Can speedhome please take action or warn those tenants who are always late on rental payment? I tried to chase my tenant but she said speedhome said ok to her only and never really take any action besides sending her reminder only, which i feel she conveniently ignored and only pay up when she wants to, not when she needs to. Now this month she's late again, and tell me only by  next week she's able to pay after i chased her about the late payment.

I feel that now she is taking advantage after knowing that nothing can be done from the landlord(if got deposit can at least warn her), and speedhome platform also being too lenient on this kind of people who never bother to follow the terms.

Can speedhome please do something about it?!

1. SH+ is only limited to specific 200+ buildings as stated in our FAQ. We are unable to take in all units at the moment.
2. OCD - I can PMed you the details. You can request our team to file the police report on behalf, not an issue.
3. We are building up more automation to reduce the manual work our team is coping with. A lot more automation are being built as we speak.

Please do not use speedhome as the service is unreliable, especially their homerunner service which is lousy as hell. Recently engaged their homerunner service as didn’t want to hassle about making arrangements for the viewing, but their arrangement of first viewing for my unit also they screwed up. The homerunner agent cancelled out last minute and blocked all calls while those who wanting to view already at the unit. Ended up I was the one who received all the non stop incoming calls and complaints from the prospects.

Feeling pissed off and not knowing what happened, I tried to call speedhome office, but so happened it was Sunday and nobody is picking up calls. Homerunner agent number also not contactable and available.( prospects said number suddenly not reachable last min) What kind of service is this?

I suspect they use freelancer or anyone to do the viewing and this just feels so unreliable and no trust at all especially I initially trusted them and passed the keys for them to do the viewing for me. But they just cancelled out last min as they like ? I feel so bad for those who came for the viewing, honestly.

Another thing that pissed me off is when I checked back all the chats in the app, they also never filter tenants criteria, instead they just keep pestering all tenants to go ahead with the viewing irregardless of you keep it mentioning your tenant criteria to them who not to offered, and they acknowledged it but still doing all the nonsense. But if you are ok with tons of unknown ppl come to view your unit , then this shouldn’t be a problem tongue.gif

Just use a proper agent will save your headache. At least you don’t have to handle the complaints if the homerunner service back out last min, which is so annoying and unreliable.

Sorry for the delayed response, as I did not set this thread for an alert. I'll PM you for your contact so that I can check what went wrong?

While it was a month ago, we want to find out what went wrong.

We started a weekly meeting dedicated to customer experience to discuss cases for improvement and implementation late last year. We have addressed a lot of major complaints, and there are still many issues to look at. There is major room for improvement and we will continue to focus on improving the service.

I believe this persistent effort will pay off in the long run. I apologise for your experience and thank you for your feedback.

SH no deposit but insurance concept will only attract all those low grade tenant, they will find SH becos no deposit and reject by agent.. abit risk for owner to accept those tenant which can’t afford to pay.. better find tenant by ur own or agent, collect deposit and go find Allianz agent buy home rental insurance

SH supports deposit since March. So landlord can get deposit and top up with insurance for double protection.

As such, customers have the flexibility to opt for whichever model that's suitable for them.

We think different property requires different strategy.

For example some less prime areas with lower demand - zero deposit has been a strong push factor for the tenant to rent there.

We also encourage landlord to take deposit especially for the more mature neighbourhood with low competition from new supply.

Thanks gks for the thorough review. I agree with most of your assessment.

We acknowledge some of the shortcomings and amend/added services to address common concerns:

1. Early termination - no longer allowed, many used this loophole during COVID. It was a new trend that we observed, prior to COVID it wasn't that common.
2. We have started inspection service now and provide fixes services through SPEEDFIX.
3. Our default detection was not equipped to catch new trend introduced during COVID - where the past data were not suitable under the extreme scenario. Our newly updated default detection engine has just gone live. We hope that we can detect better moving forward. We made a backtest against old and new data - it should improve in detection.
