Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the platform, verification, and bidding.

?
Is RentBid really free to join?
Yes. Creating an account, getting verified, browsing listings and applying are all free for tenants. Landlords can list their first property and receive applications free too — paid plans are optional and only add visibility and marketing tools.
What does verification involve?
Both landlords and tenants complete KYC: a valid South African ID, proof of address under 3 months old, and a liveness check. Landlords also provide proof of ownership. Most verifications complete within 24 hours — at no cost.
How does applying for a rental work?
Landlords set the rent and list the property. Verified tenants apply with their verified profile, rating and an optional credit check. The landlord reviews every applicant and picks the best fit — no agents, no commission.
How does RentBid make money if it's free?
RentBid earns from optional subscriptions — Priority Profile for tenants (R149/mo) and Base (R49/mo) or Pro (R249/mo) plans for landlords — plus an optional once-off tenant credit check (R249). No agent commission and no success fee. You never pay just to look.
Can I be both a tenant and a landlord?
Yes. One RentBid account supports both roles — verify once, then switch between tenant and landlord mode from your dashboard.
