MyRentalCV Reviews 

What a mission to try and complete their 'CV'

Trying to rent after being abroad for a number of years.

Support from their team is very basic and does not seem to comprehend that not every renter fits into a neat tick the box situation

This is my second time using them. They really make the hassle of moving much much easier. So far, They have set up council tax, broadband, electricity, gas for me, helped me choose the best provider and made the process of applying easier.

This service mainly benefits the landlord. Yes it does make renting a property easier as in you can do 1 application form and letting agents can view it. But it only provides a cv for the tenants. Therefore I would not have moved into my new property had I known what I know now.

I provided some feedback and advised myrental cv it would have been nice to view the landlords/letting agents cv but was told this was not appropriate. Not sure why? If applying for jobs I can view what people have said about them as an employer on Indeed. So I'm not sure why a letting agent having a cv would not be appropriate. If they change their response I'll change my review.

Bank statements, emplyer references, guarantors and credit checks just to view a property??

What's next, sign in blood and sacrifice a goat when 2 planets intersect with the moon?

Next thing you know in 2 years time the parent company will start another business providing credit scores, the reason for collecting so much data about you is NOT because they want to see if you're a good tenant... you can be sure of that.

Very professional staff and quick service - helped me get my flat

Useful site - quick replies.

Excellent customer service support with very prompt responses.

useful place to collate rental info

Great experience and service. Only snag was the open banking APIs which stuck loading a few times.

The team completed my forget me request on the same day.

This made applying for rental properties so easy. I can show letting agents my profile and it automatically updates to when whenever I add to it. Also the customer service is great.

If agencies genuinely think using such systems to make their already non-intensive paper-based work more "efficient", is the way forwards then tenants should have the same rights to request the exact same data from agencies and landlords. To ensure that the property can be maintained and improved upon during their stay, and references from previous tenants (as landlords & agencies can be nightmares). If you have to be a "model" tenant, then this should also apply to the agencies and landlords too. And we know if their job was dependent on there actual performance and not the case of housing demand, most will be out of business.

I wouldn't even bother further engaging with any agencies that ask you to use this system or go as far as asking for intimate information BEFORE you've been allowed to view a property, as this is how internalised prejudice & discrimination, racism, ageism, sexism, discrimination based on occupation occurs, hidden under "tenancy checks", for they will have all that data to identify and discriminate if they simply just don't "like" you, your occupation, your income etc. You've let alone been allowed to view a property, and agencies are asking for "credit score", and personal bank statement when you've not yet VIEWED a property. Not legal to discriminate against people in general, and people have the right to view and have an opinion of a property. Agencies still discriminate against people on DSS, by rejecting people for not having the right x3 "annual income" (based on their opinion and doubt even if they have salaries that high) or "sorry landlord wants xyz". Not got a guarantor (cause apparently we all have loaded parents&friends) even though you have enough to pay for the property, sorry, no can do. They shouldn't be surprised when a robot takes over their jobs.

MyRentalCV, should have MyLeasingCV.

Absolutely hopeless - their website doesn't work properly - even trying different computers at different times of the day it won't upload the requested files (even small ones) and won't save any of the details we input. Their support line advice was to "keep trying". We have been trying all day! If landlords are wondering why they are not getting new tenants in it is because no tenant can get an enquiry through this stupid system.

I was required into using this service by my letting provider in order to handle references etc. I did not choose to use it. Once it had fulfilled its purpose and the references had completed I received calls asking me to opt in to other services. I told them I was not interested. I then received a further call seemingly from the owner (he referred to "my company"). When I told him I was not interested I received a barrage of abuse accusing me of being rude and asserting that I had requested the call. I was unable to get a word in edgeways and the whole experience was offending and bizarre. I put the phone down as the man was so unprofessional and aggressive.

The MyRentalCV site was really helpful as it allowed me to put all my rental history together in a cohesive way. Their concierge service was great, they set up my broadband at a fab price
