I've used roomies 3 times each time with success. I find professional roommates within days of putting up an ad. Only site I use.

My roommate was crazy
April 18, 2023

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

Roomies is Planet Fitness 2.0

Our experience using Roomies was awful. We're facing homelessness now because the landlady's refused to hear our complaints against our other roommate for stalking her. He's an old man. My daughter is in her 20's but looks younger. They never even replied to our complaint for 19 days. They refused to give us his last name or to address any of our complaints against him.
When they did, they told us to not choose communal living. As if we are the problem. They're friends with him & are now evicting us because he told them I was smoking cigarettes in my room. I tried telling him & them, that he mistook my cannabis for cigarettes, but I was outside on the deck. Since they're friends, they chose to believe him & are evicting us for not "curing" the problem.
They never told us how to cure it. They never showed us where the mailbox is. They just tell us, well you never asked. I didn't know what curing means.
They deny they're friends with him, yet he visits them at all hours & we've never seen the downstairs. They said they'd show us, but never have. They hired a housekeeper (finally) for the common areas & kitchen only. Yet I seen the housekeeper come out of that roommates room. She cleaned his room, but not ours. They denied that too but I saw her come out of the other roommates room with her cleaning supplies.
They shut off the heat in the rest of the house all winter. The rooms & bathroom each have small floor heaters. The rest of the house is freezing. You have to wear a coat to make breakfast. Going to the bathroom during the night is absolutely awful. I'm a 57 yr old disabled woman.
I can barely walk & have multiple health issues including Scleroderma. These people have put me through hell living here. We haven't felt SAFE for months. They have another guy living with them downstairs that we haven't met yet. He is big & scary looking. Now that we know they side with the men here,we don't trust them.
They don't care about our safety or our warmth. They've created a hostile living environment. They ignored our complaints about our roommate not leaving us alone & telling us he didn't have to leave us alone. He would wait for my daughter to get off work every night for almost 3 months.
He refused to leave her alone so I threatened to file a restraining order against him & he moved out immediately & hurriedly. Now they're trying to say they asked him to move since we can't get along like civil adults. Like we are the problem when all we wanted was to be left alone! It's shady that their website doesn't provide a way to leave a review or even get ahold of anyone. It's very limited. Can't even leave a google review for a global business? I pray it isn't used for human trafficking. Our landlady's sure are shady! They're friends with predator types & have broken several landlord laws.
Roomies is Planet Fitness 2.0. They don't care about the safety of females.

Scammed

This site only allows you to view who is looking for a room. If you want to talk to them, you have to pay.
