About Jonas Bordo

Who is Jonas?

Jonas is the CEO and co-founder of Dwellsy and the co-author of the book Everything You Need to Know About Renting But Didn't Know to Ask: All the Insider Dirt to Help You Get the Best Deal and Avoid Disaster.


Jonas has been around the rental business for many years.  He’s been a renter many, many times and has some crazy stories to tell, and he’s been a landlord too - both on a small scale and a huge scale - he was once responsible for 60,000 apartments.  

He’s taken that insider knowledge and put it to use to build Dwellsy, the nation’s preeminent marketplace for rental housing and to help renters get an edge and find a great place to live more quickly, more easily, and more safely.

About Dwellsy

Dwellsy is the renter’s marketplace, a comprehensive residential home rentals marketplace based on the radical concept that true, organic search in a free ecosystem creates more value than the pay-to-play model embraced by all of the current rental listing services. Dwellsy has more than 14 million residential rental listings, more than any legacy classifieds sites—as well as the most diverse set of listings—including single-family rentals, condos, and apartments. Dwellsy’s entirely different approach to residential rental listings focuses on presenting houses and apartments based on features renters need and want — not based on how much landlords pay to show their listings.
