The Good

Search Filter Options
Virtual Tour Feature
Landlord/Property Manager Tools

Search Filter Options

Potential tenants can narrow their search across a number of different categories to ensure they find the exact right space for them:

Dwelling Type — includes apartment complex, home, condo, or townhome options
Lifestyle — includes options catered to students, seniors, short-term, military, and corporate housing
Price — set your minimum and maximum monthly rental budget
Size — including number of bedrooms, as well as actual square footage

Any apartment hunter who visits Apartments.com can also filter a search by available amenities (in-unit washer/dryer, fitness center, pet-friendly, etc.) as well as by specific keywords, and a property's star rating as reported by actual tenants.

Virtual Tour Feature

Another useful feature on Apartments.com is its 3D tour feature, which allows potential tenants to explore a potential living space from the convenience of their computer or smart device. A potential renter can take a closer look at an apartment, home, or other dwelling using the following virtual modes:

Dollhouse Mode — gives you a three-dimensional cross section of the space, showing you how all the rooms connect, and the relative size of each room compared to other spaces in the apartment
Floor Plan Mode — a more traditional approach, this mode offers a top-down view of the apartment or condo
Measurement Mode — using the ruler icon, users can take actual measurements of the space to determine just how much room is available to them. This is a great feature if you're curious whether that sofa will fit in the living room.
Virtual Tour — much like the 3D tour, which allows users to view the physical layout of the home from the inside, the VR tour lets you view the apartment as if you're actually there (requires a VR headset).

Landlord/Property Manager Tools

Apartments.com is not only a useful resource for renters, but it also provides a number of helpful tools for landlords. Landlords can easily add their rental property to Apartments.com's database, and well as the following:

Develop online rental applications
Conduct tenant screening
Create rental lease forms
Automate rent collection
Respond to apartment reviews publicly

The Bad

License
Alleged Negative Review Suppression

License

Since they don't use agents, realtors or brokers, no licensing is required. This allows for no commission fees or acquisition costs for renters. By interviewing everyone from brokers to owners and property managers, Apartment.com makes sure their data is up-to-date, trusted and reliable. The downside is that Apartments.com does not broker, lease, or sublease apartments directly and is not a part to any transaction between landlords and renters. So, Apartments.com does not (a) guarantee or ensure any apartment or any transaction between a renter and landlord, (b) collect or process payment or execute any lease or sublease documentation on behalf of renters or landlords, or (c) broker, lease, or sublease or offer to broker, lease or sublease, or own any apartments. You are personally in charge of inspecting any apartment advertised for rent prior to signing any lease documentation. If you do not want to take on all these responsibilities you must go and hire another company, or real estate agent, to help you close the deal you want.

Alleged Negative Review Suppression

Several renters who submitted verified Apartments.com reviews to our site reported that their review had been deleted, despite meeting word count and verification requirements. Apartments.com does mention on its help center that its review moderation guidelines will not take down a review purely because it is negative. A cursory check of random listings on the site confirm the presence of one-star reviews, so it's possible that the site's review moderation process be more exclusionary than that of other real estate search websites.

gavel

The Bottom Line

For renters seeking apartments or condos, Apartment.com is recommended. This is especially true for millennials and tech-savvy individuals who enjoy using mobile devices and apps. Keep in mind that if you use this site you are solely responsible for making deals with landlords/rental owners and whatever comes along thereafter.

There are a lot of fraud listings on the website. The website does not backup tenants who are scammed by listings on their site. Terrible customer support. They really don't care about what happens if there was a fraudulent listing on their site. Their response, here's a link for things to watch out for but that link was only given after complaining. I would be very careful getting an apartment with this website and go through all of the verification needed on your own since this site does not.

Complete disconnection between the landlord and the company, I was going through the review process the landlord was inexperienced and seemed like had no guidance from apartments.com on how to treat and applying tenant. When getting into a new home it should be a pleasant and exciting experience not one that feels like you're being interrogated. I understand there are verifications that need to happen but there needs to be some training from apartments.com with their landlords on how to treat people and what's appropriate to do and what's not appropriate. Going on to someone's personal Facebook page and asking someone personal questions about what they've posted is a little bit ridiculous. Edgecliff condominiums in Louisville.

Their review system for apartments is borderline fraudulent. Came across a complex with all 1 start reviews but their rating said "mixed reviews" and they gave it 3.8 stars. Their filter options will show you apartments that are out of your budget based on your criteria. I.e. if you search for a 2br that is a max if $1200 a month, they will show you complexes with studio apartments that are under $1200 a month, but 2 bed rooms that are like close to $2k.

