    Frequently Asked Questions

    Have questions about how Rented works? Find answers to some of the most common questions below.

    How does the bidding process work?

    When you find a property you're interested in, you can submit a bid for your preferred monthly rent. You can bid above or below the asking price. The landlord reviews all bids and selects the most suitable tenant, not necessarily the highest bidder.

    Is my bid binding?

    Yes, when you submit a bid, you are making a commitment to rent the property at that price if selected. However, you can withdraw your bid before the bidding deadline, typically 48 hours before the landlord makes their decision.

    Do I need to register to place a bid?

    Yes, you need to create an account on Rented to place bids. This requires basic personal information and verification of your identity to ensure the security and integrity of the bidding process.

    Can I see other people's bids?

    You can see the number of bids and their amounts but not the personal details of other bidders. This transparency helps you make informed decisions while protecting everyone's privacy.

    What happens after my bid is accepted?

    If your bid is accepted, you'll receive a notification and the next steps to complete the rental process. This includes signing the tenancy agreement, paying the deposit, and arranging the move-in date.

    Are there any fees for using Rented?

    Rented is free for tenants to browse and bid on properties. Landlords pay a small fee to list their properties and access our tenant verification services. There are no hidden charges or commissions.
