Company details

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.

customer service

We paid an amount through First Key to see houses but had a question about our payment. So we called First Key. They connected us to Rently because that is who handles the payments, it even says so on our invoice that the money goes through Rently. We’re on the phone with a customer service rep for Rently and this man is a moron. Keeps telling us that they don’t take money but that they have paid plans and that we need to talk to First Key instead. Wouldn’t listen to us at all and was extremely rude. Very unhelpful all around and an idiot. I’m extremely disappointed in their customer service and can’t see us renting through them since the customer service is so atrocious. How can we trust a business that hires incompetent workers?

I tried on three different days to view a property and each time I logged in and put the code in but the lockbox gave me an error code. I contacted Rently each time and kept getting the runaround until they sent me a text that the lockbox was fixed. When I went back for the third time, same result. After jumping through a bunch of of hoops, I was finally connected with a live person through chat and we went back and forth for 20 minutes until he disconnected the chat. Doesn’t give me a good impression of this company. Sometimes you need more than AI to run a company. I will not be viewing any properties that uses this app.

Deceptive Business Practices

Truly, one of the most deceptive companies I’ve ever worked with. Five years ago I bought a smart home lock and it worked perfectly fine until this summer when they shut my hub down out of nowhere. They told me my SIM card was no longer active and that I would need to sign a contract for my lock to continue working. They overnighted me a SIM card and tried to bill me almost $100. I told them I would no longer work with Rently and removed their lock and installed a Yale assure lock. I have failed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and will be filing a complaint with consumer affairs for deceptive practices in California. Do not work with this company. They are very deceptive.

Unfortunately

Unfortunately, without even having used this app properly yet, I had already recommended everyone to download it. But this coming Monday, I am going to tell every single person I recommended it to that this is all a lie—you simply take people's money and waste their time, and in the end, you provide nothing. I will tell them to delete it because it's a useless app that offers zero value.
I’ve lived here for 3 or 4 years without you and I will continue to do just fine, but you are the ones who will keep losing customers! As if before you came along, people were living on the streets or something!)))

Overall terrible experience and their…

Overall terrible experience and their 3rd party application Rently is a scam. We paid Rently a fee to browse multiple Progress Residential homes in hopes of renting a house through them. Right after we paid our account got frozen. When we called Rently and Progress Residential they states that they could not unfreeze it and that the only way we could continue using their services is if we create a new account. Keep in mind they stole from us. I really wanted to buy from them but if this is the kind of service they give then I rather count my losses.

We understand your frustration with having your account frozen right when you were ready to tour, and we want to clarify exactly how our platform and safety measures work. Rently is a secure-access technology provider, not a scam, and we do not keep fees for services you were unable to use.

The fee you paid is not a charge to browse listings; it is a vital identity-verification and security screening fee. Because Rently’s technology allows you to enter properties entirely on your own without an agent present, this screening is necessary to protect the physical homes and ensure community safety.

When an account is paused or frozen immediately after registration, it is typically because a security algorithm was triggered - either by Rently's fraud-prevention filters or due to specific touring thresholds set by the property management company . Because our partner property managers own these physical assets, they maintain strict control over touring access. If a security flag is raised, we are operationally required to restrict access to protect the home.

We absolutely do not want to keep your verification fee if you were unable to tour. Please email our support team at support@rently.com to open a ticket. Our team will verify your account and process a refund of your verification fee.
