Rent. Apartments and Homes Reviews

As a property app it’s functional. The photo setup is bad though, why can’t I look at the photos in an icons style all together? Having to scroll through them one by one and wait for them to load is agonizing. I don’t care about high quality photos of every property, but I do care about quickly looking at the kitchen, bathrooms, and yard so I can tell if it’s fenced in, has decent counter space, and has a bathtub or standing shower only.

Also the property owners often have to put details that should be filters on the site into the description which is frustrating. Dogs allowed but only small dogs, fenced in yard, 2 car garage vs 1 car, basement, office, etc. And there are lots of rental properties on here that are for sale, which should majorly affect someone’s decision to rent. That should be a big flag, and something that should be an automated check for the site via API. No renter wants to be surprised that they are getting a new landlord.

I tried every app there is in terms of searching for an apartment and this one has by far been the best option to help me compare and choose the best fit for me. Takes into consideration travel time and shows you everything, seriously I could keep going on how awesome it is ok

When I’m using RentApartmentsandHomes to find affordable apartments, I waste so much time in contacting the properties and then finding out that it is an income restricted property. I would just like to be able to filter out those properties in my search, since I don’t qualify, so contacting those properties is a waste. I’m glad they are there for those who need it, but it’s frustrating to finally find an apartment that looks promising, only to find out I can’t even live there, because that rental price is not meant for me.
Make it so I can filter those out (or in for those who are looking for those properties) and I’ll change my rating.
Thanks for a good app otherwise.

I have ONE deal breaker and it’s a pool. I’m a swimmer and walking to a gym in the dead of winter is getting old so I just want to search by who has a pool on the property. Too many listings say they have a pool, therefore RentApartmentsandHomes sends me their listing repeatedly… they don’t have a pool. They are close to a gym that has a pool for an extra cost (and freezing cold walk to/from) but there’s no pool inside or on building property. It’s also really obvious that a small 3-4 story walk up won’t have a pool. No one is checking these properties for accuracy. I’m sure it’s more than just pools that are inaccurate but that’s my experience.

There needs to be a way to report listings as potential scams and false listings. I had RentApartmentsandHomes for several months trying to find a house to rent and 90% of the new listings I would check out are houses that (when google searched) are NOT for rent and are actually on the market FOR SALE. A few of them were scammers asking for a quick app and cash deposit. Most of those houses being posted on RentApartmentsandHomes were at below market value for rental rates in that area. It’s really discouraging and is the least bit useful. I luckily was able to jump on an opportunity with a legitimate listing on Zillow.

I am trying to use RentApartmentsandHomes to find a rental for my parents who lost their house in the fire...I can’t see what I’m typing because the text is hidden behind the keyboard... then when I try and send I just get a vibration that sort of feels like it’s an error ... like it didn’t send. But no error message or explanation. Then this message pops up asking me to rate RentApartmentsandHomes . I believe RentApartmentsandHomes deserves one star for actually showing my a possible rental, but then RentApartmentsandHomes is nearly useless as far as I can tell. So I suggest you just have pencil and paper ready to write down the places you are interested in and call. Email capabilities of RentApartmentsandHomes are pathetic

To be clear I do understand it being a app that needs to make some revenue so I can rent it that. But the fact that if I want to receive a message from someone I need to pay for a subscription, I know it sounds overdramatic but I find that repulsive. If it was a service that requested payment right away that’s fine but by having someone put effort in to look for apartments onlyTo find out that if I want to respond to someone I need to pay RentApartmentsandHomes $10 for a seven day fee not guaranteeing services are going to work. I definitely would never suggest RentApartmentsandHomes very greedy

I love the desktop site but the fact there is no option to login via Google as there is for the desktop site is very frustrating. I have 25 properties saved via my Google login but with there being no option on RentApartmentsandHomes , I just always use the browser version. I would think this would be an obvious necessity for the developers and UX but I guess not. Please fix ASAP!

RentApartmentsandHomes is generally helpful, though late at night it had trouble looking up info for specific apts.

My biggest concern is that I initially signed up for an account on their website with my google account and bookmarked several properties. RentApartmentsandHomes does not have the option to log in with one's google account, thus I am unable to look at the bookmarked properties.

