Our Rental Revolution Journey π‘β¨
In 2021, three friends set out to find apartments in a new city. What we thought would be an exciting fresh start turned into a 3-month nightmare of:
π΄ Endless scrolling through outdated listings
π΄ “Available” apartments that were already rented
π΄ Hidden fees that doubled initial quotes
π΄ Landlords who vanished after deposits
π₯ Our breaking point came when we discovered the “luxury condo” we’d paid a deposit for didn’t actually exist. That moment sparked our mission to create RentBae.
Why RentBae Works Differently
We built the platform we wish existed:
β
Real Verification: Every listing undergoes 3-step verification
β
Transparent Pricing: All costs shown upfront in simple charts
β
Instant Updates: Listings removed within 1 hour of being rented
β
Human Support: Actual humans answer calls in under 2 minutes
Today, we’ve helped over 150,000 people find homes without the hassle, but our commitment remains the same – making rentals work for people, not profits.
