Roomies

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

Paid the $5 to verify myself for purposes of renting out an empty room in our house. There's no reliable processes for screening a tenant other than DIY verification of their documents, income, criminal record, credit or lack thereof, etc. The website does not assist with this in any meaningful way.

We ended up renting an empty room w closet to a local 20 yr old female who agreed to pay $500/m, follow house rules, etc. said she had a small dog that was quiet, didn't chew stuff, etc. was clean. ALL LIES. First day in weird mutt had mange, a foul gland odor problem, chewed up my wife's $100 ear buds and then screamed like a human baby being tortured whenever her owner was gone. Neighbors nextdoor called animal control on us because of her. Eventually she was forced to send the mutt away cause she couldn't even afford shots at the vet due being terminated from her job (security breach, theft?) 3 days after moving in. More follows...

While she was unemployed me and wife fed her out of our pantry, helped her get a free bed, even got her a new job, and then not only did she never finished paying for the 1st month in full but simply refused to pay anything else going forward into the 2nd month up to the time she left. She kept testing our limits by bringing different men up to the house to drink alcohol (underage) and smoke weed, tried to have parties on our driveway, etc. all in breach of lease up to the point she suddenly left overnight with $550 in unpaid dues for allotted dwelling time on the very last day she was supposed to pay or else. We had already given her 3 weeks grace period and she wanted us to wait a whole other month while she already displayed a willful intent not to pay. Later we found out that this girl had mentally convinced herself that our other roommate (who has nothing to do with her, financially) already 'paid me' enough money and that basically I didn't 'deserve a $1000/m from the both of them combined' and that furthermore she 'deserved' to stay here for free cause she had 'befriended' or socially engineered my wife and the other roommate into somehow weaseling herself into that position... all this literally true in her mind as asinine and ridiculous as it sounds.

The day that girl came back to pick up the rest of her stuff (kept the room filthy, stuff like stale food and used menstrual pads just shoved underneath her bed found when we cleaned it out) my wife and our other roommate were ready to put hands on her. I'm just glad she's gone for good and won't further damage our household. Our only recourse was to submit her debt to collections cause otherwise it's not even worth our time trying to take her to small claims court.

Lesson learned. I may never use roomies again. It's literally a place (other than Craigslist) for the lowest tier of renters who probably wouldn't qualify to rent a week to week trailer on their own, let alone an apartment nor a house, so they're there looking for someone naive enough to let them in so they can ruin them.

It was good we found connection with each other. Thanks for providing this awesome platform. It would be nice if Roomies have features to help confirming or proofing a tenant is a quality tenant and may vice versa too.

Continual breakins and trespassing onto property by houseless and criminals. Landlord ignores safety issues and deletes relevant clips of trespassing on his security cams to avoid liability. Cops called. Dangerous conditions in house made me end up in ER. Got termination notice after I was injured on the property due to unsafe living conditions. Avoid this place, you will get hurt or killed.

This site is not well maintained. Most of the listings are no longer available. It is very frustrating to try to use these listings.

Owner Francisca wants someone to control...has cameras everywhere. Ordered me around doing chores that her or her son could do but she is sooo lazy, very loud and very deceptive. A wily personality. Police have been here twice already and I have only been here 2 weeks...said she doesn't get along well with women but I am a man and trust me, she's off her rocker. I am studying yoga, that's my demeanor! Good luck to the next victim. Room was great though with adjacent bathroom. Can't say anything bad about accommodations. If you don't do all her housework for her...you're toast. She's a real hypocrite...I don't judge because I have been unstable at one point...and karma is a $#*!! Hope this helps. Namaskaram!

We had a room for rent in our house and within a day we made our selection from numerous candidates.

When i first moved into Anthony's place everything was fine, but as he gets more comfortable with you he'll show his true colors. The room shares a wall with his and they are very very thin, you'll notice this immediately when you hear his TV pounding on the wall at 3am when you're trying to sleep. On the website it shows picture of a bathroom but that bathroom isn't yours its his, he neglects to show of a picture of the bathroom that you'll be sharing. Staying on the topic of the bathroom, he also has a small dog and you leave that bathroom door open the dog will go pee in there almost every time, Anthony also has a habit of opening the door to let it "air out" and then doesn't shut it which leads to his dog peeing on the floor. One time me and our other roommate had a meeting with him and he told us that he didn't open the bathroom door when he was the only other person home and jokingly mentioned that his dog could've jumped and opened it, don't let him gaslight you into believing that you left it open. Anthony also works from home so he basically home all the time so you'll be seeing him a lot even when you don't want to.

One thing you'll notice as living there is how he wakes up, he had a very very loud alarm that goes off every morning because he's a heavy sleeper. Do not underestimate how loud it is and how annoying it is when you work second shift and you're trying to sleep because this dude can't find another way to wake up in the morning. One time while living there he went away for the weekend and forgot to turn off his alarm off, it went off for an 1hr and 15min before turning itself off. He won't let you go into his room because he locks it, i think he purposely does this because he honestly doesn't care what you think or do because you live in his place.

On the point of who owns the place, Anthony will tell you that he owns it, which he does not own it, hes just a tenant just like you or the other person that lives there. The person that owns it is BABAJAN PROPERTIES LLC and thats literally just a person that formed an LLC because he owns Unit B3 and the one above it. On my lease that i signed Anthony stated that he owns it and told me numerous times that he owns the property when in reality he does not.

