Don't go for Verification or document verification with Roomies because only they will loot your money & they will say roomies have chosen to cancel your request, without any reason. Moreover, they don't even have customer support so eventually, you will end up with nothing but losing money. I spend money twice but no results. Go to any local agency for a background check or even for finding a room.
And yes, they'll say write us an email but GOD knows in which decade they'll respond.
I honestly don't know where to begin. I've been looking for a roommate for the past month on here. Out of the replies that I get, once I try to access them by phone off the website they go MIA it's so weird! I ended up finding a roommate off Facebook! I had someone reach out to me and worked out her move in date around early June. Then once it was time to exchange phone numbers, she wouldn't reply. I began trying to directly reach them by phone or reverse google them on linked in and such. I think they are all fake profiles honestly don't waste your time!
Over the weekend, I messaged a woman with a strange name, let's just call her "dolphin," looking for a roommate, and after 2.5 days, I had still heard nothing back, despite seeing she was online. I messaged her again to let her know she should've responded in that time. Then she called me a $#*!, which was weird because she was in her 30s, so like, act your age. So, in short, I don't like the website. The only people who have messaged me requesting to live with me are creepy old men & the aforementioned $#*!, dolphin.
I was extremely impressed with the level of professionalism and overall quality of the site. The design was user-friendly, making it easy to search for potential roommates and connect with them through the platform.
The website also had a variety of helpful features, such as a roommate matching algorithm. This helped me find a compatible roommate in a short amount of time. I appreciate the effort that went into creating such a comprehensive and helpful resource.
Additionally, the customer service team is responsive and helpful. Overall, I highly recommend roomies to anyone looking for a professional and reliable way to find a new roommate. It made the process so much easier and stress-free, and I am grateful for the service this page provides.
The set-up - structure of the website is excellent. The function of it could be greatly enhanced by the Site Mgr. Conducting a timely removal of people's ads for a room that have been up there for over 2-months. Required Identity Verification is a plus. Aside from that, great job.!
I found last year a roommate who stayed 13 months with us, a hardworking, decent guy, his stay worked out fine, but a lot of recent roommates who contacted us to rent room are not compatible, that is not Roomies.com's fault. Thank you Roomies, you are doing a good job! We recommend you to everyone.
The site may be fine, but be diligent with who you rent from in here. The lady I drove 2000 miles to move in with, didn't own the property, she leases it. She didn't want the owner to know. Just make sure you're dealing with an owner, not a tenant
This site is not well maintained. Most of the listings are no longer available. It is very frustrating to try to use these listings.
I posted a room for rent, and I found the good applicant for this room. My room was rented out after I posted a couple weeks.
The Roomies site is really helpful. I will definitely spread the words to friends.
I've used Roomies.com to find 3 roommates in the past 3 years…all my applicants have been extraordinary, quality people. Easiest site to use, with high visibility and great responses. Thank you Roomies.com!
Easy to sign up and get an account setup. I liked that I didn't really need to do too much, but of course it is great that it verifies you. Able to search and either team up or find a room.
This website is the reason why I met my current roommate. Its true of all roommate websites that people will ghost you or not reach out. That says more about how other people are than the actual website. I'm not sure how the verification works, but with the basic account I was able to find people who were willing to live with me. Unfortunately, scammers exist everywhere you look for this time of thing, but the website itself worked out well for me.
Due to life's circumstances a longtime roomie left to move on to another life with a partner. Shortly thereafter another longtime roomie passed, I was devastated. I placed ads on several sites which were free to use without requiring you to pay extra! I placed the ad on Roomies and found 2 new roommates here! Sparks flew and we knew! Its truly been a good situation for all concerned! Personalities have blended well and everyone truly likes the others! It's a great environment! Thanks Roomies! Great site!
Easy to use, and quality of users exceeded my expectations. I was able to quickly navigate the site, and felt that the integration with credit checks led to a secure way to share sensitive information
I found my new roommate on this site. It is safe and secure. About half of the people I messaged didn't reply but you'll run into that on any site. I found 2 potential roommates on this site and one worked out and we move into our new place. I would recommend this site to anyone looking to rent a room or find a roommate!
First off,I moved in on the 10th of the month and he claimed I owed him for the whole month. Not to mention he asked for the rent a week before it was due.
He failed to mention that he had his daughter living there,shooting up and leaving needles and blood all over the house.
My belongings came up missing.clothes,cologne and food.
He let me slide on paying half the deposit and I over payed by a week on the last month I stayed there. He refused to pay my deposit back and claims I stole hair dryers from him. I don't have hair.
I wouldn't recommend letting my animal stay there. Much less a person.
This isn't a mark against this man,personally he and I were ok with each other.but I'm still missing my stuff and he hasn't paid me my money that he owes me. It's been 2 months since I left.
Roomies will ban your account for no reason. I have subscribed 3 times and verified with a legit phone number and immediately get banned. I am doing nothing wrong but messaging prospective roommates and follow all the rules. Message tech, get zero support. I guess this is a way of them hoping youll pay in order to use their site
Absolutely do not pay. Its supposed to be free but whats the point if you get banned for no reason.
Fabricated profiles of landlords and roommates here. No one is real her. One roommate ( Female) reach me to check my flat, I found her very suspicious and nontruthful, couldn't consider her as a tenant. It haunted me when i noticed same girl after few days stalking me with two more guys. After that I immediately deleted my account from this site. Huh
I paid 30$ on this site to get my property posted. I waisted my money after a week or so and didn't get any offer at all. Sone one lied about me and the support sucks team banned my account. It's so so frustrating and waste of time. Be careful guys this crap will take your money abd waste your time. I emailed the support team to get my account back and still never heard from them.
I was going to get a place with my daughter she broke my heart and ran off with her boyfriend is not good for her but I found a roomie on here a single mom of a todler and she's awesome so God put her in my path I believe to happy up
My heart and to help this sweet young lady
Answer: Legit. It does offer a place for roommates to find someone to share an apartment or a house
Answer: Hi Kathleen, Credit checks are generally completed within 24 hours. Background checks can vary depending on the county courthouse. Some users experience a faster turnaround, and others may experience longer delays. Most do receive their results within 3-5 days. Hope this helps, The Roomies Team
Answer: Hi Kathleen, Thank you for your inquiry. There are two ways users can initiate background checks. Option 1. A person can purchase the check and assign it to a potential roommate. The potential roommate can then submit their information and they will both receive the report once completed. Option 2. The person completing the background check can purchase and submit their info. (This can be either the person posting a room or a potential renter). Once the check is completed, they can share the report with others. At the moment, our credit checks can only be initiated by the person who wants to complete them. Keep in mind that some potential renters may also request that the person renting a room have a credit check or background check completed if they will be living in the home. I hope this answers your question. If you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our support team via email at hello@roomies.com. All the best, The Roomies Team
