I have been looking for an apartment in Los Angeles
I have been looking for an apartment in the downtown Los Angeles area over the last month and have received multiple contact from buildings. I had interest in. I get daily updates on rent increases or decreases so I can evaluate my options. I also. used apartment list to find my current unit. It has been a great tour and helping me explore my options. I have recommended it to friends.

Apartment List is not the best way to find listings.
Apartment List requires a lot of personal information up front before listings are shown. I did not find any listings that weren't also on Zillow. Deleting my account required research on how to do it, an email request, and then clicking a link from email--which is always a risk. This company feels predatory and doesn't offer anything special to the consumer.

Hi Leah! I'm sorry to hear that Apartment List didn't match expectations: we ask so many questions up front so that we can show the best possible matches, but it sounds like our matchmaking process missed the mark for you. Data privacy and security is a top concern, so we send an account deletion verification email to ensure that deletion requests are coming from your account. I'll note this experience to our product team! Wishing you the best in your apartment search: we're always working to improve, so give us a try again if you move in the future! 💜️ -Melissa, Apartment List Support

Hi! Thank you for your feedback. We’re here to help you find a home you love, and our matchmaker quiz is a part of our approach to finding your perfect match. We're always growing our inventory, and it sounds like in this case our match algorithm matched you with a place that you already live in.

Ignores your budget
Even though you put in you budget information they constantly send you listing that are 100s of dollars over your budget. And many of the listing are unavailable or inaccurate. It really amounted to a waste of my time.

Hi Wendy! At Apartment List, we sometimes “flex” budget ranges to show additional options that might still be a fit, but we understand how frustrating it is when listings feel consistently out of range or inaccurate. We also rely on property partners to keep listing details up to date, but we recognize we don’t always get it right. Your feedback is incredibly valuable, and we’ll be sharing it with our product team as we continue working to improve match accuracy and listing quality. If you’re open to it, we’d love to learn more about what you encountered: feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] -Melissa, Customer Experience

Literally the worst website
Literally the worst website, you can't downgrade properties on your list, you can't search for a property by name, and you cannot change your filters

Unprofessional, No help, Waste of time and $
Unprofessional, terrible "leads", no support of any kind. I've spent over a week trying to get anyone (I've emailed their entire corporate leadership as well after finding them on Linkedin) to assist in getting off this platform. Just don't do it. It's not worth the advertised low cost.

All these people do is sell your information far and wide. With one search on this bogus website I have generated hundreds of spam emails. Do not use them.

We hear you: it sounds like our “SuperMatch” feature did its job a little too well! It’s designed to help renters connect quickly with apartments that are a strong fit, but we know it can sometimes feel like more contact than expected. I've shared your experience with our product team, and we'll work on addressing your feedback. -Melissa, Customer Experience

Be prepared for a flood of emails from any listings you "like" or "maybe"
I did the little questionnaire thing on the Apartment List website about what I was looking for and the website gave me some listings to review. I clicked "maybe" on some of the listings and got a pop-up asking me if I wanted Apartment List to share my info with the property manager. I clicked "no thanks" for each one but my email is getting absolutely flooded with emails from apartment managers. I have not interacted with any other apartment websites so Apartment List is the only way all these apartment managers could have gotten my info. Obviously Apartment List shared my email with them in some way. So I'm feeling rather misled by that stupid pop-up.. why ask me if I want my info shared if they are just going to disregard my answer?
