When you are in need of a place to… When you are in need of a place to live, being strung along isn't something you want to deal with. I inquired about a property and decided I wanted to rent. I wanted to rent at the end of the month but the person I dealt with wanted me to pay rent starting the middle of the month, which had already past. It wasn't going to happen and I'm not sure why they thought that was okay. I attempted to communicate with them but they just ignored my emails. So instead of renting to me, the property is back on the website.

Housing made easy I had the opportunity to intern in the Bay area for a couple months, but finding housing in a new city felt like a very daunting task. Especially hearing stories about pockets of bad neighborhood. Fortunately someone recommended me to check out PadPiper, which made my life so much easier. The website is clean, easy to use, and has all the information I need for choosing a place to live. The customer support is responsive and I knew I could trust the website because Jack knows many of the landlords personally. I would recommend the site to short term student housing, whether it's work related or not.

Great platforms for host Got an awesome tenant for a 4-month stay via Kopa! It's refreshing to see a site supports us hosts during COVID-19; I had to convert from short term to long-term and getting a guest for that long through Airbnb isn't easy.

DONT USE KOPA Kopa is an awful company with no customer service. They are withholding this month’s rent saying that it’s “processing” with my bank but my bank has not received any payment. I have never received payments within the 4 business days as they claim online and it has now been 11 business days with me continuously contacting their customer service with no response. It seems that I am not the first or only person this is happening to or has happened to. Please do not use this company if you want to get paid my your tenants! They have very high service fees, too. Don’t use them!

Highly Recommend My roommate and I were struggling for weeks to find a place to live in the bay area. We discovered PadPiper only days before we would need to move into an apartment and somehow, found a listing that matched all of our criteria in a beautiful neighborhood to boot! The process was seamless and the customer service is fantastic - Jack and Zach are kind, attentive and very personable co-founders. Coming from NYC, and Boston, I've had my fair share of apartment-search and rental experiences before-- but renting through Padpiper's platform was by far the most seamless and feels the most trustworthy. The reminders of when your rent is due are also super helpful. I highly recommend that you use their service!!
