  On 3/12/2025 I registered on Rently website to view a property for rent @ ***********************************. I was unsuccessful in accessing the property. I called the helpdesk immediately while at the property. The customer service **** stated the reason why I was unsuccessful because of my phone was not an iphone and instructed me to contact the realtor who which did not return my phone for 4 days after I made 2 phone calls & left voice messages. Gave me the option of viewing the property using another option instead of using rently which I had already paid the fee. I never viewed the property instead I called rently and requested a refund & to cancel the service. And was told the refund will with 5-7 business day. Current to date the account was not cancelled & I never received the refund. I was told my bank to contact my bank & because it's a credit union account they are unable to provide a refund. I new that answer was not correct because I have merchants process credit /refunds to my card in the past without issue. The answer did not make no sense to me because rently received the funds. This place is very unprofessional and everytime you call and speak with someone you get a different answer.

  Good morning,

  Upon review, we identified the issue related to this interaction and have taken the following actions. 

  1. Re-issued the refund (Transaction id is ************.

  2. Pulled the newly hired agent from support channels for re-training.

  3. Reported the tour failure to our engineering team for review to identify the core issue.

  4. Cancelled the account as requested. (This may take up to 24 hours to reflect.).

  5. Implementing additional quality assurance checks to ensure all agents are communicating our processes and procedures correctly and consistently. 

  We apologize for any frustration or confusion caused by this interaction. We strive to help every renter find their ideal property. This is not a typical interaction, but not one we want to excuse by any means. We hope our actions help prevent situations like this in the future. 

  Sincerely, 

  The Rently Team

  I purchased a subscription a on Rently that would allow me to several requests to view homes across my area. Today, I was blocked from touring a home on my first attempt . I was told by customer service that the account would be unpaused but then I received an email that I would continue to be banned. This was my first attempt to tour a home so I have no idea why I would have been banned.

  

  Business Response

  Date: 03/25/2025

  Hello, 

  As it relates to this complaint, the ban is based on security criteria provided by individual property management companies. In this case the scoring was slightly over the property manager's criteria which triggered an automatic security ban. The agent that the customer spoke with did try to remove the ban, but because the scoring was over the limit the ban was later automatically pushed back. This security ban would only affect the homes managed by this one property manager and the customer would still be able to view any other homes listed by Rently. 

  Typically the process would be for the prospect to reach directly out to the ** for a guided showing as Rently cannot typically remove ** bans. With scores that are just marginally over we can make a judgement call, which we did in this case. 

  We were able to override the ban and refunded the touring service fee. I spoke with ******* on the phone, explained the situation and the remedy, so she can continue viewing these homes at no cost. 

  We are always continuing to work with the property managers who have this additional criteria, on improvements to make the customer journey more seamless. 

  We understand the frustation and confusion that this can cause and are working towards a lasting solution. Feel free to contact me with any further questions. 

  Kind Regards, 

  ******** *****, Director, Customer Support at **********************

  I purchased a subscription account on ******. This account was supposed to allow me to view homes across my area. Recently, I was blocked fromseeing first key homes on their platform. I was told by customer service that the account would be unpause by someone in 24 hours, and that has yet to happen.

  In June 2022 I moved into a new build home that came with keypad door locks which I later found was hosted by Rently. Upon reaching the 1 year **** in June 2023 I found that the rental service was no longer included and that I would have to continue with a monthly fee of $31.98. It was never explained to me that my doors would still work without paying the monthly fee. After being locked out of my home several times (due to weather related electricity outages) I decided to change the locks to keyed locks. In January 2024 I sent a request for immediate cancellation of Rentlys service effective immediately email communication was the only thing provided. It is not January 2025 and Rently is still charging me for the service that I no longer use or want. I have tried several times to reach someone and never receive a response. They do not provide a customer service number and email is the only option available. I believe this company is not engaging in ethical practices and I just want the service canceled and monies refunded to me that they are now illegally debiting from my account.

