👋 Hey Product Hunt! I'm excited to finally share Rentyne with you all. This Chrome extension was born from a painful $1,200 lesson. The backstory: Three years ago, my co-founder and I found the "perfect" apartment on Zillow. Great photos, in budget, responsive management (or so we thought). We drove 4 hours, applied on the spot, and paid our deposit. Then reality hit: $685 in surprise fees the first month. Heating broke for 11 days in December. When we moved out spotless after 13 months, they kept our entire $1,500 security deposit with bogus charges. The worst part? Someone who lived there before us knew all of this. We just had no way to hear from them. That's why we built Rentyne. It's dead simple: Browse Zillow or Redfin normally, and our extension shows you authentic reviews from real tenants right on the listing page. No more switching tabs. No more guessing if that "luxury" apartment is actually worth it. We're here to answer questions about: How we detect and prevent fake reviews Our approach to privacy and data security The tech stack (spoiler: lots of fun challenges with Chrome extension APIs!) Why we chose a freemium model vs fully free Question for you all: What's the worst surprise you've encountered when renting or buying a property? Hidden fees? Bad landlord? Something the listing didn't mention? Would love to hear your stories and feedback!
