Definitely Recommend!

"I used SmartRenter when my goddaughter was moving to San Francisco. Once we started using SmartRenter we were able to spot the scams immediately. In the end, we found her a great place she loves. The SmartRenter reports gives you all the information of a property to spot a scam or bad landlord. It was worth her safety to use SmartRenter for every potential place we say. Happy and safe ending!"

SmartRenter Saved Us

"My husband was relocated to the L.A. area. Being unfamiliar with the area we needed to find a place quickly. Using SmartRenter helped us identify those shoddy landlords or scams (where someone rents you someone elses home).
It's easy to use and cheap. I'm grateful for SmartRenter. Not sure what kind of situation we may have ended up in without it.
The reports outline the owner, and if there are any liens or possibly foreclosure on the property. We were able to avoid these and have been in our place for over a year now. Grateful we found a home we can stay in with the help of SmartRenter.
When doing your homework have SmartRenter help you out. Can't recommend it enough."
— Sheila G, North Hollywood, CA
