Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 71 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Many customers reported unexpected recurring charges, typically around £35-£40, after an initial small payment for a trial or property contact details. People felt these subscriptions were unauthorized, with critical auto-renewal information often obscured. Reviewers frequently encountered misleading website content, including outdated or non-existent property listings copied from other platforms. Additionally, contacting the company proved difficult, as phone numbers were unreachable and emails went unanswered. Many described the service as unsatisfactory, with some reporting issues where card details were used for additional debits without clear authorization.

Don't bother wasting time/money feels like a scam

Absolutely waste of time and money. Not suitable for low income persons, all rooms to rent expect you to pay 5x the rent in advanced. If that were possible then wouldn't be hunting on a rubbisly created website.

Doesn't give you a choice to pick more than one location, doesn't keep or save the filters picked.

Overall, waste of time, effort and money. Don't pay for it you'll be kicking yourself.
Feel like the other reviews or testimonies are fake!

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience with Renthero was frustrating and we completely understand your concerns.

We would like to clarify that the initial payment provides temporary access as part of a clearly stated trial period. As explained during registration and in the confirmation email sent immediately after sign-up, the membership automatically continues at the standard rate if it is not cancelled before the trial period ends.

We’re sorry to hear that the filtering option didn’t work as expected for you. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and helps us identify areas where we can continue improving the platform.

We requested your details via Trustpilot’s secure system, but since we did not receive a response from you, we are currently unable to take further action on this matter. We appreciate your feedback, and if you would still like us to assist further, you can reach our support team by completing the contact form available in the T&Cs on our website.

Kind regards,
Renthero Team

I just have signed up with Rent hero UK, they have sent me an add for a one-bed flat in London, but it is not saying if pets are allowed, and only shows a photo of the toilet, before I will pay £7 for 7 days, I need to know is the kitchen separate from the living room, and if pets are allowed, as I am not paying to contact a landlord, if I do not have enough info regarding the property.

Hello ,

Thank you for sharing your perspective. We understand that our subscription model may not be suitable for everyone, as it grants access to all advertisers' data rather than just one. However, many of our satisfied customers appreciate this approach, as it provides them with comprehensive information and options when seeking accommodation. With a paid subscription, you gain access to landlords' details and additional information. We appreciate your input!

Best regards,

I have just signed up for a seven day…

I have just signed up for a seven day free trial and though it says I have full access to contact the property owner, every time I try it takes me back to the page it did in the beginning to start a free trial entering my bank details all over again saying I need to do this in order to contact the property owner. I immediately tried to cancel and it will not let me as it says I do not have a subscription but that it will renew on the 2nd April (seven days time) what an absolute joke of a site!
I will be making phone calls to my banking legal team in the morning!

I used the free trial and then cancelled after 1 day but I was still charged. I had a few emails to say I must make payment or legal action will be made. BUT customer service worked well to resolve my issue so Customer service was good.

Fraudulently listing my property for rent

The agent currently advertising my property for rent has just found it fraudulently listed on RentHero, at a lower price, using their professional images. This is no doubt to lull some poor individuals into paying a 'holding fee' or fake deposit that they will most certainly never see again. Clearly, RentHero have little in the way of roust checks to ensure ownership, enabling scammers to advertise. There are no contact details and a very poor website that makes this difficult to report. Avoid.

Felling scammed

Can you tell me why you are listing properties, that you have not had instruction for? And then listing them at a lower price?

I can only presume this is a ploy to get people to register and so you have their private contact information.

Upadate... saying i'm "not happy with your service" implies I asked you to do something. I have not. You are copying advertising details for properties you do not have instruction for.

A disgrace

A disgrace. Signed up for the trial and didn't want to continue because the several places I looked at where posted over a year ago so no use to me whatsoever.
Then once my trial ended they send me an email threatening to transfer my account to a debt collection agency! Because I have not paid for a subscription that I do not want.
How about have some sense and if you can't take money the subscription ends. It's not hard to do!

SCAM

SCAM. I cancelled on the 15th September and they tried to remove money today. I managed to block them but do not give them your bank details.
I received nothing from them too Absolute waste of time.

The situation has got worse. I am emailed twice a day and I have told them the date I sent the email and that I have the evidence of the cancellation. This is definitely a scam. Don't touch them.

Every single property I viewed took me to the same estate agent’s page and the properties were no longer on the market (one property I clicked on was over a year old). Did not help my search at all.