In the Milwaukee area I've never found a single apartments.com listing that was accurate. Every single time I've inquired about availability I've found that the apartment was either not available at all or a completely different price / layout. I've also found that landlords never post any pictures of the actual apartment. Given that the interface is bloated and laggy you're much better off using Craigslist to find where the apartments may be located then going to the management companies website itself.

I like the function to use apartments.com as a tool to find an apartment. However, I tried to post fair, honest, true reviews of my current and past place I live and it was denied for "not meeting guidelines". This is bogus because I did meet guidelines, I explained myself when I made mention of positive or negative experiences at my current residence. Since apartments.com does not allow me to post fair, honest, true reviews I can no longer trust that they're offering fair, honest and true listings. There's no use to finding a apartments available nearby if the reviews are skewed against the tenant.

Apartments.com is a fraud and is paid by the owners of the Apartment complexes. I tried to leave a review about The [email protected] and they did not print the review. The review was in total guideline of the website and it was fair and honest. They will only have old bad reviews on their site for any complex they list and it will be maybe 1 or 2 at most. My neighbor in the same complex The [email protected] also tried to post a review and it was in guideline of the website with only 2 stars and it was short but honest and they did not print the review. Very dishonest site for renters to shop on as far as reviews. We took it one step further and we asked her son who lives at the same complex to write a review just to see if his would be printed and it was printed by Apartments.com because he gave it 5 stars and only positive feedback. The review he left was not how he really felt about The [email protected] but we wanted to see if it was going to get printed unlike or 2 negative reviews and it was! Do not go by reviews on Apartment.com it is all cherry picked reviews with a bad one thrown in for good measure.

We listed our rental properties on Apartments.com for the past year. Apartments.com suddenly de-activated our listings this past week. After several unresolved requests to [email protected] to re-activate the listings a sales person called to let me know that he would work with support to resolve the issue. The issue was still not resolved after almost a week. The sales person got me on a conference call with his manager to let me know that they had discontinue the free listings and that he would be sending me a proposal for their services. Is this how small landlords wish to be treated? Needless to say, there is no good reason to use Apartments.com. Their listing rates are no where commensurate with the value received and I have no confidence in a company that treats their clients this way.

Our company was previously on Cozy.com till they sold to Apartments.com. I've had multiple issues as an admin. I've had to use the owners log-in because he is the only one with access to the properties. It always makes me verify with code to his email, when owner isn't available to forward me code, its useless! I've attempted to create my own profile, but now I have to wait for "approval" for each individual property. 2nd major issue is the hold times! I cannot be on hold for over an hour, I end up having to hang up and try again. After the 2nd day of calling multiples time, I finally got someone after 40 min. First thing employee said "if we get disconnected, is this a good phone number to call? I said yes - all of a sudden it hangs up. No call back! Now I'm back on hold which is EXTREAMLY frustrating. The phone call is for something I should be able to do online (renew lease) but it does not allow me to! Now I'm stuck on hold because it wont allow tenants to pay rent.

Brumbaugh Properties LLC Troy, OH

I am a landlord that recently started using apartments.com and have used them several times. I work very hard to follow all applicable laws. I have found several ways they are making following the law extremely difficult. 1. I am not allowed to include my written tenant selection criteria as it mentions that I do not accept people with criminal backgrounds if it is of a “sexual nature” they will not let the work sex be in the listing. It is proper business practice to have written tenant selection criteria to show you are following all fair housing laws. As I only do business in person I have overcome my concerns but the fact that I give everyone a written copy so even though I have my criteria on Zillow I am still treating everyone the same. 2. I have to be very careful every tome I am on the site to not accidentally activate online applications as it is alway in your face trying to trick you to select it. Again I have a paper application and a policy of first come first serve and I do all my own background checks thru one company so I am sure I have measured everyone by the same exact criteria. If someone uses an application with different questions or formed thru a different company for background checks and is therefore not measured exactly the same I could be guilty of a fair housing violation. If one screening company checks a source that statistically has more negative information on blacks than on whites that can and has been declared racist by regulatory agencies. I am done using them! Terrible customer service and terrible ability to do my job right.

