Why People Leave Sonder
Sonder filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2025
Sonder’s master-lease model collapsed under the weight of fixed lease payments and operational costs. Hosts who signed long leases faced uncertainty and losses.
Master lease = you give up ownership and upside
Sonder’s model required you to hand over the property on a long lease. Any upside from a hot market went to Sonder — and any downside became a fight over lease obligations.
Rigid contracts, limited flexibility
Master leases lock you into multi-year terms. With TIDY, there are no contracts — you keep your property, your listings, and full flexibility.
No control over pricing, brand, or guests
Under the Sonder model, they controlled pricing, branding, and guest experience. TIDY never touches any of that — you stay in charge.
TIDY vs Sonder
“After watching the master-lease model blow up in 2025, I wanted something where I kept ownership and control. TIDY gave me that — and cut my costs dramatically.”
— David K.
Former master-lease host
