Housing Anywhere is full of hostile low quality landlords and Housing Anywhere claims no responsibility after move in despite steep fees
Housing Anywhere does not want to help with problems. They allow abusive and negligent landlords use their platform to gain new customers and after the contract is signed Housing Anywhere claims no responsibility.
I have used Housing Anywhere twice, in one case the landlord extorted me for money, Housing Anywhere refused to help. Another case the landlord just refuses to address complaints and only cares about rent ignoring its own duties as a landlord, again Housing Anywhere claims they are not interested.
By using Housing Anywhere you are using a platform that does not select the landlords based on reputation, which makes Housing Anywhere unsafe.
Housing Anywhere charges a steep fee for the bookings and then claims no responsibilities on the issues after you move in. It means we pay Housing Anywhere to be on our own, making Housing Anywhere a wild west where you can't count neither on their help neither you can trust Housing Anywhere's landlords, there are scammers and just fraudsters in the midst.
Housing Anywhere is all in all untrustworthy because they allow bad landlords with a track record of bd and hostile behavior to stay on their platform. Housing Anywhere puts the safety and the satisfaction of the renter in last place. It is a bad product with bad listings and the platform cares little to not a at all.

Dear Igor,
We’re genuinely sorry to hear about the situations you’ve described—this is not the experience we aim to provide to our users.
We take concerns about landlord behavior very seriously, especially when it involves allegations such as misconduct, negligence, or failure to meet obligations. While our platform operates as a marketplace that connects renters and landlords, we do have policies and processes in place to review complaints, investigate reported issues, and take action where appropriate.
We would also like to clarify that we offer support and assistance for issues reported within the first 48 hours after the move-in date. Beyond this timeframe, tenancy-related matters fall outside the scope of our involvement, as outlined in our Terms and Conditions. We understand this may be frustrating, especially when issues arise later in the tenancy, and we are continuously evaluating how we can better support our users within these boundaries.
For tenancy issues that cannot be resolved directly with the landlord, we recommend contacting the relevant local authorities or tenant advisory services, who are best positioned to provide guidance and enforce tenant rights.
Your comments about safety, trust, and accountability are important, and we are actively working to improve how we vet listings, monitor landlord performance, and respond to user concerns.
Regards,
James

Dear Catherine,
We’re sorry to hear about your experience, and we understand how upsetting this situation must have been.
As a platform, our role is to connect tenants and landlords, but we do not manage properties or have control over a landlord’s behavior. That said, we take reports of misconduct very seriously, especially when it involves potential violations such as unauthorized entry.
As outlined in our terms and conditions, our support is available for up to 48 hours after the start of the tenancy. Unfortunately, beyond this period, we are not involved in tenancy-related matters.
If this issue was brought to our attention, we regret if you felt unsupported. We aim to provide guidance and take appropriate action where possible, including reviewing landlords who may not meet expected standards.
Regards,
James
Stay FAR FAR AWAY FROM THIS SITE
Stay Away from Anywhere you are! The sit itself might not be entirely a scam but here is what happened to me: Was interested in a flat in Berlin; said "no deposit". Was asked to give credit card details " to show landlord additional commitment" Before the first message / contact with the landlord my bank calls and told me 3,000EUR were requested as payment! Crazy. Thank god they didn't authorize. STAY AWAY. DO NOT ENTER YOUR CREDIT CARD DETAILS. DO NOT USE THIS SITE

Dear DesertFox,
We are truly sorry to hear about what happened and understand how alarming this situation must have been.
The safety and security of our users is a top priority. We do not request any payments outside of the secure booking and payment flow on our platform. In addition, any request for credit card information made directly by a landlord within the conversation is not part of the official booking process and should be treated with caution.
In order to properly investigate this case and gain a full understanding of the situation, we have requested additional information from you.
We appreciate your cooperation and remain committed to helping resolve this matter as quickly as possible.
We sincerely regret the distress this has caused and are here to assist you further.
Kind regards,
Jacques
Supposedly reliable
Supposedly reliable, I was double-charged by both Colive and Housing Anywhere, which is described on this site as a reliable landlord. The result: nearly €3,000 down the drain for a single room.

Dear Elodie,
We are truly sorry to hear about your experience and understand how concerning it must be to face unexpected charges.
We take such matters very seriously. If any charges were not clearly displayed during the booking and payment process, we strongly encourage you to contact our customer support team with the relevant transaction details. We will review your case carefully within our 48-hour support window, as outlined in our Terms & Conditions, and assist you in resolving the issue as quickly as possible.
Our platform is committed to transparency and to facilitating a safe and reliable connection between guests and property owners, and we regret that your experience did not meet these expectations.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused and remain at your disposal for further assistance.
Kind regards,
Jacques
very nice apartment and very wel located but noise horrible
very nice apartment and very well located, fast check in, it’s a shame the cleaning was never done in the room before our arrival but on the other hand a part of the deposit was charged to us for a lack of storage in the common areas for which I was not responsible. Several incidents (lack of hot water) that take a long time to process. I underwent the sound birth of construction of a building in front of my window that had been reported as short and not very disturbing! So mixed experience.

