From my experience with both normal and speedhome. Tenant tend to damage your house with speedhome because they have no deposit placed with speedhome or the Landlord. They could not care less because there is no immediate penalty or loss of money to them.
If Tenant have 2 months deposit with landlord, Tenant want to get back as much as possible so Tenant will clean up and repair the things so that Landlord can deduct as less as possible from their deposit.
Of course, landlords should still screen their tenant and not just leave it to speedhome alone. Remember, speedhome is a tech company looking for high valuations. Tech companies could not care less if you die or not because you are just a small ikan bilis in the ocean. It's a dog eat dog world

QUOTE(BigPotato22 @ Nov 12 2020, 05:27 PM) I was so committed to speedhome. Passed the key to homerunner 2nd day after I list in. Managing tenant viewing appointment and out of sudden my account being temporarily banned on the 3rd day. I was so innocent and abit frust with speedhome that they ban my account without giving me a call. reason of banning if i don't reply to their WhatsApp which I did ! I think Speedhome need to strengthen the communication to avoid losing excited first time user like me. There's calls received during key collection and confirmation of rental fees agreed with tenant; but ehy can't just give me a call before removing my account? I was kicked without knowing what's wrong i did....  Can you discuss with the CS the issue or write in to their CEO? |

QUOTE(ahwai @ Nov 23 2020, 07:16 PM) i listed a property on speedhome and i highlighted that the rent is non-negotiable but i keep getting request for lower rent whats the point of putting my price as non-negotiable i'm a first time user and i quite disappointed that i am getting lowballed and speedhome tend to favor the tenant more than the owner True. I have another suggestion, that good tenants with good track record with Speedrent be given a Star/Thumbs Up Rating like Airbnb has in their Superhosts. Then maybe Landlords will be more keen to give those with good record a discount. But caveat is past history does not guarantee of future behavior |

QUOTE(AridEyes @ Apr 19 2021, 06:47 PM) An update of my situation, @wheimeng has sorted out this issue for me. Apparently speedhome support team was trying to reach out to my wife (who was registered to speedhome) but she missed out the message and calls. So today the support team reached out to me and they have agreed to cover 90% of the outstanding electricity bills. They actually can cover special cases like this. Lesson learnt, for landlord the best option is to indeed change the electricity bill name to the tenant's name, so this issue would not even be possible. One suggestion to speedhome, maybe should highlight the importance of this to landlord, or you could even make this as part of the signup process? Kudos to @wheimeng and speedhome team for the quick resolution. But then the tenant will raise an issue . The tenant thought is zero deposit but then need to pay electricity deposit? |

QUOTE(mataharih @ Jan 10 2022, 01:42 PM) Speedhome should really allow landlords to ban potential tenants, especially after they request Alicia to dismiss a chat. I just had a tenant send me rude replies in our chat because I told Alicia to dismiss the tenant as I felt this tenant was insincere in renting my unit. Alicia told the tenant that I wasn’t interested to rent to them and didn’t delete the chat as requested. Hence, the tenant proceeded to send me rude remarks. Why does Alicia allow such abuse? They should delete/dismiss the chats when requested by the landlord, especially when they feel the tenant is not up to par. Terrible service. What a strawberry. You are allowed to criticize others but you don't let others to criticize you |
