There’s a new player in the local on-demand housing sector, one toting an Airbnb-like business model that connects property owners with low-income tenants in need of a home.
PadSplit, an Atlanta-based company, added Central Virginia to its list of markets earlier this month. The company provides an online marketplace of housing options, mainly rooms for rent for users with an average annual income of $25,000.
