Reviews for Apartment for Rent, Flat for Rent in Mumbai, Landlord Reviews

In the Indian renting ecosystem which is dominated by local brokers, Rentbaba is our attempt to bring in more transparency in it. Rentbaba is a rental flats and apartment reviews site where tenants appraise their rental apartments and rate them on multiple useful parameters. Around 80% of tenants in Indian metro cities want to talk to the previous tenants before moving into a new house on rent. Rentbaba aims to create a community of tenants and bring in experience sharing culture among the tenants.

Why reviews are important?Reviews are like an appraisal of the rental stay experience. Good rental stay experiences must be rewarded with positive reviews and bad experiences must be brought to notice. Tenants, while inspecting the property before renting, may miss out on many important parameters at first glance. Also, there are some parameters like power and water supply, general freedom of staying in the apartment which tenants get to know only after moving into the property. Reviews eliminate this information gap by bringing tenants on a common page and encourage them to share their experience. The purpose is to bring more transparency to the renting ecosystem.

How to post a review?Reviews can be posted on https://www.rentbaba.com/post-your-rental-flat-review/Posting apartment reviews are very simple and can be done in three quick steps. It hardly takes a few minutes. It requires rating the house, apartment and landlord on some parameters. Tenants can also write multiple reviews based on their renting history. Please note that all the reviews are posted as anonymous reviews without disclosing the reviewer.

How to search for a review?Reviews are accessible to everyone and can be searched easily by using the apartment, locality or city name.

What are the review parameters?The most common concerns and issues for tenants form the review parameters. The reviews are categorized into Apartment or HOsuing Society, House or Flat, and Landlord or Houseowner. Apartment reviews have important information like water and power supply, apartment amenities like- clubhouse, security, etc.House review is house specific and includes ratings for issues like water seepage, neighbors, ventilation, mobile networks in the house, etc.Landlord reviews are mostly focused on the landlord flexibility and security deposit refund.In addition to these parameterized ratings, tenants also have the option of highlighting any other issues that are not covered in the above parameters. Based on the ratings provided by tenanst a final review score is calculated which is displayed on the review snapshot.

Are reviews genuine?Rentbaba reviews are posted by the tenants and we don’t compromise the authenticity of reviews. Each and every review is subject to scrutiny and is removed if found not genuine. We have an inbuilt algorithm based on the digital footprint and filter out the spammy reviews and also block those users permanently. Also, we don’t promote any builder or society with positive reviews for promotions.

We believe that this information would bring in more transparency in the renting ecosystem and help create a balance in favor of tenants in a largely broker and landlord dominated renting ecosystem. We have already started getting positive feedback from our users and they are the testimony of our efforts. Tenants have highlighted different issues like- safety and security, child-friendly, bachelor friendly apartments.
