Rently Declares War on Scammers with Integrated, Data-Driven Technology for Secure and Seamless Housing Rentals

Published

By

SINGAPORE, March 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Rently Pte Ltd, Singapore’s fintech startup in the property sector, has declared war on rental scammers with its integrated services technologies that offer secure housing rental transactions for tenants and a smooth process for landlords.

Between January and October 2024, over 430 rental scam cases were reported in Singapore, resulting in losses of at least $2.7 million. Common scam tactics include fake rental listings on Facebook and Carousell, and impersonating legitimate property agents. The surge in scams has added to market challenges, including rising vacancy rates, and increased disputes, with landlords bearing the burden of paying government wealth taxes on vacant properties.

Rently addresses these challenges by offering essential solutions such as landlord verification, secure payment methods, and advanced scam prevention technologies. The platform’s Rently Care service, Asia Pacific’s first deposit-free subscription, provides tenants with financial flexibility while protecting them from rental scams and disputes. Rently Care allows tenants to rent without a deposit, as Rently covers the deposit for landlords, alleviating the financial burden on tenants and ensuring landlord security.

A real-life example of Rently’s impact is seen in the story of JM and Faz, a couple who lost S$7.2K in a deposit scam through a fake Facebook rental listing. After the incident, they turned to Rently for support and have since partnered with the platform to spread awareness about fighting rental scams, sharing their experience to help others avoid similar pitfalls.

Rently enhances security by collaborating with ExpatHandovers for thorough inventory checks, often identifying hidden or costly issues that might otherwise go unnoticed. Tenants also benefit from complimentary home contents insurance underwritten by Chubb, adding an extra layer of security.

All property listings on Rently are verified through Singpass MyInfo, ensuring only verified and trusted partners are listed.  As an associate partner of the Real Estate Developers’ Association of Singapore (REDAS), Rently collaborates with reputable co-living and serviced apartment providers, such as Habyt, Far East Hospitality, and Casa Mia, ensuring secure and reliable housing options. The platform features an AI-powered application process along with AML (Anti-Money Laundering) and anti-fraud checks, creating a safe and transparent rental environment.

Rently also offers a hassle-free process for landlords. Landlords can list properties for free, receive security deposits directly from Rently, and manage contracts seamlessly with Singpass integration. Rently’s platform enables landlords to draft professional-grade contracts in just 60 seconds ensuring fairness and consistency and simplifying the rental process

Through Rently Pay, a free service that ensures timely rent payments, landlords receive one month of guaranteed rent payout in case of tenant default. Rently pays rent in advance to landlords and then deducts the amount from the tenant’s account, ensuring the full payment is received with no deductions

“At Rently, we are committed to transforming the public’s perception of housing rentals by making the process secure, seamless, and scam-free. We are collaborating with Habyt to automate end-to-end payments enhances convenience and transparency. We are also planning to introduce a platform and helpline for deposit disputes, offering services and information to assist individuals in recovering their funds,” said Shirley Tang, Chief Growth Officer, Rently.

About Rently

Founded in 2022, Rently Pte Ltd is a Singapore-based fintech startup in the property space that provides deposit-free rental solutions through their proprietary Rently Care subscription and property management services via the Rently app’s inventory feature.

DA NANG, Vietnam, March 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The 6th Informatics Olympiad, exclusively sponsored by Hanwha Life, was successfully held from March 21 to 22 at Vietnam-Korea University of Information and Communication Technology(VKU). As a premier IT competition, the Olympiad identifies and fosters outstanding talents across Vietnam. The company has been sponsoring this event for two consecutive years, thus strengthening its commitment to regional technological advancement.

This year, the competition garnered significant attention, with a record-breaking number of participants. The number of participating schools surged by 48.3% year-on-year to 525 institutions, while student participation increased by 19.5%, with 2,848 competitors—the largest turnout so far.

The winner of the AI track, Phùng Nguyễn Như Bách, stated, “I am sincerely grateful to Hanwha Life for providing a platform that showcases Vietnam’s AI capabilities on the global stage.” Vietnamese participants have made their mark internationally. Last year, the Super Cup champion went to compete in the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI), securing an impressive two gold medals, one silver medal, and one bronze medal.

During the competition, the company hosted “Hanwha Life Lecture Series”, providing the participants and residents with insights into global finance and fintech. The event featured a keynote lecture by Jung Yoo Shin head of Korea Digital Economic and Financial Institute and a professor at Sogang University, titled “Digital Finance and Korean Fintech & Best Practices.” Through this initiative, the company aimed to enhance financial literacy among local youth and inhabitants, contributing to the development of the Vietnamese financial ecosystem while expanding its future customer base.
