I noticed in the past few posts that checking will be done on the tenant's background before any TA is signed. This concerns private and personal details of the individual in question, and to a certain extent, the landlord as well.

Can Speedhome guarantee that it adheres to the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 when handling this information?

Nobody wants to be a victim of identity/financial theft and doxxing. Both of which are getting more rampant in this day and age.

I'd understand giving bad ratings to members who don't honour appointments and/or commitments or behave badly towards the unit/house owner, but why penalise those that ask questions but didn't commit to anything?

I'm sure the latter scenario happens a lot on Lazada and Shopee when you need to enquire with vendors before committing to purchasing a product. I have also communicated with vendors selling the same products to enquire on the warranty, product details, etc. and so far none of them ever gave me negative ratings just because I didn't purchase in the end.

I sure wouldn't appreciate negative reviews thrown at me if all I did was make enquiries in a courteous manner and will surely lodge a complaint if this happens.

That's their prerogative, not ours.

If you're comfortable with the deposit method, go for it. And the same goes for those who prefer house rental platforms such as SpeedHome.
