the country they are in.
5.10 Final steps – rating After finalizing the agreement and the tenant is planning to move in by paying the deposit, the owner and the tenant are both asked to review their experience with each other by giving a rating out of 5 stars. A link will be sent to the parties’ emails to the app, this takes them to the *my matches* page to complete their review. This happens after the initial deposits was paid and after the tenant has completed his/her stay at the property. If no deal went through, the app will know this if the tenant and owner haven’t chatted with each other for a certain period of time or if the intended move in date for the tenant has passed. After this point of acknowledgment, the app will ask both parties to rate their experience. If a deal has gone through, the app will automatically build the tenant’s reputation profile by adding an item to their list of properties rented/bought. This piece of information includes the type of property rented/bought, the area of the property, the price, and the phone number of the owner.
5.11 Adding a property

• An owner/landlord can publish an ad on the app for a property by choosing in the homepage: I’m looking for a tenant.
• The owner will be prompted to answer whether the property is for rent or sale.
  They enter the form page to fill in all mandatory data first. In the diagram, these are the red lines.
• Once filled in the necessary details, the will be shown other specifications that they can add. The owner will be told that the more information they put, the better their chance is when a potential tenant is searching for a property.
• The owner’s work (filling in data) is auto-saved and can be completed at a later time in the *my ads* page within the *my profile* page. This will be indicated somewhere on the screen.

5.12 – Title Deed One of the required details for an owner placing an ad is to upload the title deed of the property. This title deed is only visible to registered users you have submitted an offer for the property and it has been accepted. A potential tenant can however see that a title deed IS uploaded and IS verified before submitting an offer. This means, a title deed that an owner uploads must be reviewed by the KoloxoHome legal department. This requires a separate application that provides this document to our lawyers, allows them to mark them verified, and keeps records of these verifications. Once verified, the verification should be reflected on the app for potential tenants that are viewing that property.
5.13 Publishing ad Once the owner has completed filling in the mandatory information and all other information, the ad will go live in the app’s database and will be available for search. The owner will not be required to wait for their title deed to be verified by the Koloxo Home legal department. This ad and all other ads that an owner publishes will be available for viewing at the *My ads* page within the *My profile* page, accessible from the homepage.
