UK startup Proportunity could help Gen Rent get on the housing ladder, by finding the right house using a machine-learning algorithm that predicts the rise of property value, supports them in getting the money arranged for a downpayment, as well as help applying for mortgages.

For cash-strapped Gen Yers – 67% of whom have either less than $1,000 in savings or none at all – gathering together enough money for a security deposit is a huge burden when it comes to renting. Rhino is a US-based startup hoping to make renting easier for both landlords and tenants.

Young Americans are moving home now more than ever. And while they have a growing interest in decor, house-hopping is leading many to buy cheap, disposable furniture. Affordable and sustainable furniture-subscription company Feather is providing renters with value and Insta-credentials.

Financial difficulties have led many Gen Yers to forgo home-ownership, marriage, and kids for the time being – but that doesn’t mean they’re without a rich family life. Instead of following traditional life paths, they’re embracing plants, pets, and friends to feel a sense of domestic fulfillment.
