Safety

OutRenz is a community of students. Keeping that community safe is our top priority.

How We Keep You Safe

Student Verification

Every account is verified with a .edu email address. No anonymous users — everyone on OutRenz is a real student.

Ratings & Reviews

After every rental, both parties leave a review. This creates accountability and helps you make informed decisions.

In-App Messaging

All communication happens through OutRenz's secure messaging system. Never feel pressured to share personal contact info.

Campus Meetups

We recommend all handoffs happen in public campus locations — libraries, student unions, and campus cafes are great options.

Dispute Resolution

If something goes wrong, our support team is here to mediate fairly and quickly based on documented evidence.

Report & Block

See something off? Report it instantly. Block anyone who makes you uncomfortable. We take every report seriously.

Safety Tips for Rentals
