Reviews for HotPads Rent Apartments

I wish there was a way Hotpads would REQUIRE the Renters to specify what kind of parking is available with the unit in their ad. They keep using the term "off-street" parking available. They should specify if it is a parking lot, garage or public street parking. The term off street parking allows them to mask whether there are parking spaces available or not. Sometimes they refer to off street meaning you won't have to park on the street and other times it means city street parking.

I honestly really love this app! It's beyond accurate! I get all the same listings as all the other places including rooms for rent! I do wish they still had the for sale listings option but love it either way. You can look via list view or map view. Which is my favorite because then I can see what areas the apartments are in! Filters are super great too! Some listings even will say if there is a move in special too! Which is pretty cool!

Better than other realty apps. The listings here tend to be more detailed and the advanced filtering options are a plus. They let you remove specific listings from your feed too, which is great for me as I have lots of search alerts set up and get tons of listings each day, so it's easier to clean it up once Ive gone through it.

The best app for finding a rental. All the info is right on the listing so you won't need to click each one to see if your drive time is doable. Square feet, pet policy, etc is right there. I also used 5 other sites but none were as easy to use. You are able to also quickly click on "map" to easily view the satellite image of the property. In my case it was important to have grass for our dog in the yard- in the desert some yards are literally rocks.

I found my amazing rental house on hotpads! I love how the app is more user-friendly than any of the others I've seen. It's very easy to scroll around on the map each day and see the new rentals that meet your search criteria. It shows the new rentals in red and it shows your favorites in yellow and it shows the ones you've already looked at in grey.

I find the app very useful, compared with other rental apps. I have found HotPads to be more up to date with the listing, and the information details are more accurate than most similar apps. I would like it if I could add a filter to include or exclude areas in my searches. Am still looking for a 2bd x (1 or 2 bath) it has been frustrating. The HotPads app has made things a little bit easier.

It's not the perfect app, but it's super clutch. Twice in the past 5 years I've needed to transition from a relationship. HP has made it very easy both times. They can be better about demanding units taking accurate/up to date photos. But I know I can always count on HP to help me find somewhere to land, regardless of what state I end up in

There's a surprising number of options for what I was originally looking for. Trying to move, especially when you're new to the area, is difficult. At least for me. But this makes it a bit easier because you can contact the seller, they all usually email or message you back pretty quickly, and you can find something that's in your price range.

It fails to adequately find any rentals in your price range, with prices being 3-400$ higher than the listed price. Oftentimes you message people and they dont even know their listing is on hotpads or what hotpads is. The prices are always wrong, and the amenities are 90%of the time incorrect. It crashes often, especially when looking at messages. Worst app ever, tbh.

I would give no stars if I could. Don't waste your time and money! You pay the fees and never get a response from the property manager. The background/credit check required by landlords is not good for all listings on hotpads as stated. Each landlord/property management company requires additional, high fees and they can't access the reports you pay for through hotpads. I feel hotpads is a scam and I want my application fee back, as I got absolutely NOTHING for my $90. A total rip off. BEWARE!!
