Seem like a lot of spam people

Seem like a lot of spam people.
Also the price is really high for the quality of background checks done on people.

If a better option presented itself I would go with that option. Due to my current landlord circumstances I'm using this site.

Subscription renewal is unclear
June 16, 2021

Subscription renewal is unclear. Shall I be charged $24.95 if I do not cancel the 7.95 subscription? That is obviously a scam design to charge when people forget to cancel. If I cancel, can i buy another $7.95 subscription?
I got emailes thru Craigslist but obviously designed to subscribe to Roomster.
Navigation in Roomster is not user friendly.

Having to put my card info in multiple times is very annoying. Also your fee structure makes me feel ripped off.

When i was editing my listing i was unable to add in the cost for utilities, it just kept showing as required if i added the language for the deposit. So i skipped it.
