Our Mission
At RentEZ, we're transforming the South African rental market by eliminating the need for agents. We directly connect landlords and tenants while handling the entire rental process from listing to lease management.
With a fee of just 4% (versus the industry standard 8-10%), we're making rental properties more accessible and management more profitable.
Connecting South Africans with their perfect homes
Our Story
RentEZ was born from a simple observation: the traditional rental market in South Africa is complicated, expensive, and often frustrating for both tenants and landlords.
Our platform was conceptualized by a team of real estate and technology specialists who experienced these frustrations firsthand. They envisioned a solution that would make renting as easy as booking a hotel room online—transparent, direct, and hassle-free.
What started as a small idea has grown into South Africa's leading direct-to-landlord rental platform, serving communities across all nine provinces.
Today, we're proud to have simplified the rental process for thousands of South Africans, saving them time, money, and stress while creating meaningful connections between property owners and tenants.