Scam. I contacted Apartments.com in May of 2020 to let them know that 8 out of the 10 properties I contacted were NOT for rent and these listings were obviously not verified. I’m on the look again, and AGAIN the listings are fake listings, additionally, contacting any property results in harassing phone calls and emails filled with DEMANDS to verify my google account. I felt pressed to this write this as today I found my apartment which I NOW LIVE IN. Ridiculously listed as “verified”. It’s not for rent and the description does not even have the correct city! While researching the best place to leave a review for others looking for apartments that would be readily available, I stumbled across Apartments.com’s OWN website outlining how to write a review for them or their properties - positive review. The same stupid article goes on to say that negative reviews can be ignored as the writer has ill intentions due to other factors in their life, not anything their dwelling or the scam apartments.com pulled on them. It’s just disappointing to approach a website in hopes of help to a solution to a problem, and instead get robbed.

I paid for the application service but they did not provide anything to my potential landlord. He stated that he essentially received a blank page, no credit check, no additional score, etc. and as a result he required us to provide additional information in a separate app. Apartments.com themselves acknowledged this was the case to the landlord but would not refund us the application fee. They stated to the landlord that we could still apply to nine more places with the useless application. Do not waste your money on Apartments.com. There are dozens of other services that actually deliver what they promise.

I think apartments.com is fraudulent. I posted an ad for my rental. They called and left a message to call 844-293-8899. The clerk I spoke with said I do not own my property. Which is wrong. I asked for evidence of that. The young sounding cletk said the county records showed that. I asked what division of the county because I have my warranty deed and tax records. He asked for my home's address and said he wanted to go with that address instead. I told him that it is my rental not my home that is for rent. He said he will pull my ad. Something's not right with this company. The telephone number that I was provided and called for this alleged verifcation is 844-293-8899.

The star rating system means nothing. An apartment with mostly 1 star reviews will have a 5 star overall review. I can only assume they are selling star ratings. Which lost of people do but at the time of this review right above the star rating is says, "CoStar verified" which at first I thought mean that some reviews were verified. It's not. I think it's the "star" in the name that did it. I don't think this went unnoticed by Dark Lord Apartments.com who assume is the current owner. Also, they give you the number of reviews next to the stars which clearly seems to indicate the stars are an averaged amount, which they are not. In fact, it seems the star rating at the top of the page means literally nothing.

This company took over After55 and wrecked the company. Seniors picked up After55's magazine in supermarkets and drug stores and they were a reliable source for leads. When they stopped printing, they wrongly assumed all readers would turn to the internet. No way 65+ seniors are going to search there. They completely lost their entire target market and advertisers - they literally trashed the company. Trying to work with them now? No way. Horrible customer service and response times.

Apartment's com started allowing real estate agents to list their rentals, which sounded really great. NONE of my actual listings were ever approved after the review period, but suddenly I was bombarded with approvals for listings in other cities and states that clearly were NOT mine. I got e-mails stating that my password had changed, etc. I called Apartments.com, and they said "Oh, hope you didn't click anything. You got phished." Their overall attitude was one of "Oh, well.

I just can’t believe what just happened. I was interested in this house and was told it was for rent. I contacted the agent Eric Walker and set a schedule time with him to look at it. He also had me confirm the meeting 2 hours prior to looking at it. When I arrived for the meeting to look at the house, he arrived 20 minutes late and then relayed the message to me that the house was already rented out to someone else. That is totally unacceptable and very unprofessional of him. You think that a man in his profession would understand how stressful looking for a new house would be and for him to not only be late, but to waste my time as well is very disappointing......

As a property manager, I refuse to use Apartments.com, and for multiple reasons: - Pricing is never correct. People call looking for apartments significantly under the actual price. Try to fix it? Yea. That takes days before someone reviews and approves the change. Tell me, why does a company that knows nothing about my property have to approve a change that I made? - The money you spend on advertising isn't put to getting leads for your property. They spend more money on their ridiculous advertising tactics for their own benefit. How is Jeff Goldblum bringing me more renters? How is a one-trick tablet advertisement I get in the mail each year (no, that's not a joke) increasing my traffic? Answer is it doesn't. - Sales will bring all of these reports saying that leads increase by 200%! Wow! Well, it doesn't matter if none of those leads are qualified. Anyways, they try to sell you on a 'Platinum Package', which will make all of the leads see your page. Well, unless the property down the street also buys the Platinum Package, and the 4 properties around the corner, and 6 more the next street over. They have no limit on how many properties can opt into the highest package. Then on the prospect side, it is giving them a bunch of properties that paid top dollar for ads instead of properties that match the preferences they selected/need. - Cancellation of service. I terminated our contract for my property. They do not generate half as many leads as other similar sites. However, you better believe I get an email and a call at least once a month afterwards, starting only 2 weeks after I told the area sales rep every reason I terminated. - When I did have a contract with them, I opted out of posting reviews to the site. Reviews are great, but all of the reviews that Apartments.com will approve/post are only 5-star reviews. Not everyone is going to like a property, and that's ok. People have different needs and preferences, and no apartment building can match all of them for everyone. It just doesn't work that way. Instead of being honest and letting people make a decision for themselves, Apartments.com wants to oversell you on something you may get to and decide is not for you. Renters, don't waste your time. Property Managers, save your money and find other ways to reach out to renters.

