        abstract = {The rapid digitalization of real estate and rental services has introduced significant challenges in ensuring data security, user authenticity, and safe online transactions. Existing property trading platforms often lack robust cybersecurity mechanisms, role-based access control, and secure communication channels, making them vulnerable to unauthorized access, fraudulent listings, and malware attacks through media uploads. This paper presents the design and development of a cyber-secure property trading and hostel rental application integrated with map-based location services to enhance usability and trust. The proposed system implements secure authentication using hashed password mechanisms, structured role management for administrators, sellers, and buyers, and a protected image upload module with strict validation techniques. Additionally, a real-time chat system and complaint management module are incorporated to ensure transparent communication between users and administrators. The integration of geolocation services enables accurate property identification and minimizes physical visits, thereby improving decision-making efficiency. The system is developed using a Python-based backend with a secure database and a responsive frontend interface. Experimental implementation demonstrates improved security, efficient property management, and enhanced user interaction compared to traditional property platforms. This research contributes a scalable and cybersecurity-focused solution for digital property trading and hostel rental management.},
