Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 69 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Many customers reported being charged unexpected subscription fees, often £35, after signing up for a low-cost trial, with crucial information about automatic renewals often hidden in terms and conditions. People frequently found property listings to be outdated, inaccurate, or directing them to agents instead of private landlords as advertised, leading to frustration. Additionally, consumers faced significant challenges trying to contact the company, with phone numbers being unreachable and emails going unanswered. However, some customers also noted that their properties were listed on the website, with details and photos used in a way that raised concerns.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your concerns. We’re sorry to hear this has been your experience.

To clarify, the initial payment is part of a trial, and the subscription continues only if it is not cancelled before the trial ends. This information is shown during sign-up and in the confirmation email. That said, we understand this may not have been clear to you, and we’re sorry for any frustration caused.

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.

No assistance!

I wish I could give the organisation a zero rating. I did register with the firm to get a number for a potential landlord. I had to pay £1, which the number never went through. I had to contact the agency themselves, who confirmed the property in question was no longer available. I assume their website was not updated to reflect that.
I moved on house searching, only to notice the same firm took £35 from me after 7 days.
I emailed them asking for a refund, but was met with a moot response. I sent another email asking the matter to be treated as a complaint & asked information on how the matter could be escalated, if not resolved. I was instead sent a long winded email supporting their terms and conditions. The message at the end of the day was ; You are not getting your money back!
Am more bothered about their principles when dealing with customers not the amount & will sternly advice anyone be very careful doing business with them. I am very appalled & will definitely never use them again.

Hello Patrick,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re genuinely sorry to hear how frustrated you feel, and we understand why this situation was disappointing.

To briefly clarify, RentHero operates as an aggregator, meaning listings are provided by landlords and agencies and may occasionally become unavailable before they are updated. We conduct our own internal checks however we do encourage users to report outdated listings so we can act quickly.

Regarding the charge, the initial payment is part of a trial, and the subscription renewal and timing are displayed during sign-up and covered in our Terms & Conditions.

That said, we’re sorry if our communication felt impersonal or unhelpful — that’s not the experience we aim to provide. We would still like the opportunity to review your case properly and address your concerns directly.

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.

Hello Raj,

We’re sorry to read your review and understand how frustrating this situation feels.

To clarify, the initial offer is a trial, and the monthly subscription price and renewal terms are clearly shown during sign-up and outlined in our Terms & Conditions before payment is completed. Subscriptions can be cancelled at any time through the account settings or by contacting the support team, and once cancelled, no further charges should occur beyond any billing period already in progress.

Unexpected £35 charge

They charged my card £35 for a premium subscription I never signed up for. I only paid £1 for registration and didn't agree to any other payments being taken off my card.

Hello Abidemi,

Thank you for sharing your concerns, and we’re sorry for the confusion this has caused.

To clarify, the initial payment is part of a trial offer for our Premium service. During registration, this is explained as an introductory trial that automatically continues as a subscription unless it’s cancelled before the trial ends. No additional charges are taken without this agreement being presented during sign-up.

I was wrongly charged for subscription…

I was wrongly charged for subscription and cannot get hold of this company now at all. The mobile number on their website when you call it says ''This number cannot be found'' I tried accessing my account, it has been deactivated, i tried the online chat, the Bot is not available right now. This is after they have taken £35.00 from my bank. Ive called my bank, they cannot cancel or reverse the pending payment to Rent Hero! Extremely frustrating but this is what happens with making card payments online these days, the bank warned me to try and avoid making 1 off payments i.e. with Rent Hero was £1, that was they have your bank details and can attempt to take money every month if you do not ask your bank to put a ''Stop Recurring payment'' on your bank account. DO NOT USE THEM, AVOID AVOID AVOID!

Hello Tasher,

We’re really sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating this situation must feel.

To clarify, once a subscription is cancelled, no further charges should be taken. If a charge appears after cancellation, it may relate to a billing period that was already active before the cancellation took effect, or possibly a second subscription created under a different email address. This is something we can review for you directly.

We do not block or deactivate accounts following payment, and we’re sorry if you experienced difficulties reaching us. Our customer support team can always be contacted via the support form on our website, even if you’re unable to access your account.

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback — we’re sorry for the frustration this has caused.

RentHero aggregates listings from external advertisers, and while we monitor content, availability can change quickly. If a listing is outdated, user reports help us remove it promptly.

The initial charge is part of the trial sign-up, and subscription fees only apply if the trial continues. If you believe there have been incorrect or repeated charges, we’d like to look into this for you.

This product is a scam

This product is a scam. It makes you pay €40 a month for links to ads on third-party websites that it doesn't even bother to check are still valid. Most of the time, it leads to inexisting web pages or outdated rental ads.

RentHero brings together rental listings from third-party sources to make searching easier in one place. While we do our best to monitor listings, availability is managed by the advertisers themselves, and some ads may unfortunately become outdated. When this happens, user reports really help us remove them quickly and improve the service.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience. We’d like to clarify that once a subscription is cancelled, no further charges should occur. If payments continued, this may relate to an active billing period prior to cancellation.

Accounts are not blocked after sign-up, and users retain access according to their subscription status. We take claims like this seriously and would like to review what happened in your case.

Hello Emma,

Thank you for sharing your experience.

We requested and received your contact details via Trustpilot’s secure system and had the opportunity to reach out to you by email. Unfortunately, we did not receive a reply.

In our message, we believe we clearly explained that your subscription was successfully cancelled at the time of the request and within the trial period, meaning that you were not charged for any renewals or subsequent subscription fees.

We hope that you will consider updating your review to reflect the correct experience and service received.

If you wish, you can still reply to our email, and we will be more than happy to clarify any misunderstandings.

Pay to search properties?

I wondered why the rent being offered was low, knowing the state of Londons housing crisis, and look there it is, costs money to contact the landlord, no thanks, I knew it seemed to good to be true. That's a red flag I don't need to go further.

And this was one of the suggestions sites from a council advice list, the council who are almost as useless as this site, giving out sites that charge or are riddled with adverts.

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective.

We understand your frustration, especially given the current housing situation in London. To clarify, RentHero is a subscription-based platform, and this is communicated during registration before any payment is made. The subscription is required to contact advertisers and access premium features.

We work with a network of trusted partners, private landlords, and agencies who publish their listings on our site. Please note that the content of each listing is provided and managed by the property owner or advertiser, and therefore remains their responsibility. However, if any listing appears incorrect or misleading, we encourage users to report it so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

Don’t subscribe!!

Tried looking on every website for a home that suits our wants and needs list but no luck.
Found this site and signed up to the subscription and found our home! It’s very expensive though if you don’t remember to cancel before the 7 days!
When I was speaking to the estate agent about how I found the home, they were shocked that it appeared on this site and viewers had to sign up to a subscription to view it.

I am incredibly happy when I found it and thought this was the way forward in the future to find homes however after the estate agent told me it was free on other sites (I just couldn’t find them despite it being in the exact area code I was looking) I was very disappointed

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!
