HousingAnywhere

I've just lost 650€ but at least they didn't get the full ≈2,150 they were after. Have you ever heard of a 450€ administration fee for a two month stay at a 475€/month room? i sure haven't. they will take the conversation off the platform to whatsapp or email and youll never get them to reply in the app. The red flag was waved and i check online and oh boy did they scam me good, can't find a single review on reddit that isn't saying to stay away. If you're reading this Yvan you should be ashamed.

This company is horrible. They make it seem like they are there to protect tenants, but really they are enabling slumlords and predatory landlords an opportunity to target vulnerable tenants. I tried using this app to find an apartment in Berlin. I walked into a dingy, dirty, water damaged dump that looked nothing like the photos advertised. The only means of egress during a fire or emergency was the main door which was partially blocked by the bed. You have to stand-sideways and shuffle to get past. I have lived in some disgusting apartments in Boston and NYC but this takes the cake. Apparently, this slumlord (Jörn) makes a habit out of not cleaning between tenants and seeing who complains. He probably expects to get away with it since the building seems to cater mainly students and expats. Stay away from any property at 35 Colbestraße, and away from this dingy app.

There are many fees with this app and very expensive. I also had an issue with a place I stayed in Madrid. This place had said it had air conditioning but it did not. I was there for 2 months in the hot summer heat and really struggled to even be inside at all. It was over 100 degrees some of the days and being inside the apartment felt like a sauna, I was non stop sweating and showering with cold water for 2 months. I was not given any sort of compensation or discount for this major issue and I will never be using this app again.
