      We cancelled some "service" called RentPlus in September, and have a confirmation email. In November, they just started charging this again, we see. This is $15 a month that I have already asked not to be charged for. They stopped supporting our local credit union recently, and so have been charging us $10 a month for this credit union not being supported, despite accepting it for years prior. I would like a refund for this, and I'd like them to cancel this "service" they added, and I'd also like them to provide me with, at minimum, a resolution for them "not supporting" UFCU, a large credit union local to Austin, Texas. I'd prefer not to have to open a new checking account with a different financial institution based on RentCafe/Yardi's whims, and if I must do so, I feel that we are owed at least some advance notice.

      The Yardi team reached out to the property management company, which confirmed that all charges for this service have been credited back as of 4/1/2025 and that the recurring charge has been removed.

      My present lease contract, with Southridge Apartments, since April 5, 2022 with RentCafe. Applying, February 2022, was filled with interfering issues - difficult email, password changes, also trying link lease rental home info with my new application neither of which was connected. The office Reps finally helped me get the password and email changed. In 2021 my son and I looked at Kansas City, MO rental home he wanted, asked me to move with him. He didn't get it. The Southridge apartment contract was created, seemingly having difficulty being used; office reps stated there seemed to be 2 contracts. We finally got straightened out with original Southridge contract. Every year it's dealing with extra old leasing info; rep during February 2022 stated RentCafe would fix it. NOT SO. Now, it's major difficulty again with old info interfering with original contract I signed in April 5, 2022 with Southridge Apartments. On Friday, March 7, 2025 I met with management rep. We talked and seemed to be getting everything finalized for my rent renewal for April 5, 2025-April 5, 2026. (In Feb I had given a letter to move out, but changed my mind. They said ok and didn't change anything.) During help with the rep Friday he did mention he was having trouble with 2 contracts. I said there shouldn't be because I only had the one contract with this apartment since April 5, 2022. He said I see that. He said he figured it out; he'd walk, bring the contract, I'd read and sign. Later, get signed copy. Never happened. I have called, went to the office and left messages. I did tell the office, RentCafe had old info, somehow my present email was changed to an old Microsoft office email, used with 2021 documents. I have never used that email with my present apartment. I saw late an office email with old 2021 rental home info my son never got. Got lease copy, not from original one, 2021 Microsoft email. This isn't right; need correct original lease. RentCafe needs remove old contract info.

      On 2/15/2025, I attempted to use this service to pay my rent, This is the only option the leasing office I live at give us to pay our rent. I attempted to use banking direct to have the payment of 242 withdrawn, after attempted to use that form I got an error message on the page saying " Your request is NOT completed because your banking institution is not supported. Please use another payment method, I then used a debit card as a different method that is using the same bank they rejected, which was approved when I Used the debit card and the funds were taken out immediately. After a week or two i get a notification from my bank stating there was an attempt to withdraw funds but being my account was locked they were unable to take the funds. (2nd Time) mind you first payment was approved cleared and approved with bank. I didn't think to much about it, ended up going to leasing office to adjust some rent issues as the right amounts where not being reflect on 2/24/2025,worked with leasing office and my rent balance was over $8.95 the lady at the office states you have a balance -11$ because you were charged a Return Check Charge on 2/20/2025 and I cannot remove it because the company charged you this you have to reach them, they don't have any contact information for Rent Cafe (Yardi services) , I immediately went into the app they have no phone number no email you can you reach them at so you can discuss ANYTHING NOT EVEN technical issues ( WITH MY OWN MONEY) they have a inquiry form online that will not even allow tenants to reach them as they are the ones taking payments out as 3rd party. I have sent many inquiry forms no one has been able to reach back to me this is crazy and sad they are doing this to tenants I am not the only tenant going through this issues its many off us, our next step is to reach a lawyer, because they charged me this 20 return fee I ended up getting charged a 50 late fee for (rent) that was already paid and only balance was return fee.

      Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. Our investigation revealed that an EFT (bank account) payment for $242 was processed and returned on Feb. 19, 2025, due to nonsufficient funds. This action resulted in a $20 fee per the system’s default settings that you accepted when selecting this option on Dec. 11, 2024. Your debit payment for $242 on Feb. 21 was successful. The EFT payment system functioned properly, and Yardi is not party to fees for late or nonsufficient payments. Your financial institution or property manager may be able to provide additional information.

