Warning to all potential users:
HousingAnywhere imposes a steep, non-refundable fee on every single booking—euphemistically labeled a “tenant protection fee.” In reality, this is nothing more than a hidden brokerage charge, cleverly disguised. These fees can range anywhere from €100 to €600 and are never returned, regardless of what happens with your rental. It’s a one-time payment, and it’s gone the moment you click "Book."
This platform profits from unsuspecting tenants, not from providing genuine protection. I strongly urge anyone looking for housing to avoid HousingAnywhere and seek out more transparent, trustworthy alternatives.
