How it works
The machinery,
in full.
The Overview covers why ULHP exists. This page is how it operates — the lease we sign, the price of a room, the maths that holds the $75 tier flat, and the ledger you can slide yourself.
The four moves
From landlord to resident, end to end.
The four tiers
Tiers are people, not places.
A tier describes a group of residents, not a class of building. Every house hosts a mix — an expat and a student in the same compound is the design, not the exception. Three tiers price from a floor and scale with the property; Social Impact never scales.
Prefer the whole house?
Take a full house.
Any ULHP property can be leased in full by a single renter or household. Monthly rent for a whole-house lease is 25% of the property's annual lease cost, per month.
Worked example
A house on a $2,000/year head lease → whole-house rent is $500/month (25% × $2,000).
Negotiable depending on circumstances, location, and the length of the leasing agreement. Utilities (solar power, water, Starlink) are billed on top and settled through the resident utilities portal.
The cross-subsidy, live
Slide the mix. Watch the $75 rooms appear.
A per-property ledger. Move the sliders and the subsidy fund does the maths in real time. This is the same model that governs a real building.
