Rennit NYC is very unprofessional, invasive, and shady. In September 2025 I applied for an apt and…read moreone of their leasing agents never actually returned multiple requests to see the apt. I happened to see people viewing the apt near my home, and I walked in. After seeing the apt, the agent took my number and sent me the link to apply, which I did promptly. I submitted W2, photo ID, 3 pay stubs, portfoilo statements, recent bank statements. Once docs were submitted they demanded a Zoom meeting where I was asked to send a copy of proof of rent payments for my current apt. Once they got this , they asked for 2 more bank statements. (The other 2 bank statements and proof of rent payments were NOT a requirement of the application.) A week later, my application was denied and credit was never run. This was an invasive, discriminatory practice. My credit score is fine and income is more than sufficient. I would not apply with this business again. They are discriminatory and shady.

At 6pm I arrived at the apartment. The agent did not show up despite my multiple attempts of calling and texting and emailing. No show, no response, no apologies. He just disappeared. And he seems to be the owner of this agency - I wouldn't trust someone who is so irresponsible with my property. In the end I had to call the tenant who very kindly told me that the viewing was cancelled.

I found out about "Roomeze" by using the "Roomi" app. One of the people I requested to message on…read morethere, happened to work for Roomeze. This was the first time I've heard of Roomeze and being that it was very close to the date I had planned to move to the city, it was very convenient. Brittany Rose, the roommate match maker who I was in contact with throughout the entire process was helpful and available throughout the process. She answered my calls/texts and questions that I had at various times of the day and kept me updated with the files and documents I needed to have for the landlord. You can tell that she truly wanted to help me anyway she could, which was especially nice since I am not a NY native. She was great, however I believe that the Roomeze businesses as a whole (not specifically blaming Brittany or any of the reps I talked to) , partner landlords, and guarantor company's should be on one accord and follow a semi standard procedure that states things such as; what the three parties offer, the things that can make you less qualified for getting a room, the exact or rough estimate of a cost and explanation of certain "fees" and items that you would need to move in, etc. Instead of adding on fees and documents at the last minute for reasons that some of the reps (from either party) couldn't explain or make a correlation of the fees to the services previously offered.

Pretty nightmare experience with this "roommate matching service". I was in a situation where I…read moreneeded a new place to live in less than a month and didn't have a lot of options. I was so relieved when I thought I had found an apartment that was exactly what I wanted, but not so thrilled when the agent sprung the Roomeze literature on me after the showing. I've always been skeptical about companies like Roomeze in NYC and after the experience I've had, I wish I listened to my gut and looked elsewhere. Firstly, their roommate matching "process" is non-existent. You're completely going in blind to 12 months with strangers just like you'd be if you were moving into any other usual Craigslist apartment. They show you some pictures and bios of the random people they've thrown you together with and that's it. Other than that you won't actually meet the strangers that will be your roommates for the next year until you're all sitting in the Roomeze office while your agent hovers over you pressuring you all to sign the lease. That brings me to the second most important point. The Roomeze process. All you need to know is that once you put in your deposit, you're screwed. Once they have your deposit, Roomeze dangles it over your head to coerce you into doing anything they want because their terms and conditions will prevent you from ever seeing that money again if you disagree with anything they force you into. My experience was, after my agent suddenly bumped my rent up $25 more than we agreed, i started having doubts. Then they filled one of the rooms in the apartment with somebody i definitely didn't think i'd fit with and had some more doubts. No matter what I said to my agent, he just ignored me and tried to steamroll me into coming into the Roomeze office and signing the lease. After expressing all my doubts about the situation my agent started to harass me daily about the lease. After reviewing the lease, you'd have to be crazy to sign it. First thing I noticed on the agreements were the words "jointly and severally responsible". What that means is, if any of the randos Roomeze throws in with you stops paying rent, you're on the hook for that rent. No way was I signing that, not with 3 strangers I barely knew. After I refused to sign my agent went on a guilt trip to the point I had to block his number because the texts and the calls just wouldn't stop. Can't emphasize enough, do not get involved with Roomeze. Totally wasted my time and money and stressed me out for weeks, don't let the same happen to you.

We ran across an ad for a 2 bedroom in Brooklyn late one evening, and I messaged Debby inquiring about it--fully expecting to hear from her the next morning. She not only responded right away--but spoke with me on the phone within minutes!! She gave me all of the deets on the apartment, and even offered another apartment to consider as well. Within the next few days, my boyfriend went to view both apartments and we ended up closing on a nice 2 bedroom that we're so excited about! Debby was responsive, attentive and made sure to get back to us as quickly as possible! If we ever need another apartment--she would be the first person we'll call! Highly recommend--ask for Debby!

I scheduled a meeting day and time with Adam. The morning of, I messaged Adam and confirmed that we were meeting that day. He confirmed. I then ubered 30 minutes to the location just to be told by Adam that he does not have the key to the unit nor was the landlord in the building to open the door, to show the apartment. Why would you confirm the showing, if you knew you did not have the key to the unit? Why not contact me prior to me paying for an uber and driving 30 mins out of my way, to tell me you didn't have the key? I emailed Ivana and told her what had happened and asked her to correct this and never heard back from her. Extremely unprofessional. Large part of me believes they are racist. Adam waited until I arrived at the location, to see what I looked like and just claimed he didn't have the key. Only explanation I can think of.

We had been living in Greenpoint since 2002, but moved upstate in 2017. After four years of that, Covid and all, we knew we belonged in Greenpoint and wanted our kids to continue grow up there. Living in the city has its challenges, but re-locating back to the city with growing kids is even more challenging. Right away, after our first phone call with Iwona, she suggested the very apartment we chose. It couldn't have been easier! Highly recommend!

The lease signing went smoothly even though Pat was unavailable due to a personal issue and had John finish the process with us. The only hitch was a miscommunication about the application fee which we thought was waived, but Pat rectified the issue by only having us pay half the fee.
