RentOnZilliqa, the Zilliqa Fullstack app, is a full-fledged application on the
Zilliqa Blockchain for listing and renting houses. In this guide, we will go
through the process of building the full-stack application, from writing the
contract to building the frontend application.

## Brief details of the application
A user can create an account as a renter or a host.
If the user is a host, they can create a listing of a home with details of the
home (e.g., title, address, amenities) and rental price per night. They can also
see the list of all homes as well as the homes they hosted. They can edit the
details of a home and delete it from the listing as well.
If the user is a renter, they can rent a home from the list given that it is not
unavailable. A home is unavailable if it is rented and the rent duration has not
passed yet. Once the user rents the home by paying the amount in ZIL, we mark
the home as unavailable. The amount is stored in the contract.
A host can also see the rent accumulated in their account. They can claim the
rent anytime they want.