I’ve had a lot of trouble trying to find apartments by just searching the web and now I’ve been only using RentApartmentsandHomes also it’s finding places that are more affordable for me which is the best of all thank you so much!!

I reached out to 5 different properties, 2 were unresponsive, and 3 responded that the home listed as “available” was in fact rented already, which is more of a reflection of the agents actually “utilizing” RentApartmentsandHomes . It leads one to an overall assumption that lazy or negligent agents choose to utilize RentApartmentsandHomes over others. And speaking of other apps, initiating a search was also not particularly user friendly when comparing to the plethora of other rental apps. Definitely needs improvement.

It has helped me see what there is out there and the different prices from town to town, for my next journey of were I would be interested in living! Great tool! 😁

I am wondering the validity of advertising as I have found the same rental property on this site and a different site. One listed at $750 a month. The other at $1500 for the same property. How am I to identify the actual landlord vs a scammer? I don’t feel comfortable giving out my social security number to someone without knowing how secure my information is kept.

Huge question, major importance, and yet no way to filter out this option. Way, way to many apartments these days are income restricted. Which makes searching for new places to live near impossible in impoverished and/or rural areas. Use caution and make sure you figure out what is income restricted property(HUD) and what is not.

Wow RentApartmentsandHomes is GREAT honestly , can’t wait to move ❤️ most of the other apps have the same listings but everything here is be to my eye and beautiful homes RentApartmentsandHomes is so easy to work around makes shopping for my new home so fun 😊 200 stars and I never write reviews!

RentApartmentsandHomes was very easy to access especially for a person that’s not computer friendly I wish more was this simple.

Other than location all the information on here is wrong or out of date. Tried using it to find a place and everywhere it said had options didn’t and the prices were significantly wrong. Also missing tons of locations. App needs serious updates to the database to be relevant

RentApartmentsandHomes is cool, but the only thing thar I hate the most is if i go out of RentApartmentsandHomes for just a sec and come back to it all of my saved properties appear to be gone so I have to do a hard stop of RentApartmentsandHomes (close it out) then reopen it and clicked on saved homes again I really hate this and makes me waste so much time please fix this!!!!

So far, so good. I have not gotten an apartment yet, but I do like the way the website is laid out. The pictures, information, and contacts are easy to access. Thumbs up so far!

Ms. E

So many things… the filter doesn’t work and the pricing layout is deceptive, I’ll click on a property listed at $1250/mo but the available units are $1400+. The layout is strange, when I click on a property a little pin comes up that blocks other properties on the screen. Inventory is lacking - other apps show more choices. I’m going to delete it now and go back to… anything else, really

I’ve found RentApartmentsandHomes to be easier to navigate than other “rent hunters” site. They also seem to have more rental properties listed than other sites I’ve used.

It is very useful and helpful in searching and keeping everything organized.

Good app, but when I go to my saved locations every time I try to select a floor diagram or the map directions RentApartmentsandHomes crashes. Can only select those option on locations that I haven’t saved. Would really like it to be fixed.

Took me a while to figure out how to use but it’s a pretty good little app. I don’t like that you can’t narrow down your options, unless you can but I haven’t figured it out yet.

While RentApartmentsandHomes allowed me to apply the filters and pulled up listings I’d be interested in, not a single picture would load (arguably the most important component). Tried several times to load photos from any property and was not successful. I had hopes RentApartmentsandHomes would bring something others weren’t for me, but I’m better off sticking to Zillow

RentApartmentsandHomes is very easy to navigate through, making a sometimes already stressful time as moving can be much less stressful.

It’d be great if I could use it, but whenever I want to look at a floor plan RentApartmentsandHomes freezes. I tried to go to the website instead, but when I logged in none of the apartments I saved were there

Up to date quick responses 😊

Best site for setting filters to gain access to rentals specific to ones needs

I’ve emailed tons of properties from RentApartmentsandHomes and no one has responded. I’ve called a couple times and numbers on properties I tried say out of service. I can’t get in touch with any property of interest. I checked and the email address I used is correct. It can’t be normal to be emailing from RentApartmentsandHomes for a week and for no appointments yet, right?