Dear,
Thank you for sharing your experience.
We’re glad to hear that you appreciated the apartment’s location and the smooth check-in process. At the same time, we’re sorry to read about the issues you encountered during your stay.
As HousingAnywhere is a third-party platform, the condition of the accommodation, cleanliness at check-in, maintenance (such as hot water), and deposit handling fall under the responsibility of the landlord. We understand how frustrating these situations can be, especially when they impact your overall experience.
We strongly recommend sharing this feedback directly with the landlord, as it helps them understand what went wrong and where improvements are needed for future tenants.
Thank you again for your feedback, it’s valuable for both us and the advertisers on the platform.
Kind regards,
Alina
Price not clear from the beginning
I found the process of renting confusing at various stages. The most important point was that the price that I was offered when selection the property was not the definite price: when I ask for renting the place, the landlord gave a higher price. For this reason, I would not recommend housinganywhere.com to my friends.
Also, it was difficult to find out which document were compulsory and how to share them with the landlord at a later stage.
It would have been nice to have reviews about the properties and landlords like in other platforms.

Dear Ute,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that parts of the rental process felt confusing.
Transparency in pricing is very important to us, and landlords are expected to provide clear and consistent information in their listings. We will take your feedback into account to further improve clarity around pricing and the booking process.
We also understand that document requirements and how to share them should be as straightforward as possible, and we’re continuously working on making this experience clearer for our users.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience.

Just another site to charge you more and not help.
Housing anywhere is just another site taking advantage of erasmus students and short mobilities. They do everything possible to avoid any responsability in case there is a problem with the landlord. Not only that, they decide which reviews to publish in the landlords page, so I just found out that a landlord that stole my deposit and that I reported (of course they didn't do anything), not only didn't get my review published (so he still showed up with an impresive good mark), but also scammed another person the same way. Housing anywhere is only there to charge you 150 euros or more for the booking, and then is up to you. Better to avoid them completely.
Edit: (1) No Jacques, you are not sorry. (2) No, I don't "believe" my deposit was not returned, it is a fact. (3) As a platform your responsability was at the very least to investigate in the fraudster landlord. Instead you closed the investigation without a single contact with me or publication, and as a result another person recently got scammed in the same way. Despite this fact, today (23/03/2026) the landlord is still operating in the platform, potentially scamming more people.
You guys could not care less about these matters, all you want is getting your operating fee.

Dear Santiago,
we’re truly sorry to hear about your experience.
We understand how stressful and disappointing it must feel if you believe your deposit was not returned and that your expectations regarding support and reviews were not met. Situations involving landlords and deposits are always taken very seriously, especially when users feel they have been treated unfairly.
As a platform, our role is to connect tenants and landlords and to provide a secure booking process. We do not handle deposits returns as this is the responsibility of a landlord as per the signed contract. We’re sorry you feel that your case was not resolved satisfactorily.
Regarding reviews, we do have moderation guidelines in place to ensure that content meets our publishing standards, but we understand how this can be frustrating from your perspective. Feedback like yours is important and helps us review and improve these processes.

Dear Nickolus,
We’re very sorry to hear that you feel this way, and we understand how upsetting it must be to face difficulties with the return of your deposit.
We would like to clarify that our platform’s role is to connect tenants and landlords. While we aim to provide a safe and reliable environment, we are not directly involved in the management of tenancies, including deposit handling or disputes, which remain the responsibility of the landlord.
Regarding the tenant protection fee, please note that this is a one-time fee applied during the booking confirmation, rather than a recurring monthly charge. It is intended to support the services we provide through the platform, such as facilitating connections and maintaining a secure user experience.
We understand that this situation has been frustrating, and we are sorry that your experience did not meet expectations. Your feedback is important to us and helps us continue improving our service.
Kind regards,

Bad experience
In general, I would not recommend this experience, as one month before my contract was due to end, I informed the landlord that I wanted to extend it, but I did not receive any response until 15 days before the end date. After contacting her several times and following up, I still received no reply.
Additionally, I was told that my deposit would be returned within 10 days, but after multiple attempts and repeated follow-ups, I only received it two months later. I find this unacceptable.

Dear Santiago,
We’re truly sorry to hear how frustrating and stressful this situation must have been for you, especially when it involved uncertainty around your housing and a significant delay in receiving your deposit.
We completely understand how important timely communication is in situations like a contract extension, and how concerning it can be to wait for the return of your deposit longer than expected.
We would like to clarify that our role is to provide a platform that connects tenants and landlords, and we are not directly involved in managing communication, contract decisions, or deposit returns. These matters remain the responsibility of the landlord. However, we do expect all users on our platform to communicate clearly and act in a fair and timely manner.
We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention, as feedback like yours helps us continue improving the experience for everyone using our platform.