      I cannot get into my Yardi Systems-powered HUD Homestore website, and I am a bidder user. It is blocking my 20-year access, and I am trying to put in an offer. I have tried to contact them in every way possible and to no avail. They do not respond to my requests, and my income is being affected by their refusal and inability to contact me back. I will also put a complaint into HUD today against them if I do not hear from them and I cannot get into my account. Thank you, P**** ******

      I setup auto pay with this company in November and my rent was never processed for February. They said that after the first of the year it resets autopay and no one sent me an email telling me this. This is illegal and now my rent is late. They need to be investigated.

      Business Response

      Date: 02/03/2025

      Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. Our records indicate that you created a recurring payment schedule on Dec. 2, 2024, with a stop day of Jan. 2, 2025. This arrangement was confirmed in an email sent to you on Dec. 2. At this point, with the initial schedule expired, you may either complete a new autopay setup or make one-time payments. To avoid the need to set up autopay each month, you may either leave the Stop Date blank or choose a Stop Date at a future date of your choice.

      I am rejecting this response because: I never added a stop date to my auto pay. What you are doing is illegal. You will only respond to BBB complaints and not my phone calls. I have contacted the attorney generals office. You will hopefully be investigated.  I have no email with a stop date.

      After a thorough investigation, the Yardi team documented that an email containing autopay details, including an end date of Jan. 2, 2025, was sent to you on Dec. 2, 2024, and opened upon receipt. The autopay function operated as directed and Yardi Payment Processing is not able to pull payments past the Jan. 2 end date. As noted previously, you may either enter into a new autopay arrangement or make one-time payments.

      As stated in other complaints I've read on here our payment did not go through and we now have to use the walk in payment system due to an error on Yardi's part. We contacted Rent Cafe and had absolutely no help on their end. Once figuring out Yardi is the payment processor which I found a number and call I was hung up on. Rentcafe had a massive outage on October 1, the day the rent was scheduled to be taken out. That was the same day that I received a notification from yardi stating that the account had insufficient funds. PNC confirms that they rejected that payment due to insufficient funds on October 1. Funds for which I forgot to transfer from another account. I then made a second attempt on rentcafe on October 3, after verifying that the funds were in the same bank account used for all previous transactions including prior rent payments and that same bank account was used again for rentcafe for the second attempt. However, PNC has verified that NO attempt was made by rentcafe/yardi to withdraw the funds from the bank account. In fact, Yardi sent me an email today stating that the payment didn’t go through because the account was “invalid”, error R04, which is inaccurate. I have been using rentcafe for over a year and never had a problem with this until their outage on October 1. I have never been late on any payments prior to the day of the outage. We had made successful payments to rent cafe prior with no issue. Our property manager through Rent Cafe was notified via email and never responded. You can't call anyone or talk to anyone who will help. I

      The RentCafe team needs additional information to confirm your account details and complete its investigation. Please provide:

      • The name of your property management company.
      • The notification from Yardi stating that your account had insufficient funds following the Oct. 1 outage.
      • The email from Yardi regarding the error R04.

      Our investigation reveals that you are set up with a Cash Only payment method. The Oct. 1 recurring payment for $2,101 from account ending in 3093 was returned with an Invalid/Closed Account code (R04). A payment on Oct. 3 for $2069.74 from account ending in 2844 was returned four days later with the same code. Subsequently the payment method was changed to Cash Only. The bank accounts used for the Oct. 1 and Oct. 3 payments have been deactivated. The bank account ending in 6329 was added on Oct. 3. Changing the payment method would be at the discretion of the property manager, whose policy is to establish Cash Only as the default after two NSF transactions.

      Yardi systems does not take accountability for their mistakes, this is not an error with our bank account. I talked to the bank multiple times regarding this and they have zero proof of an attempt to remove the rent payment. Yardi's system was down on October 1st and they did not explain what happened. We had multiple successful payments prior to this issue they had with their system. Once again no accountability and the same generic response I've already gotten. Was there a data breach of their system. I would have liked to actually speak to someone from Yardi but here we are, nothing can be done go figure.

      demand immediate action regarding an unauthorized charge to my account. I was recently charged a fee, and after reviewing the details, it is clear that this charge is incorrect and should be reversed. The charge in question pertains to a payment that should not have been processed. I have proof to support my claim, including an email from the property manager and documentation from the PHA Housing Authority lease, which show that this charge was not valid. I am requesting that you reverse these charges back to my debit card immediately. This issue needs to be addressed without further delay, and I expect a prompt resolution. Failure to do so will result in further action on my part. Please confirm once the reversal has been completed

This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
