If I could give this service negative stars I would. Absolutely the most ridiculous and cumbersome process, and they actually charge you to tour their homes. This has got to be illegal. As a longtim... See more

Written by the company

Rently is guided by the desire to streamline leasing activity, optimize property management, and create premier resident experiences. We were born out of and revolve around innovation. What started out as a practical response to the preference of 40% of renters wanting to view properties outside of regular business hours evolved into a popular proptech solution that benefits renters and managers every day. Rently initially brought its patented self-showing technology to the market in 2011, and has since become the industry leader in self-guided tours and smart home technology. With more than 16 million self tours completed to date and tens of thousands of smart home devices deployed, Rently has the experience and product expertise to help single family and multifamily operators optimize their entire leasing lifecycle with smart home technology. The “Rently Difference” is that we offer a true end-to-end solution, with one login to control every aspect of the renter journey. Our “all-in-one” smart leasing platform automates every phase of the leasing cycle – from self touring, to move-in, to smart home residency and beyond. Rently has more than a decade of experience and has been vetted and utilized across all 50 states. We provide world-class installation support and dedicated client success teams to ensure smooth deployments and happy customers.

Scam of the century

Scam of the century! No one should have to pay to view homes! Especially self guided. I have reported to BBB. Do not trust! They require personal information and do not explain you have to PAY to view.
What has this world come to????
Very disappointed

It's easy... Well... not so much.

It looks easy but it's not.

I wanted to view a property. The management company linked me to Rently. I typed in my phone number. I was already registered. But my password didn't work. I had to reset it. That involved e-mail, clicking links and verifying a text message.

After that, I could log in which required more verification. After that, I get to yet another page of verification requirements. Didn't I already have an account? Why do I have to verify again? The "easy steps" are three annoying, very personal verification components, such as photo ID.

I gave up for now. I don't feel like there was anything easy about this experience. Plus, I don't know how much I can trust this company with very sensitive information.

Scam to pay to tour property

I called Rently to tour a house in my area listed for First Key Homes. I received a confirmation email with someone else's name and received no explanation as to whose name that was. I was then told to give my card information for a charge to physically tour the property. Total SCAM!

Easy to use the system…

Easy to use the system and view the houses. Dumb that you have to pay to use it. People will just go view houses they don’t have to pay for.

Thanks for your feedback. Self-guided touring is a hassle-free option that gives you the freedom to tour a vacant home on your own time without the presence of a real estate agent. In order to provide quality services, the Rently app does charge a small fee similar to other apps.

We appreciate your understanding and are glad to hear our platform simplified home viewing overall!
