Help Rent Cafe
Unable to correct simple AI generated mistakes within reasonable time before critical lease signing dates. Computer software program not designed to accommodate 1099 incomes from retirees. Instead computer software program designed for employed people which is outdated. Need major business restructuring and development.

It is just easy to work with .
Exceedingly Annoying
RentCafe moved to a password-less login a while back, and it is singularly the most annoying thing I have experienced online since the popup ads of the late 1990's. If my bank can use a password login, so can a rent payment portal.

Late payment/glitch/Senior living paycheck to paycheck
I’ve never had any issues with the RentCafe Autopay app since setting it up a couple of years ago. Payments for January and February 2026 went through without any problems. However, in March, I received a notice from the Groves of Delray office stating that my rent was late and that I owed a $100 late fee.
What’s frustrating is that I had more than enough funds in my bank account to cover the payment. The office told me I needed to set up Autopay again, but that doesn’t make sense—if it was already set up and worked fine in January and February, why would March be any different? It seems like there may have been a system glitch, and there’s no guarantee it couldn’t happen again.
Now I’m out $100 and just hoping this doesn’t happen in the future. 🤞🤞🤞

WHEN I CLICK ON PAYMENT IN MY ACCOUNT
WHEN I CLICK ON PAYMENT IN MY ACCOUNT, THE SYSTEM DISPLAYS ANOTHER PERSON'S CHECKING ACCOUNT. THIS GIVE ME ACCESS TO THEIR ACCOUNT WHERE I COULD PAY MY BILL FROM THEIR ACCOUNT.

From my experience, the information presented on this company’s website does not appear to be accurate. The reviews seem heavily curated and don’t reflect the actual living environment residents may encounter after moving in. Properties are presented as safe and well-maintained, but the reality can be very different.
This lack of transparency is concerning and potentially misleading for prospective renters who rely on these platforms to make informed decisions. Allowing inaccurate or filtered reviews to shape public perception raises serious concerns about fairness and accountability. I believe situations like this deserve closer oversight to protect renters. ⚠️🏠
