It's a notorious platform which phish customers to subscribe for free for a trial period and then without bringing any results, it forces for automatic renewals. I cancelled within the first trial period, but the company still charged me for 39 euro of subscription for the first month. For such 39 euro, they involve a payment collection third party, and the charge increased to 80 euro. Never use this platform.

The website is simply a scam
The website is simply a scam. You get no replies from the landlord and even after cancelling my subscription they continue to charge me. I am acutely sad that I have to give one star because they don't even deserve that.

Rentola scammed 550 euro
Hi Pradip,
Thank you for reaching out.
I can see that you subscribed to our services on rentola.com on 11 November 2023. The subscription was renewed at the full price after the 7-day trial period was over and every 28 days after that as per our agreement.
You can see all your account details including when it will renew by logging into your account and going to the "My Membership" section.
When creating a subscription with us, it costs a lower amount in the intro period - afterwards, you are charged the standard price for each subscription period until you choose to cancel the subscription.
This is brought to your attention when you register the payment and it is also stated in our terms and conditions which you have to accept in order to create a subscription. When the subscription is created you also receive a confirmation email with the terms and conditions clearly stated.
If you do not wish to continue the premium membership, you can cancel anytime via your account settings or by contacting customer service.
I can also see that you cancelled your subscription on 26 October 2024 and I can confirm that you'll not be charged again. Currently, this is a free account with no active subscription. A refund, however, is not possible since the subscription was cancelled after a new billing period had started.
Further, users are not allowed to delete their accounts, they have to contact the support team for it. Please confirm if you want me to permanently delete this account and are fine with losing all the details(including property search and history) associated with your account. Once I have your confirmation, I'll delete your account.
Hope that helps, please let us know if you need anything else.
Hi Pradip,
Thank you for your reply.
I'm afraid we informed you before, during, and after you subscribed to our services. As a responsible company, we have a duty to disclose costs, which we do in several places. As a customer, you also have a responsibility to read the information we provide.
Further, you could have requested cancellation anytime after the first 24 hours and you still would have used the services for the remaining period. You could have cancelled either by doing it yourself or by contacting the support team like you did this time. You should have also kept track of your debits and reached out to us sooner however, you reached out to us a full month after you cancelled your subscription.
For these reasons, your refund request is denied and this ticket is now closed.
Seeking alternative help is your right and you are free to do so, however, since you have chosen to go that way, we must stop all future communications.
Kind regards
Abhinav

Could you please send me terms and conditions? I haven't received anything. I checked everything, and I also checked different reviews and people's platforms Almost 98% people said we're scammed by your $1 subscribe strategy and later you upgraded our account. who the held are you doing such an untruthful and scamming business? I already filled out the complaints with European consumers about cyberspace in Germany and shared my all the browsing history, including your scamming business details. I know you doing the same in the name of terms and conditions, but I won't let it happen with any consumers who have hard-earned money and pay you without consuming your services. Look at your reviews. Also asked you send me your terms and conditions as soon as possible.

Scum
Borderline fraud with the methods they used to activate the paid subscription. I see so many other saying the same thing so I know I’m not crazy! I am still not sure when I even agreed to start a paid subscription with them but here I am owning THREE MONTHS of subscription plus a collecting fee of SEVENTY. scum people, scum company.

Redirects to other listings & fake housings
Exetremely dissapointed in Rentola and the people that work there. After registering and paying a subscription fee, none of the advertised apartments were actually available. Rentola simply redirects you to other websites where the apartments are listed, requiring yet another registration and subscription fee. Despite completing these additional steps, I was never contacted or followed up on by any of these platforms. I couldn’t contact them either.
This feels like a blatant exploitation of people in need of housing. Rentola shows no accountability or concern for its users, and their service borders on being a sca

My 1€ introduction fee activated a Premium subscription fee.
Having paid 1€ introduction fee by credit card I expected an activation notification prior to a subscription was charged to my credit card. A week later, without notification my card was charged for a premium subscription. I wrote explaining my circumstances, requesting a refund. My message remains unanswered that I was charged for a premium service for an introductory service. Beware, this company's procedures are deliberately evasive and make it virtually impossible to contact them.

Rentola just automatically charges people from their cards without any notice or emails. I was just charged twice without realising, and when I tried to unsubscribe on the platform it just kept showing "TRY AGAIN" on a red field on the website. So I thought I didn't have any active subscription. Now I just got charged the second time, total 78 euro for nothing. This is a scam.

They send you to other paid websites, no real information
They dont actually have any listings. Just links to other websites that have houses there. Complete scam waste of money and time. Do not even sign up for their free trial. Waste of time. Or use fake name and fake email with charged temp use credit card

Borderline commercial practices
The interface is quite ok, but you should be careful about the company’s commercial practices. I had the experience of making an account for the free test period, cancelling the account after 2 weeks and still having to pay for a year subscription, with messages threatening to involve the debt collector if I did not pay within the specified delay.

Absolute con artists. Advertising property that doesn’t exist and charging monthly fees for absolutely nothing.

Just do not subscribe
Just do not subscribe. There are a bunch of technical issues. You would end up paying them monthly fees and not getting the service and struggle to find your subscription so you can cancel it.

this site is a scam
This site is a scam and most of the high ratings are fake. they offered a free trial service and they say it is cancelable before the pay period starts. I cancelled it within the first day itself as the results in this site are simply results from other websites and you have to pay extra. Now the company forces me to pay even though my account is cancelled. DO NOT USE THIS SITE

Interesting to see how many fake reviews there are on this page, all 5 Star review are placed by people with a single review / or individuals that still complain but accidentally put 5 stars.
It is quite obvious this service is a scam don’t let the fake ads ruin it for you, the fact that they dare to say otherwise is truly disgraceful.
Having a company that openly scams people instead of using your easy-to-find website for a good and just as profitable means of business is actually horrible. I hope you will soon file for bankruptcy!

An absolute scam
An absolute scam. I have been trying to cancel since I signed up. U can sign up without a desk top computer but you can't cancel! I don't own a desk top computer. There is no number to contact them and only a robot site. I couldn't log on for days. Impossible to use. Avoid at all cost. Should not be allowed to trade.

SCAMMMM
SCAMMMM! I subscribed on the 9th and cancelled on the 14th few days apart, but they still went on to bill me 39 euros, when I declined the bill, they sent my account to Intrum, a debt collection Agency with a charge of 79 euros adding 40 euros for legal cost, I think they are working together with this company to scam people, because the debt collection agency doesn't even check the validity of rentola's requests. Rentola has no Customer telephone line, so its impossible to talk with someone. This is a terrible company, do not subscribe.
