RentSafe is an Ireland-focused rental listing verification tool. The current prototype provides:

• a FastAPI backend with live verification checkers and a rule-based orchestrator
• a Next.js frontend with a listing submission flow
• a scope coverage signal that explains which checks applied to the submitted listing type
• a student rent floor signal for verified per-bed Limerick SSA price checks

• backend: FastAPI API, live checkers, tests
• frontend: Next.js UI and typed API client
• docs/architecture.md: sprint architecture notes
• rentsafe_project_instructions.md: full product brief

cd C:\Projects\rentsafe\backend

The API will run at http://localhost:8000.

The UI will run at http://localhost:3000.

The current prototype has live modules for listing parsing, schema-based type classification, PSRA matching, CSO rent comparison, student rent floor comparison for Limerick SSA listings, SSA registration-number verification, RTB tenancy-register checking, rules-based text analysis, and local perceptual-hash image checking. Each checker returns both a risk signal and an applicability value, and reports include a scope_coverage block explaining which checks applied, partially applied, or did not apply to the detected listing type. The current image flow is free/local-first and can be upgraded later to a web-wide service like TinEye.
