Report a concerning rental listing
Report the listing and what concerns you, then keep the saved reference.
On this page
Keep the public listing URL and relevant messages. A public listing concern can be reported without submitting a rental application.
Step 1: Keep the listing details
Save the public listing URL, address and unit, relevant messages and any receipts. Be cautious about unusually low prices, pressure to pay before a viewing, requests to wire money, or someone who will not verify their identity or connection to the rental.
Step 2: Open Report this listing
On the public listing, choose Report this listing. Describe the concern in What looks wrong? Add Your email if you want a follow-up. If the listing is unavailable, use Report a listing on Avoid scams and provide Listing URL or What looks suspicious?.
Step 3: Send and keep the result
Choose Send report. Read the result and keep the reference when shown. If sending fails, follow the displayed error; check whether a report was saved before sending it again. A reference records the report, not a completed investigation or removal.
Step 4: Respond to possible harm
Stop sending money or personal information to the suspected scammer. Keep the original evidence. If money or account details were shared, contact the bank or payment provider through a known channel. Alert affected people if their information was shared, and report suspected fraud to the appropriate authorities or consumer-protection agency.
Check the result
- The report identifies the actual public listing and concern without private credentials.
FAQs
Does reporting automatically remove the listing?
No. The concern needs review. A report reference does not confirm listing removal, an account penalty or recovered money.
What information belongs in the report?
Include the listing and a clear account of what happened. Do not include SSNs, passwords, verification codes or full card or bank credentials.
Does Rentari decide whether I get the rental?
The landlord or property manager makes the rental decision. Reporting a concern is separate from applying for the property.
