The problem

SA's rental market runs on rumours and references.

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.

"The landlord kept our deposit for 'repairs' that were never done. We had no way to warn anyone."

Tenant, Sandton, Johannesburg

"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, Pretoria
How it works

Mutual ratings. Verified by lease.

Like 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.

Why it's different

No lease, no review. Simple.

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.

1

Submit your lease

Either party uploads or links their signed lease agreement. Personal details are protected under POPIA.

2

Both parties confirm

The other party verifies the tenancy relationship. Both must agree before either can review.

3

Reviews unlock at lease end

Once a tenancy ends, the review window opens for both parties simultaneously, preventing early pressure or retaliation.

4

Score builds your reputation

Verified scores are cumulative. Your RentalRep score reflects your full rental history, not just one tenancy.
