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.

We appreciate the feedback. Please note, Rently does not serve as the owner/operator of a property, therefore, we do not place the lockbox. Rather, Rently is the conduit by which owners/operators may advertise their homes and leverage self guided touring solutions (including lockboxes). If there is a specific address you're referring to, please share via hello@rently.com and we will pass this feedback along to the owner/operator.

What a horrible app

What a horrible app. You have to give way too much personal information. The app is glitchy. It took about 15 minutes of refreshing and resetting the app to get it to work. The sales individual from the building even said it doesn't work very well. Lost connection during the tour so couldn't even finish the tour. If another building asks me to use this app I would just walk out.

Do not recommend

Do not recommend. Unprofessional, sloppy, poorly documented. Find a different provider. Paid for the service AND bought the special Rently lock because you can’t use any but theirs, and weeks later self-showing is still not available for my property.

We are incredibly sorry to hear Rently's offerings did not meet your needs. Your Client Success Manager (CSM) has reached out to discuss a pathway forward. Should you wish to consider alternative options to a Rently lockbox, we encourage you to discuss Rently's "Bring Your Own Box" offering with your CSM.

Racial profiling?

I've used Rently several times in the past to do self-guided tours of homes when I was looking in the past and had no issues, but now that they force you to share your location, upload your biometric data in the form of selfies, I'm pretty sure I was racially profiled. I set up one account on my iPhone-my business phone-using one email address and that number, but realized I would rather use my Samsung personal phone and, since I couldn't use the same email address again, it was a new combination number & email address. I thought it was completely harmless. Only I can prove it was an innocent mistake, but I couldn't get it to work at a property I was standing in front of and after about 5 phone calls with Rently's offshore call center and one of the property management companies that couldn't (or wouldn't) help me at all from Austin, Texas (I'm in Georgia), I was told I was just BANNED from not just that property management company, but TWO others that allow self-tours (Mainstreet Renewal, FirstKey & Progress Residential). It didn't occur to me until yesterday that since they have multiple selfies of me, it's clear it's the same person EACH time trying to view the properties that match the SAME drivers license that I also had to send a picture of, but they still insist there is nothing I can do to get off the naughty list. I've worked in tech before-there IS a way. I can't help wondering if it would be different if I had a different skin tone. It's really okay - it also concerns me that a 3rd party controls access to properties managed by another out-of-state company so I would hate to have an issue when I actually LIVE there. Maybe they need a local office but that would be too much like right. Things are hard enough in life to have to deal with stuff like this. I'm over it. Best of luck to everyone else.

We are incredibly sorry to hear of this experience and assure you Rently does not discriminate. To support our app, Rently utilizes automated software in certain instances and actively monitors for multiple accounts/duplicate PII data.We recognize the automated systems we employ to help manage these efforts don’t always get it right.

Our leadership team would like to learn more about your interaction. Utilizing the information provided, Team Rently will do our best to indicate a pathway forward. Should you wish to elaborate, we've requested further information via Trustpilot

Thanks for your input, but please remember Rently does not serve as the owner/operator of the home. Any feedback on the state of the home or home itself should be directed at the owner/operator. Rently serves as the conduit by which owners/operators advertise their homes.

Wishing you all the best in your home search!