The moment that i moved into that room the only window in said room leaked profusely from the rain, and it took the entire time i was living there to get it "fixed". It would leak from the top of the window all the way down underneath the paint where you could see water bubbles, the amount of towels i had to put on the windowsill was enough to get them soaked. They did do repairs to where it did stop leaking but i feel those repairs are a temporary fix, they didn't take out the old wet wood (which most likely has mold on it) and do proper repairs they just put a bandaid on it.

Just to keep this review short do not rent a room with this guy, he a terrible person and doesn't care about anyone but himself.

Roomies was very helpful to me. I was renting my room and found a housemate not on Roomies but I did have a number of possibilities here. I really appreciate the fact that I get a background check credit check and identity verification here so that people would know that I was trustworthy. These checks were all reasonably priced and I could ask my potential housemate to get the checks done here. Also, I received a number of possibilities most days and could contact them and most people did actually contact me back unlike on other sites. My room was at the high end of, the rental prices here, but still, it was great, and I think that the listings were very accurate. Thank you very much. I will use it again when I need to.

No one gets back to a potential renter. This business is a scam. The rooms that seem legit are never available.

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

Roomies was helpful but can improve in some ways:
- Allow users to select multiple filters in a category (ex. Be able to select both females preferred and anyone welcome)
- Option to delete listing / search for roommate without deleting profile, I think this can be a cause of people not responding which can be very frustrating
- Option to share videos/pictures in the chat to see room or share other info that is shared better visually
- Option to create groupchats on roomies

I legitimately signed up because I desperately need a room as rentals are scarce and rents have been grossly escalated. I was forced out of my place due to high rents and no maintenance or repairs, plus we were faced with 13 pages of addendums which was a totally comply or get out ultimatum. One place wanted $675 in advance as a cleaning fee in case we skip out during the night. Others are forcing renters to set up e- funds transfers from our bank accounts to pay rent, no other options, so next time we have a disaster, you may not eat but they'll have your rent payment. So anyways in light of the current situation, I expect posters to be honest and prompt. If your listing is still up but you already have a roomie, be considerate and take down your posting. If someone inquired about your spot and it's no longer available, be courteous and say so, don't leave them hanging waiting for a response. On 3 separate occasions, I have not gotten a response. This is discourteous and you shouldn't be allowed to post if you can't respond to inquiries. It's the posters' responsibility to remove the add so do so when it is no longer available. Plain and simple- a little respect. People don't like to be toyed with.

Twice now I have found the place of my dreams using Roomies. And get this. Each time it gets better and better.

I have used Roomies twice successfully. I get good responses on the site. However there are scammers on the site using fake identities.

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.

Outstanding no questions asked. 2nd to none pleasant service. Food is wonderful, upscale place for dinner. R.D The manager, deserves to be the mgr. Heaven was very pleasant and true waitress. Definitely recommend this place for high class food.

I live at 311 Tolland Street, in East Hartford, Ct. I have lived here for over a year, and the landlord has not only asked about my sexual preferences. Also, he is a compulsive liar who tried to bamboozle me out of November 17,2023 rent payment of $180. I pay $180 at a weekly frequency, and the landlord tried to pull a fast one by saying that I issued him a bad check, and he said that I would not have the receipt. Then, I shamed him by not only providing the receipt, but also unraveling that he was the one who actually changed the check. He was furious when I told him this. He actually got the cop involved; however, he felt like a fool when he realized how prepared I was in dealing with the situation. He was embarrassed that I revealed his scheme. After 11/24/2023 payment, he never accepted payment from me. I would drop the payment and then after work the next day, I would find the money order, sometimes, even my credit union bank check with his name on it, he rejected. Then, I would get an eviction paper with the same date 11/24/2023, for no payment of rent. I was surprised and shocked. I had an epiphany moment, I suddenly realized that this man was doing this to me, because I have a nice car. He told me he does not like me; I work two jobs and go to school. I am never there. Since I have been here, i have not once brought a visitor here. My other roommates don't drive, and we have never had an issue with each other. The landlord does not work, so he sits home and watch people. He threw nails at his neighbor's car and then wanted to discuss it with us. I thought he is sick. I wake up sometimes to elongated nails under my car. I am tired of trying to pay this landlord, while he rejects my payments and tell everyone that i don't pay him. I videoed dropping his payment. The next day the payment whined up in my room. This person is very evil. Word, sound, and power.

It isn't very thorough, considering i had to relocate 4 months into the lease. Just made the experience a little less enjoyable.

I am not saying that roomies is a bad company. I am saying that one of the people running a room on there is a real weirdo! If you happen to go on this website and come across a listing by John Wagner do not do it! Unless of course you want somebody coming in your room whenever they want to harassing you and making your life miserable! He has it listed under Leo and Remi's room so be very careful!

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 just came to look a little for future reference at the moment. The search process seemed a little awkward at first but eventually I got used to it. I didn't spend a lot of time because I was just testing the waters at the moment.

I literally did nothing wrong. Just logged in, and got banned out of no where. I tried emailing them and no response. Oh well. Im going to use FB groups.
