It's a job in itself weeding out the scammers, but once you find legitimate people, this resource is clutch. Saved my lady and I from being homeless.
I have had good experiences with this site a couple of times in the past, many years ago, so I decided to use it again.This experience however, has been horrible.I contacted customer service to let them know that the home I found on their site and ended up moving into, was not safe for future renters. Several things about their ad were not accurate or truthful. The landlord had been inappropriate and aggressive from the moment I signed the lease, and was attempting to rent out other rooms as well. I was concerned another renter would be duped. Customer service I told me if I sent them proof they would address it. I sent them several screenshots of weird, aggressive texts sent by my landlord and didn't hear back from roomies.com for several days. When they finally responded they told me it wasn't their problem, they weren't going to help me, and I should go to the local courthouse to find out what my rights were. They allowed my landlord to keep her ad up and it is still up several months later. The staff at roomies.com is astoundingly unprofessional and completely negligent in their consideration for the safety of renters. I can only imagine how many thousands of terrifying landlords they have been warned about all over the country and they allow them to keep their ads up. This site is horribly unsafe for renters because of the behavior of roomies.com employees. Your safety is at risk if you use roomies.com!
Update: Inappropriate behavior by a landlord towards a tenant is not a disagreement. Deceitful ads are not monitored or reviewed by the roomies team at all when reported-that is a lie. After asking for evidence and it was provided, it was specified to me by a roomies employee that you only care about their on site activity-not their behavior in the home with a tenant. That can be horrible and roomies.com will happily still leave the ad up. Your response should tell the public everything they need to know.
Roomies is a great site to find roommates because of it's diversity and quality of people who use the site
This girl is not only my newfound best friend but she's willing to pay for all my debts! Thank you roomies! Thank you Jesus!
I have been successful in finding good roommates for my place and so I do recommend people using roomies. I have used them several times. Try them.
I have used Roomies twice successfully. I get good responses on the site. However there are scammers on the site using fake identities.
I like the Roomies platform for the integration of their background check and ability to communicate to prospect roomies.
Thanks for using Roomies, I got two great tenants from this site. In the future I will be using this site.
Thanks

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

Hi Rebecca,
Roomies puts a lot of time and effort into keeping the community as safe and secure as possible. When reporting another Roomies member, we ask for supporting evidence to ensure our security team makes the proper decision. All reports are reviewed and noted. We understand how frustrating it can be to have a dispute or disagreement with another roommate. We will continue to monitor the account reported.
All the best,
The Roomies Team
