Testimonials

Managing your property through Rentwell is a different form of investment – with a mix of financial and social returns. Through initiatives like this we can all help end homelessness, something I think is achievable.

Krishna Sadhana
Rentwell Property Owner

Women and others in need of affordable housing are so grateful for the opportunity and would care for your property as if it was their own home. So please give us the chance to prove that we will make good tenants with a reliable and long-term commitment to caring for and maintaining your property.

Christine
Tenant

Women and others in need often find themselves not being able to afford full market rents through no fault of their own. We just need to be given the opportunity to prove we will make excellent tenants.
