They took my husband money (we put the add together) for our rental property but them they started to ask for biometric identification after that. I think this was not fair, if anything like this, which people may not agree with, should be asked at front, not after taking people money. And sure there would be other ways to identify people! Struggling now and losing time to get a refund.

I listed my commercial sheds with Rent Better and have had absolutely no issues. I’m not sure why there are so many negative comments, as my experience has been consistently positive. I currently have two commercial sheds advertised through their platform, and the entire process took only about 10 minutes. Joining, uploading the required… Read more

documents, and verifying my property were all straightforward. Some of the comments I’ve seen are quite misleading. Rent Better’s customer portal is excellent. Very user-friendly and easy to navigate. You simply make the full payment, then upload your identification and property verification documents. Initially, I was hesitant when I noticed they requested an example such as a bank statement, which felt unusual, but as I continued, I found there were alternative identification options available, so it wasn’t an issue. For a one-off advertising fee of $450 plus a small ongoing fee of $9, Rent Better still works out to be around 40% more affordable than competitors like For Sale By Owner (FSBO). While FSBO provides a lease board, my experience with them was disappointing. They advertised that my property would be listed on four major sites but only listed it on two. A few months later, I discovered that my ad had dropped off entirely for some time, despite having paid for a 12-month listing. FSBO advised that the issue was due to an error with the commercial sites, and they expect users to log into their dated, slow system every few weeks to keep the listing active. This was really inconvenient and silly. When I queried the issue and provided feedback, I received several different explanations, none of which resolved the problem. Overall, Rent Better has been a far better platform, more reliable, more affordable, and far easier to use. I highly recommend giving them a try. You won’t be disappointed and will likely save money in the process.

No phone number, had to beg for a call. Asked them to adjust the rent payment date for my tenant, they never bothered to make the change. Rude over the phone, would rather pay a real waste agent. Platform limited.

I've been using the RentBetter platform for over three years now to self-manage my investment property, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The platform is incredibly easy to use, with a clean interface and a comprehensive range of features that make managing everything from listings to expenses and tenant bills seamless and efficient. One of the… Read more

standout aspects of RentBetter is their exceptional customer service. Every time I’ve had a question or needed support, the response has been prompt, professional, and genuinely helpful. It’s clear the team behind RentBetter is committed to supporting landlords and tenants alike—I've even received positive feedback from my tenants about how responsive and supportive the RentBetter team has been when they've had questions or needed assistance.

RentBetter has made self-managing my property straightforward and stress-free. I highly recommend it to any landlord looking for a reliable, user-friendly platform backed by outstanding service.

As self-managing landlord, I signed up for RentBetter and got an ad live on realestate.com.au, domain.com.au & rent.com.au within about 4 hours (it required manual verification that I own the property, which was quick and happened on Tuesday at 7pm, i.e. after regular business hours). I got a first application the same night. That person and a few… Read more

more then attended an inspection the following Saturday & I managed to sign a contract with one of them on Sunday. Really happy with the outcome & service.

I'm a landlord and know people who manage their properties themselves. they have spent so much time creating documents and managing their property but rentbetter saves you so much time and makes the accountant happy. on top every time i have had a query the customer service has exceeded expectation and can't speak more highly of Jodie. our tenant… Read more

was also apprehensive when we said we would self manage the property but since using rentbetter they have commented on how impressed they are with it. i can't rate highly enough.

Applicants beware! – I brought their attention to a clearly fake listing for which they said "not our responsibility". They ask for sensitive information like bank statements, IDs, payslips and they don't even say how secure this information is, they just pass it on to the person who listed the property even if not legitimate. As as an applicant, I would think twice about applying for a property through this unsecure platform.

Highly recommend for self-managing landlords – I have only just found out about this platform after finding it through Google and I'm incredibly impressed at the intuitiveness and ease of use of the platform. Traditionally I've relied on real estate agents to handle my property management and lease for my place over the past 5 years, but I'm pleasantly surprised with how fast it was to get… Read more

verified after providing documentation and get set up. The best features are having a centralised area to manage payments, receipts, tenancy documentation, repair requests and it'll definitely save some time and effort during tax time. The finance reporting is a nice touch to understand your incoming and outgoing costs

Couldn’t self lease without them! – I have been with RB for 2.5 years. From start to finish they have EVERYTHING covered with the self leasing of a property. Whenever I have something I don’t know how to handle they are at the end of an online chat and I am promptly answered with problem resolved within hours. I’ve just added my daughter’s property as they truly make what seemed… Read more

like a challenging task (self leasing) a simple one! I am very pleased I found them. They save us $1000s per year. We could not be any happier.

Rent better is really the best – I tell everyone I know with investment properties they need to use RentBetter - how easy and simple it makes the process and how much I saved using this amazing platform. We chose the property management option and this has made everything so seamless and easy, would highly recommend that option. I couldn't speak more highly of Jeremy and his team - excellent service and so helpful when I had questions.

Almost impossible to cancel – I would NEVER use this company again. It is almost impossible to cancel. Was unable to tenant the property, and was charged a monthly fee for Nothing. Took me 2 months to cancel and the person I was dealing with was unclear in communication and abrasive.

Fantastic service and the most helpful staff – After using traditional property managers over 7 years I found my property was being damaged and rent was not being paid. Rentbetter saves me money and once the property is set up the work is less than that required dealing with a traditional agency.
