Deposit disputes. Tenants who trash a place and vanish. Landlords who ghost when the geyser bursts. RentalRep fixes the one thing every lease is missing: proof of what actually happened.
Free to join. No card required. Launching in Johannesburg first.
TPN and TransUnion can blacklist a tenant. But neither tells a tenant whether their prospective landlord disappears when the geyser bursts. And neither helps an agency know if the applicant they're about to approve has trashed three properties.
RentalRep closes that gap, for all three sides of every rental relationship.
“My lease had a clause letting the landlord charge up to three months' rent if I cancelled early, even with proper notice, if they couldn't relet the place fast enough. I only found out after I'd already lost my deposit.”
Tenant, KwaZulu-Natal“Our tenant left after three months owing two months' rent. Their reference checked out perfectly.”
Landlord, Cape Town“If I could see a tenant's actual payment and behaviour history from previous tenancies, I'd make better placements, and so would they.”
Letting Agent, PretoriaLike Uber's two-way rating system, but built specifically for the South African rental market, with one critical addition: every review is confirmed against a real lease agreement.
Check your lease for risky clauses before you sign. Then log your deposit, your move-in condition, and every maintenance request the moment they happen, a timestamped paper trail that backs you up if things go wrong, even before anyone else has joined. Then rate your landlord and property once the lease ends.
Score tenants on rent reliability, property care, and conduct. A verified track record helps good tenants stand out from day one.
Agencies earn verified scores from both tenants and landlords. Stand out on professionalism, transparency, and client satisfaction.
Fake reviews undermine every rating platform. RentalRep solves this at the source, you can only review someone you've actually rented with, verified against a real lease agreement.
Either party uploads or links their signed lease agreement. Personal details are protected under POPIA.
The other party verifies the tenancy relationship. Both must agree before either can review.
Once a tenancy ends, the review window opens for both parties simultaneously, preventing early pressure or retaliation.
Verified scores are cumulative. Your RentalRep score reflects your full rental history, not just one tenancy.
RentalRep gives your agency a verified public scorecard, built from real client reviews. Stand out from competitors who rely only on word-of-mouth and Google reviews that anyone can write.
For tenants and landlords: Free tier available. Pro plans from R49/month. Only users with a 7.5+ score can promote listings.
