RENTNEST — RENTAL MARKETPLACE API

RentNest is a production-ready Rental Property Marketplace Backend API that allows tenants to discover rental properties, landlords to manage listings, and administrators to oversee the platform. The project follows a clean modular architecture using TypeScript, Express.js, Prisma ORM, and PostgreSQL. It includes secure JWT authentication, role-based authorization, Stripe payment integration, property reviews, advanced filtering, pagination, centralized error handling, and standardized API responses. The platform supports three user roles: • Tenant: Browse and search properties, submit rental requests, complete payments using Stripe, leave property reviews, and view rental history. • Landlord: Create, update and delete property listings, view rental requests, approve or reject rental applications, and manage property availability. • Admin: Manage users, ban or unban users, manage property categories, and monitor all properties and rental requests. This project demonstrates scalable REST API development, robust authentication & authorization, payment gateway integration, relational database modeling with Prisma, and clean backend architecture suitable for real-world production applications.
