Question 1

Who can sign up on The Openers platform?

Accepted Answer

Owners, individuals, professionals, institutions — and tenants too.

With The Openers, an Opener can make their Property available through one of two modes:

Smart-Louage mode (monetized use). If the Opener is a tenant, they must get their landlord's agreement.

Smart-Commodat mode (free use). If the Opener is a tenant, they are not subletting for financial profit — they are offering their property for free to members of their network, who contribute to the various running costs (water, heating, etc.). In this case, they do not need to obtain the landlord's agreement. In return, this free use increases their own chances of being invited in turn.

Question 2

What kinds of Property can be listed on The Openers platform?

Accepted Answer

The Openers can accommodate different types of properties and spaces when you are entitled to offer them: primary or secondary homes, offices, cellars, attics, gyms, land, municipal or commercial premises, parking spaces, storage areas, and more. Listing a property type here does not determine which uses are permitted for that property.

When you add a property to the network, the service may request information about your identity and the property, as well as declarations and supporting documents related to its use. What other users can see depends on the service settings; some details, such as the exact address or calendar, may remain confidential under those settings.

Supporting documents you submit are kept confidential in protected storage. They are not sold or made accessible to other users. Access is limited to authorized personnel and service providers for necessary verification and compliance obligations, in accordance with our privacy policy.

Before listing a space, check with your insurer which coverage applies to its intended use. Accessibility and safety conditions may vary by property and use.

Question 3

My home is modest — can I still be an Opener?

Accepted Answer

The network isn't looking for luxury, it's looking for usefulness. A small studio well located near a train station can sometimes have far more usage potential than an isolated villa. There will always be a member whose need matches what you offer.

Question 4

Can I preserve my privacy while still making my Property available on The Openers?

Accepted Answer

The Openers provides visibility and calendar settings so you can choose what you share and when. These settings describe visibility configured in the service; they do not guarantee the safety of an encounter or another member’s reliability. Profile details, mutual connections and past experiences may help you assess a request when available. You can freely accept or decline each request without having to justify your decision.

You choose your profile’s visibility:
• Private mode: your Properties are not visible to other members.
• Private network: your profile and Properties are visible to members of your network according to the service settings.
• Extended network: your profile and Properties may be visible to members of your extended network according to the service settings.
• Public: your profile and Properties may be publicly visible according to the information and settings in the service.

You can manage your Property’s availability in the calendar:
• Private mode: the Property is reserved for your use and is not offered to the network.
• Smart-Louage mode (monetized use): the Property may be offered at a price set by the Opener, subject to the service options and applicable rules.
• Smart-Commodat mode (free use): the Property may be offered without rent; applicable fees are shown before a request is submitted. Activity may contribute to HomeScore under the displayed rules.

Question 5

Are the contracts offered by The Openers safe?

Accepted Answer

By making your Property available on The Openers, you enter a trust-based ecosystem.

In our infrastructure, every home has a “Digital Twin,” with an inventory of its furniture and, above all, its real-time access rights.

Every digital home is protected by an automated legal framework. Each time a member wants to access a property, a smart-contract is generated and digitally signed. The smart-contract protects the owner and the occupant at the same time.
