Why RentIntel
Know the home before you sign the lease.
Renting is one of the biggest commitments most Australians make — and you make it after a ten-minute inspection, with almost nothing to go on. RentIntel gives you the information that was missing: honest reviews of real properties, from the tenants who lived there.
Renting is a blind bet
10 min
is all the time you usually get to inspect a property before committing to a 12-month lease.
They see you
Agents and landlords check your rental history, references and income. You see nothing about theirs.
Your bond
A neglected property or an unresponsive landlord can cost you your bond, your time and your peace of mind.
The rental market runs on an information imbalance. RentIntel exists to even it out — so the next tenant walks in knowing what the last one learned the hard way.
How it helps
- 1
Search the address
Reviews are anchored to a specific property — not a vague suburb vibe. Type the address and see exactly what renters before you said.
- 2
See the score
Every property gets sub-scores for maintenance, communication, move-in condition, noise, safety, value and bond return — at a glance.
- 3
Read honest reviews
Real experiences from past tenants: how fast repairs got done, whether bonds came back in full, what the landlord was actually like.
- 4
Add your own
Lived somewhere? Leave a review in minutes and help the next person renting in your street avoid a bad surprise.
Built to be fair
Your identity is protected
You review under a pseudonym you choose — never your real name. Delete your account and your reviews stay up anonymised, so other tenants still benefit.
Landlords get a right of reply
Property owners can claim a property and respond to reviews. They appear as “Property Owner”, keeping the focus on the home, not the person.
Australian by design
Built around the Australian Privacy Principles, with reviews moderated when flagged. Your data rights — access and erasure — are one click away.
