  • Rentable.co

6/18/22

It seems like a well intentioned site, the layout seems good, however the response received from the request I submitted, clearly outlined a demonstration of deflection of responsibility, at least from one perspective. Responsibility related to actual site content. While the intentions of this site are to give you accurate information. Pictures of a security fence on a property where there is no security fence could be demonstrated as the responsibility of the customer content uploader. It could also be described as a "property managers" responsibility to be the content uploader. Perhaps a completely arguable justification of honesty when used in conjunction with a data field on their website located in the listings floorplans section of certain rental properties that should accurately display a specific dollar amount instead only displaying the data "$ask". So, Rentable.co will be able to conveniently explain their role and responsibility when it comes to why that is, which was explained above. As if any user will know how many dollars $ask is. Well, at least when you read the next row in the submitted dataset it might just say "1725+" which is definitely another direct representation of how the "+" when added to a specific amount is more accurate and more honest than when a specific amount is listed. Maybe the same justification could be used to argue the absence of a period in a set of 4 digits because the result would be the same amount of money. Maybe even more arguable would be the validity of honesty in advertising being a great concept, but only on Tuesdays. I did like the look and feel of their site though.

I left a review on their website that followed all guidelines. Their response of denial of my review was not useful or helpful to me the consumer for giving truthful and accurate information to fellow consumers about an apartment complex on their site. Please do not use this site to find an apartment if you want to deal with a company that may look a honesty as just a feeling and therefore should be seperated from business, because it is an emotion, claiming to do the right thing.

Tip for consumers:
Try other apartment finding websites, this one has inconsistancies in its decision making capabilities.

Products used:
I tried to leave a valid review for an apartment that followed all the guidlines, the review was returned stating that it did not meet the guidlines but with no specific reason. Businesses can depend on accurate reviews, an honest review that followed guidlines and is returned without any reasonable explanation is the business choice and right, but it was not very helpful for me in my effort to accurately and honestly inform other potential customers of the truth.

AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS! TOTAL WASTE OF TIME. 2 HOURS TO DEACTIVATE A LISTING IS RIDICULOUS!
