Extremely frustrating experience
Extremely frustrating experience. I paid for a monthly subscription so I could tour homes, and shortly after paying my account was suddenly paused. When I contacted customer service, they refused to lift the pause even though they had already taken my money.
What’s even worse is that this was not the first time this happened. Previously, I was actually advised by their own support team to create a new account using a different email address to resolve the issue. I followed their instructions, only for the new account to end up locked as well.
So essentially I paid for a service that I was never able to use, even after following the directions given by their own support staff.
If there are restrictions that can cause accounts to be paused or locked, that should be clearly explained before charging customers. Taking someone’s money while preventing them from using the platform is incredibly frustrating.
Based on my experience, I would strongly caution anyone considering using this service.

We appreciate you sharing your feedback about the unit layout as well. Comments like this help highlight where additional clarity can be helpful for future tours.
Terrible
Do. Not like this lock or the app.
I should be able to unlock with Bluetooth anywhere. Not standing in front of it.
I don’t like how it auto locks the dead bolt every time I leave. The app is terrible. I don’t trust anything that requires batteries, when I need to get inside my property.
Just give me a lock with a key.
There’s no information or where to get a so called key fob. The only thing this lock is good for is a fishing weight.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience with the lock and app did not meet expectations.
Our system is designed to provide secure and controlled property access, which is why certain features—such as proximity requirements and automatic locking—are built in for safety and property protection. That said, we understand that preferences and use cases can vary, and feedback like yours is helpful as we continue improving both the hardware and the app experience.

Horrible horrible I hope my comment…
Horrible horrible I hope my comment will save you from a drive I drove 30 minutes out too look at a house just to find out that they switched the lock and the property manager did not update it on their end so I was not able to look inside the house waiting 40 minutes for customer service and stood outside in the cold after the number hung up on my twice . Went up the road to look at another house with this same company just for them to tell me another bull story on how I couldn’t view the property .

Most ridiculous experience ever
Most ridiculous experience ever. The lockbox will just die, you won't know it, prospects will get mad b/c they drove to the house & couldn't get access. Then you tell the company & that takes forever for them to understand what you mean. Finally you will reach someone who will send you a "paddle lock" to power on the lockbox temporarily to remove it. Then the codes you get to do so won't work. So I've just been driving back & forth from my office to the home trying to remove this lockbox. The entire process has been going on for weeks. It's extremely hard to reach anyone on the phone. They are very unorganized, customer support is awful, the whole company is just awful. Check out the BBB reviews. Can't leave one on Google, wonder why??? Because they would be just as bad. I'm shocked they have 3.7 stars on here. Avoid this company unless if you want a huge headache and to waste a TON of your time!

The errors returned doesn't help and help line doesn't answer during daytime
Being able to view the homes I'm most interested in on my own timeframe.
The things I dislike about the app is when it just hangs and the logo just swirls and if and/or it gives a error the message returned isn't the actual reason that's causing the app not to function correctly. Then I have to troubleshoot the issues myself because the AI assist doesn't help and when I called the help line the phone rang then played music for over 10 minutes before I decided to hangup and then had to rely on myself to figure out and resolve the issue myself.

Thank you for the kind feedback! We're glad the self-tour scheduling and access process was easy and that the instructions worked well for you.
We also understand that having the option to speak with someone directly can be helpful when you're ready to move forward. The property's leasing team should be able to assist with any questions and help guide you through the next steps.
Thanks again for sharing your experience!
Horrible experience
I would give this business and app a 0 rating if I could. Tried to set up the self guided tour and was inbale
to access the apartment. Did not receive a code via text or
email to login. The apartment complex probably just lost a customer due to this process and now my id and picture are online. TERRIBLE experience and calling the leasing office and getting the Rently group was HORRIBLE.

Unprofessional and Unreliable
Unprofessional and Unreliable
I had an incredibly frustrating experience with both Rently and Scott Properties.
I scheduled a self-guided tour of a property on Sept 23 and was told I would receive an access code just before my appointment. I arrived at the property, checked in, but never received the code. After being on hold with Rently's customer service for over 30 minutes with no answer, I left the property.
The next day Sept 24, the realtor directed me back to Rently, who claimed the issue had been fixed. Believing them, I returned for a second viewing, only to have the exact same problem—no code was sent. After calling Rently a second time, they simply told me to contact the realtor again. The lack of communication and basic functionality between these two companies is shocking.
I never got to view the property and am now moving on. If this is how disorganized and unhelpful they are during the initial viewing process, I can only imagine what it would be like to be a tenant. I definitely will not be recommending.

At Rently, we have have facilitated millions of tours, by far successfully . We understand that you had a difficult experience and hope to make it right.
Unfortunately, I don't have direct details related to your interactions. I would however, like to make sure you get a refund if you were not able to self tour any properties. Please contact us directly by emailing help@rently.com. and add "Director of Support" in the subject line.
We hope to hear from and learn more from you.
