They sent a dangerous homeless drug addict wanted by police who made legal problems for me and my neighbours at my home which is meant to be a safe haven because they have no procedures or regulations
Private capitalising landlords use this site so they don't have to follow standard estate agent regulations or pay extortionist fees to get tenants huddled into overcrowded 3 bedroom houses where they do not live in themselves they do not care a dam except for high individual rent
SpareRoom.co.uk do not follow any regulations like openrent.com but are exactly the same worldwide property service therefore they have been reported to trading standards and the property ombudsman uk for breaking standard rules and procedures of a property website reply to me was we do not have to well we will see about that as an adviser said otherwise

Saved from scammers
An untrusted source made contact with me and before me even getting to the message , Zane and his team saved me. I truly appreciate this sort of alertness, time and support. I'm definitely recommending my friends who travel and seek accommodations to try Sublet. I've been scammed on other sites without even a note from the owners. I feel safe here

Great R/M site but it did take a long time for me to get a roommate, but it was from this site that I got one!
I had my room for rent on this site for some time along with Craigslist and I finally just got a roommate from this site a couple of days ago. THANK YOU GOD!! I'm giving it a thumbs up however it took a long time and I re-edited my ad a few times throughout that. It's definitely an app though to place the room for rent and I'm sure people would have quicker luck than I did. Thank you SpareRoom!

Last minute madness - Legit
I applied for one week and followed the site recommendations. I was in a hurry and other sites I tried to use were scam sites.
SpareRoom is very effective and I found the perfect place within a couple of days. I’m very pleased with the results and found me a great temporary place to lay my head. I’m very grateful.

So Glad to Have Found SpareRoom!
I had advertised on SpareRoom that we had a small balcony room available in the Bay Area, and someone teaching classes in the area responded that she would like a room during the week (she goes back to her home in ski country over the weekends). She has been a lovely, considerate and thoughtful guest and roommate, and we are delighted to have her here.

I love that it was easy to renew and keep the ad going. I appreciate the whole setup of your website. Thank you for your assistance. I have deactivated my ad, but I’m constantly looking for tenants, so I will keep the ad deactivated until I need it again. Thank you.

I signed up with SpareRoom
I signed up with SpareRoom, but I was praying that it wouldn't take forever to cross paths with the RIGHT person to share my home with!!! I sent invitations to everybody who messaged me. In a few days ... maybe 3 days later this kind young lady messaged me. Her and I talked for about 30 minutes and came to the same conclusion that was the her and I would get along nicely!!! It happened so quickly!!! ☺️☺️☺️ Thank you SpareRoom!!! Many blessings and miracles to you, your, me and mines!!! I believe that covers all of us!!! 🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰
