Our Story

A journey of simple, safe, and transparent Share Accommodation

The idea

Under the leadership of CEO Diego Hernayes, our mission is to make co-living simple, safe, and transparent through technology — easing the worries of guests seeking belonging and helping hosts confidently open their doors.

From vision to product

We built a network of furnished mid-term rooms for Share Accommodation, with clear pricing and a smoother check-in experience from day one.

Growing across major cities

Hosts and guests trust the process from day one while we expand across Australia's key hubs — Melbourne and Sydney.

Alliances that raise the bar

Flatmates verification and University Living partnership strengthen safety and reach for international students and young professionals.

Global recognition

Web Summit Rio 2025 marked a milestone for aurent, showcasing our vision for the future of co-living tech on an international stage.

What's next

We keep improving the co-living experience through technology and better operations — so it stays simple, safe, and flexible for everyone.

Our Mission

Building trust in co-living through technology, clarity, and community

aurent is not a landlord, not a property manager, and not a real estate agent. It's a platform — the infrastructure that makes mid-term share accommodation safe and reliable for both sides.

🏠

Simple

Make Share Accommodation simple and transparent through technology — clear pricing, standardised agreements, and digital processes from start to finish.

🛡️

Safe

Ease the worries of guests seeking belonging in a new city — Deposit Protection, traceable communication, and a guest support team that responds.

🤝

Fair

Help hosts confidently open their doors and build trust from day one — a reputation system that rewards good behaviour from both sides.
