The manifesto

Six things we will not compromise on, before we even ship.

We are building VivaMyRent because the current options bored us into action. This is what the platform will and will not do, the way we will and will not behave, written down so we can be held to it.

01

Grounded trust over flash.

Most AI products in 2026 want you to be impressed. We want you to be correct. When the assistant tells you a rent can be indexed, it shows you which lease said so, which article of the regional code applies, and which month of the health index it used to compute the new amount. When it cannot show you a source, it tells you so.

This is the wedge. Smovin, Rentio, and Bailfacile give you another property dashboard. We give you an answer that traces back to your own document and the law that applies to it. The interface earns trust by showing its sources, not by hiding them behind a confident tone.

An answer either traces back to your own document and a dated legal source, or it tells you it does not know. There is no third option.

02

Confirm, never assume.

Document extraction is fast and frequently wrong on the last ten percent. AI suggestions are fast and frequently wrong on the last five. So nothing legal, nothing financial, and nothing that leaves your account is persisted without you confirming it.

Review-before-save is a first-class moment in the product. It is not a friction dialog you click through. It is the place where the math is shown, the source is cited, the language of the letter is set, and you press the button or you do not. The system proposes; you decide.

03

Calm under a heavy domain.

Belgian rental law is intimidating on a good day. Money, deadlines, deposits, liability, your tenant's life. The product's job is to lower anxiety, not to manufacture it.

One clear next action per moment. No false urgency, no badges that pulse to remind you of a feature, no notification you do not need. The alarm-red state is reserved for things that are genuinely wrong or overdue. The rest of the time, the surface is calm. We design to be reassuring, not exciting.

04

Warmth as commitment. Never childish, never cold.

The teal carries the confidence. The coral carries the warmth. Both are deliberate. The product is neither a cartoon nor a bureaucracy. There are no mascots, no friendly robots, no sparkles labelled “AI.” And there is no gray, no walls of form fields, no tone that treats you like you should already know what a précompte immobilier is.

Approachability comes from the words we choose and the way the page breathes, not from illustrations of cheerful keys.

05

Brand and product, deliberately distinct.

The mark you see on this page (teal frame, coral peak, the broken-arrow trace echoing the V) is the brand surface. The cockpit you log into is the product surface. They are cousins, not twins.

Brand surfaces have permission to be expressive: drenched colour, oversized type, identity-led moments. Product surfaces stay restrained: paper-tinted neutrals, coral reserved for the single primary action, teal-deep limited to chrome. The data must not shout.

06

Bilingual and regional, by construction.

Dutch and French are not a translation layer. They are how the product is built from the first line. Every document template, every legal answer, every email to your tenant is in the language of the lease. German lands when we open the East Cantons of Wallonia.

The three regions, Flanders, Wallonia, Brussels, are also not a footnote. Indexation, energy rating, lease duration, deposit, eviction; all three diverge on the questions you actually have. The assistant tags every answer with the region it applies to, because the same question has three different right answers.

If we are not correct in your region and your language, we are not correct at all.

Now you know what we will not move on.

If this matches the platform you wish existed, get on the list.

We are opening Brussels and Flanders first, then Wallonia. Bilingual NL and FR from day one. German with the East Cantons.
