Rentola.nz seems to be a scam website

Rentola.nz seems to be a scam website. Wasn’t able to contact landlord even after paying a small subscription fee ($1.65) and the website will continue charging a subscription fee of a higher rate at $64. Worst part is it’s very challenging to cancel subscription. DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE, total scam!

If I could give this company zero…

If I could give this company zero stars, I would.

Do not trust this company. I signed up for what was presented as a trial, and it was not made clear that I would be automatically charged £35. The terms and conditions were not clearly presented, and there was no proper warning before the payment was taken.

This is not just poor practice — it may breach UK consumer law. Under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, companies must clearly inform customers about ongoing charges before they are committed. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 also requires terms to be fair and transparent. In my experience, this was not the case at all.

I will be pursuing a full refund, and I strongly advise others to be extremely cautious before signing up.

This situation is completely unacceptable.

I was looking at properties online and a property i like came up on this sight, it showed lots of properties and asked for a £1 sign up to get in touch with a private landlord, although i got no reply and no further listings. A week later they took £35 out of my account, the contact number just goes dead and when you try and cancel a robot asks you to confirm your email in a link, which then just loops round to same assistant question, i have contacted my bank, but feel i am going to have to change my bank account, surprised this company havent been reported as scammers.

I initially had an issue with a £35 charge that I didn’t expect, which was frustrating. However, after raising the complaint, the customer service team reviewed my case and issued a full refund.

While the situation shouldn’t have happened in the first place, I appreciate that it was eventually resolved and that they took the time to look into it properly

Don't give them your money

They say they put you in touch direct to landlord, but they take you back to the estate agents site. You go to cancel your account or get in touch with them they give you a magic link which takes you back to the beginning of the page. Don't let them have your money utter rubbish. I cancelled my subscription but no email confirmation as they promise and yes I have allowed email communication from you.

Hi Nick,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations.

Our platform aggregates listings from multiple sources to help users find properties in one place, which means contact may sometimes be with agents rather than directly with landlords. We also understand your concerns regarding cancellation confirmation and would like to review this for you.

Avoid this scam company

Signed up for free trial for £1.
Cancelled.
Have since had 5 failed attempts (so far) Rentola attempting to take £35 from my account.
I've again asked their 'customer service' - bot - to cancel my unwanted and unsolicited subscription.
Just had another attempt to take my money while I'm typing this review!

This company is a scam. DO NOT SIGN UP TO THEIR FREE TRIAL!!!