You cannot post an honest review here at all because the site is run by a bunch of liberals who are more interested in their own sad little fragile snowflake liberal feelings than they are with an honest and descriptive review. They rejected my very descriptive review and the only thing they didn't seem to like is I mentioned the word "Indians", in that a lot of people from India live in the complex and sometimes the curry smell in the hallway is very overwhelming, which may be a problem to people with allergies. Apparently using the word "Indian" is forbidden... how else do you describe someone from "India"? Want me to just change it to "Brown skin folks from south of China" or something?

After much back and forth where they requested so much info from us and we provided it all, they ended up setting up the ad themselves and it's terrible and virtually uneditable where it counts. So, we'll have to rely on Zillow and Craigslist.....so far no inquiries for our 3 vacant units on Apartments.com, all have been from Zillow and Craigslist.

They delete bad reviews from apartments I honestly think the apartments owners reach out to apartments.com and buy them off cause it’s funny all the bad reviews removed from apartments.com? I don’t honestly understand why apartments.com removes bad reviews when people don’t say bad words they are just letting people know how bad those apartments are from experience and people should know and be aware and apartments.com not helping removing them but yeah they get paid to removed them that’s the truth. Shame on you

Deaf & Discriminated against SHAME ON THEM Bakersfield, CA

In order to get a listing they demand that; (email sent to me "we will be reaching out to you via telephone soon to validate the listing. Once we speak with you, your listing will be posted to our network of sites" unquote) I AM HARD OF HEARING AND CAN'T "SPEAK WITH THEM" ON THE PHONE- they refuse to publish 4 listings i've sent them - THIS IS NASTY DISCRIMINATION AGAINST DEAF/DISABLED PEOPLE IN THE WORST WAY! SHAME ! SHAME ! SHAME ! SHAME ! SHAME !

Apartments.com steals ads I post on craigslist to make it look like they have a customer. They also put the wrong price which puts me in a situation of telling the person calling that the ad is a scam. Jeff Goldbloom ads are pathetic for a company that pretends to have customers when in fact they steal ads. My ad was copy and pasted, but with wrong rent amount.

Ratings on Apartments.com are inaccurate. Listings with nothing but 1 and 2 star reviews are shown as having an overall 4 or 5 star average. They must be getting paid by the companies in order to show false ratings. Complete waste of time to even use this website to search for an apartment, especially since they let you narrow down your search to only 4 or 5 star listings. What is the point if it isn't accurate? There are plenty of other websites that are more useful and accurate, and way less shady.

I used their information to rent an apartment that is absolutely horrible. The complex had a cesspool for a hot tub and old mattress parts in the breezeways (not to be outdone by the rotting trash and cat feces). Apartments.com gave this complex five stars and has no way for me to add my opinion. I am stuck in a lease, and counting the days to my escape. (Did I mention I have no running water right no--no advanced notice either. Apartments.com must have some kind of deal going, either that or they can't do math. Either way stay away from this business and their self-serving reviews.

Don't bother looking at houses for rent on this site. A majority of these houses for rent are scams (scams that are easy to see and others that really have you going for your money)- and I was scammed nearly $2000 three-quarters of the way of completing a contract. Don't trust the information this site has on both apartments and houses- most of it is false or the apartments' in question don't work with this website on advertising at all. So much of it is misinformation and scams.

I posted a review for the horrible apartment complex I've lived in for 4 months. I wondered how the only existing reviews for the complex were all 5 stars. Now I know. They have deleted my review and I've reposted it 3 times and now I seem to be blocked from reposting my review. If you want REAL reviews of apartment s Do Not rely on apartments.com

I am a disabled veteran who was mistreated by landlord from Griffs Residential. I placed a negative review, and apartments.com deleted it. I reported a review that was negative, short and they deleted it again. They are frauds and only post the positive reviews to the apartments who pay them every month for this protection. Apartments.com should be the last place to go for an honest review!
