Renters love VerticalRent

I pulled my rental history before applying and caught an old eviction that wasn't mine. Fixed it before any landlord saw it. This tool saved my application.

Found my roommate through VerticalRent in 3 days. We split a 2BR and each pay $650. Would've been paying $1,200 alone. Game changer.

John answered my question about my security deposit at 11pm on a Sunday. My landlord was trying to keep money they weren't entitled to. John knew exactly what the law said.