  Rently app paused my account for no apparent reasons. Im trying to view the homes, paid the money, did verification, produced my ssn. My account is paused why? I couldnt view any homes and Im in the process of moving fast.

  Hello - 
  Thank you for bringing this situation to our attention.

  After account review, we can confirm two unique property management companies placed a pause on your account. Each property management company places their own security and self guided tour criteria within the Rently platform. As such, you entered a flow with each of these companies. We've sent directions to your inbox so you may contact the specific property management companies to request pause removal. In the meantime, there are no other restrictions associated with your account! 
  
  Please be on the lookout for outreach from ******************************************************.

  I have paid the money in order to conduct self-guided tours with Rently. Each home Ive gone to self tour, I receive the attached notification. Ive spoke to several different **** and no one has been able to assist me with getting this corrected. Not to mention, since paying for the access, my days are counting down as well. So Ive basically paid for a service and Im not receiving anything. The last *** I spoke with hung up on me. I need an explanation as to why they keep giving me the run around and if like a refund if they cant get this corrected. This is very frustrating because Im driving to these properties, wasting time and gas, only to be hung up on.

  Hello - 

  Your complaint has been received and reviewed. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. 

  After thorough review, we've identified two accounts associated with the same email address, but two unique phone numbers. Per Rently protocol, only one unique phone number and one unique email may be associated with a singular account. Additionally, we recognized a mix of identity verification attempts (a male ID and a female ID) causing all accounts to be flagged. While frustrating in this situation, this auto flag serves as a safety precaution in many other instances.  We appreciate your understanding. 

  To proceed, please ensure both accounts are set up in full. We've sent an email your way inclusive of instructions to untangle the accounts.

  Both accounts, as it stands, are free of any pause. As you complete each account set up, I went ahead and refunded the charge of $11.99 and added a few tour credits courtesy of Rently. 

  Last, we've reviewed all calls and chat threads. We apologize that our agents did not have full visibility to untangle the accounts themselves. In situations such as this it is extremely difficult to diagnose rapidly and without all pertinent info. While we noticed room for improvement by our agents, we assure you our agents did not prematurely hang up. 

  Should you need additional support, please contact ****************************** directly. This will bypass agent support and connect you with the *** closest to your case. Thank you again, for your understanding. 

  Kindly,

  I am seeking a rental home and was excited to use the self tour option that matches me with places making my search much easier with Rently. I had no issue paying the fee upon signing up and immediately began viewing homes. 2 weeks into my month subscription I paid to have unlimited tours, suddenly, my account was "triggered" & locked from the place that has almost all the homes listed that I waws matched with. After lots of ************* it was suggested I make a new account to be able to continue to view homes while the issue was being fixed since it had already been almost 2 weeks and no resolution (SEE ATTACHED CHAT PROOF). I followed the advise & paid again for the new account, even though I should have still had 2 weeks remaining on my old one and I used an alternative ph# and email. This worked with no issue but then 2 weeks into that subscription the same thing happened! Same thing, went back and forth and rently even assisted me with setting up the THIRD account to allow me to continue viewing homes & told me I would be issued refunds, which I never got. My ******* arrived to the 1st of 6 homes we cleared our whole day for to tour yesterday & had already set up in rently, only to be unable to enter saying account was paused. I called and spent an hour on the phone and was told the pause was due to having multiple accounts, which I explained I was told to do. I was assured not to worry this would be fixed & was told that it was resolved, only to have the same thing happen when I tried to enter. I contacting rently AGAIN & was told my account is permanently paused due to me still trying to access the multiple accounts, despite being told not to!!! UNBELIEVABLE! The last person had told me he deleted all but 1 of the accounts I had to resolve the issue, so I decided to go & make sure they all were deleted & try one more time to start fresh. I paid again & when I tried to self tour it said paused again. I have done nothing wrong to be banned & feel scammed.

  Hello - 

  Thank you for bringing this situation to our attention. Utilizing the provided information, we've taken a deeper look at your account.

