RentPlus Is a Minus

It’s not just big tech, everyone’s selling your info. Like apartments, I don’t see why I have to pay rent when moving and cleaning companies are giving them kickbacks. This being rent day at my new apartment, I just noticed after staring closely at the rent itemization that I’m getting charged monthly for RentPlus which I apparently was automatically signed up for in my lease.

I did get this nice follow up email that doesn’t mention I’m getting charged $9/month to improve my credit score which was already over 800, otherwise I would have clicked on the cancel link which doesn’t work. My online account has no mention of the charge, either (although it does have a barely working cancel link). I am skeptical about that 95% favorability claim. I wouldn’t refer a friend, but I might refer an enemy.

We are excited to welcome you to RentPlus! We are sure you are going to love it. In fact, 95% of RentPlus members would refer a friend.
