Moreover, systemic inequality in housing has created a wealth gap in America. We are addressing these issues by turning every renter into an owner with "Rentership". Every resident living at a property offering Rentership by Rhove is granted a stake in their building. Each stake entitles holders to cash distributions and a fractional stake in the sale value of the property. Residents can buy a larger stake in their property on their own terms. Renters that own a stake can buy more, hold and earn distributions, or sell anytime using the Rhove app. Expanding ownership in communities is more than an economic imperative. Ownership expands our sense of mutual accountability and social responsibility. For more information, visit our website or download the Rhove app from the Google Play or Apple App store.
