Messaging your Host

Last updated October 22, 2026

PadSplit Hosts own and operate the homes on the PadSplit platform. Clear communication with your Host is key to a great PadSplit experience. Here's how to stay connected with your Host:

The PadSplit Messenger

  • Is available as soon as you book or have a scheduled move-in date

  • Can be accessed via:

    • Web Dashboard: Click the messenger icon in the top right corner

    • PadSplit App: Click the messenger icon in the bottom menu

How the Messenger Works

  • Chats automatically close after 24 hours of inactivity

  • You can always request to reopen a chat with your Host

  • Hosts receive notifications of new messages

When to Use Other Channels

Certain issues are better dealt with through dedicated PadSplit channels.

  1. Member concerns: If you’re having issues with another member in your house, you can rate them from your Member dashboard.

  2. Safety issues: If an emergency, call 911 first. Then submit a safety report via your dashboard.

  3. Maintenance problems: Any maintenance issues with the house should be reported as a maintenance ticket.

  4. Financial questions: Contact PadSplit support directly for questions about billing and payments.
