Scam
June 1, 2020

I didn't even finish signing up and I already knew this was a scam. As soon as I submitted my phone number, I recieved a call from a lady. She tells me to hurry up and finish filling out the rest of my info so they can send me the listings, but before I could even respond to her, she hung up. I did not finish filling out the rest of my info but I started getting all kinds of real estate marketing spam through text messages. Stay clear from these marketing spammers.

Just say no...
July 15, 2017

I'm an older man on SSI with one negative on my FICO and a score just over 700. Banin Rostislav wanted to sign me up with a credit repair company. Uhhhh... nyet. So he just hung up.

Here's what I don't get about all those who were charged, sometimes more than once... why did you not call the issuer of your credit cards to reverse the charges? Yes, they'll investigate... just steer them to this site! The benefit to using a credit card is you have recourse in cases of fraud... which is this company's only mission.

NOT A RENT TO OWN SITE
December 13, 2018

You can use Zillow, Trulia, Redfin, Homesnap, or just get a realtor all for free. This was a waste of my hard earned money and time. If you are looking for foreclosures or REOs knock yourself out, but even with that just use other free home buying sites.

I set up account got a place but not through them, Went back and talked to some one and cancelled my account. The next month they charged me again. I told them that I had cancelled the month before and they could not find a record of cancelllation. Said they would put back money and cancell me it took 4 days. It didn't take 4 days to pull it out! Don't do business with these people

Scammer
July 7, 2018

I am coming out of chapter 13 and no one will rent to me. I tried rentoown and signed up with Lexington law and paid 149. Of course they didn't and couldn't help me because I have no credit. I was never sent a link to available homes and felt that the only reason or purpose was to sign up with Lexington law. I canceled mt Lexington agreement and will try other avenues. Don't sign up with Lexington. This is a scam

Once you get on their call list you will be called 7 to 8 times a day through an automated system and you can't even tell anyone to take you off the freaking list. They also call with different local numbers in my area so I have to pick up due to me having a teen and trying to conduct business. It's the most annoying freaking system ever. Beware! This is definitely a scam! When I first considered I did research and absolutely no one said on their reviews they helped them get a home. They will try to get you to pay to get your credit fix WHICH I already had but they were too consistent that I get it anyway. When I rejected their program all I get is calls ALL DAY LONG AND EVERY DAY!

SCAM - Creepy Calls
September 21, 2020

I was browsing for new homes and places to rent (obviously) and ultimately decided not to go forward with this site. However, I keep on getting calls from random numbers all across the country.

They go like this: I answer the call, there is a long pause, then a presumably female person on the other end says "Hi... (my name)? This is_____ from RentToOwn, how are you today?" And I hang up. The kicker? If I call the number back, there is no ringing-nothing. It IMMEDIATELY says the exact same thing, just: "Hi... (my name)? This is_____ from RentToOwn, how are you today?"

It's the creepiest thing, and I keep blocking the numbers left and right, but they are always different. I can't get into my account to cancel it, and even if I could I doubt it would make a difference since they've probably sold my number hundreds of times already.

I don't know what to do, but I am warning you now. DO NOT SIGN UP OR EVEN CLICK ON THEIR WEBSITE. They WILL mess with you and it's disgusting.

Pay Attention
February 19, 2016

It clearly states...$1 fee to cancel your trial. Never states the payment price for the trial. Haven't yet used them most likely won't. It would help people if you READ!

Checked box regarding service dogs. All the questions were regarding mental health.
I have a mobility dog for MS.
If you check no on all the question re: mental health, they say you do not qualify. WHAT THE HELL IS THIS ABOUT!?

I work for a Real Estate Company and we are not affiliated with Rent to Own in any way. All of our listings are on this site with FALSE, MISLEADING information. They are pulling information from somewhere without permission and adding FALSE information to the listings to entice you to join. You should not have to PAY a cent to search for properties or rental properties - call a real estate agent and get accurate information and representation. I rate this site -10 BAD.