  First, we apologize for the conflicting directive by our agents. It is best practice not to make multiple accounts as security protocols may flag duplicate accounts - as you experienced.

  Next, utilizing the email associated with your review, we can confirm a singular property management company placed a pause on your account. Each property management company places their own security and self guided tour criteria within the Rently platform. As such, you entered a flow with this company. We've sent directions to your inbox so you may contact the specific property management company to request pause removal. In the meantime, there are no other restrictions associated with your account! 

  Within the same outreach email, we've requested further detail on any other accounts you may have made. Our goal is to untangle multiple accounts and ensure you have a singular dedicated account to utilize. Again, we apologize for the misinformation provided by our agent. We will be working with this individual to enhance their knowledge and utilize this example for team training purposes. 

  Last, we went ahead and initiated a refund of $11.99 posted on 10/25/2024. The remaining 3 charges look to be associated with a different account. Using any additional details you may be able to provide on other accounts, will help us to decipher appropriate credits relative to the charges on 11/16/2024, 12/6/2024, and 12/13/2024.

  We look forward to navigating a pathway forward. Please be on the lookout for outreach from ******************************************************

  My Rently account was paused for no reason. I called Rently for weeks and told them I needed it unpaused because I was attempting to view homes in my area for immediate move in, but couldnt gain access. I told them I have no suspicious intentions and Im just asking for help. My account was never unpaused so I deleted it and created another one. Things did not resolve and I continued to call and ask for help numerous times. I have been emailing support for weeks as well, nobody has unpaused my account. They emailed me back saying that they will not unpause my account. Its not my fault my original account wasnt working, so I had to delete it and create another account. They have no right to act like Im suspicious when Ive been telling them Im a legit person struggling with their awful technology. Well now I cant move until things are fixed because the property management companies **** send me alternative ways to view the properties. Rently is ruining my life and just tells me to go away when I have no choice but to use the Rently app. If I could find an alternative option I wouldnot to mention the fact they have accepted my unlimited tour payment but havent provided me with any helpful services or resources.

  I Have been using Rently to tour for a couple months with no problems. As of about a month ago, I was unable to tour homes with one leasing, then another. I was soon unable to tour any homes. My account was locked. No explanation. The error *** says to reach out to the individual companies whom is leasing the property. (EX Firstkey or Main Street...). I reached out and they have no idea why my account is paused nor are they able to fix it. The error msg mentions a security issue. All i do is tour homes. I dont know what security issue I caused. This happened shortly after I purchased the unlimited plan. It has been several weeks now with no explanation. I am so frustrated. My lease is up in November and I need to fix something ****.

  My husband and I are visiting the area we are looking to move to and were using the Rently app to look at potential rental houses. We paid for the 60 day unlimited and the app was working and let us visit two locations on the first day here. We got back to our hotel and started scheduling more houses to do the self tour with for 6/24, 6/25, and 6/26 when I received an account lock notification saying that I had triggered some security lock. The app or the web based login won't let us do anything else so we tried contacting their security via email and phone. We sat on the phone on wait for about ***** minutes before we were just told to leave a message and didn't get to actually talk to anyone about our problem. We planned this entire trip around this and if we can't get back into our account and continue to tour the houses then we are out our hotel fees for 3 nights and the 12 hour drive to get here. We don't understand how if you pay for "unlimited" then it blocks your account after scheduling 12 or so tours. We noticed that some of these issues get resolved after 3 or more days and this is unacceptable to us.

  Hello - 

  We apologize for the inconvenience caused recently. After account review, we can confirm a singular property management company with multiple communities placed a pause on your account.

  For additional context, Rently serves as a conduit for property management companies and property owners to list homes for rent. As such, you entered a flow with a singular property management company with multiple properties listed. Fortunately, outside of the singular property management company pause, there are no other restrictions associated with your account. 

  We have just sent and email from ****************************** outlining the appropriate property management contact, so you may request pause removal directly. In the meantime, we hope you'll take advantage of touring other homes in the area! 

  Kindly, 

  Team Rently
