About DigsConnect
DigsConnect is a platform for off-campus student accommodation. We pair up registered students looking for a place to stay with homeowners in Cape Town that are looking to rent out their properties on a long term basis. Our main priority is safety and security for our community, so we make every effort to personally verify our users so that we can create a safe place for students to find and book their off campus student accommodation. We use technology to help the landlord seamlessly find and manage student tenants in their properties.
