Locayt is a supposedly a Management company that has several rentals in California. They request you pay for application fee and within 5-7 days, youll be approved for a rental. Its been well over the time frame, i notified them only through filling out a form or you attempt calling the fake number that a AI robot answers and states youll hear from someone in 24 hrs. This never happens and they still take your money.

In a clause they have it states if you dont qualify, theyll return your money back. Well this isnt true becasue there is no live person to talk to and they keep stealing my money.

I saw an apartment listing online for 47 Astor Ct. in Sayreville, NJ 08872 for $2,700. I then went to apply for a tour. The scammer texted me back saying fill out a prescreen application. I then put in all my personal info until I got to the page that said pay $49 fee. I tried calling the number and it is an AI. The AI woman said that I would receive a call back. Then the scammer Adam texted me. I asked if he could call and he said he couldnt because everything had to be done electronically. I then drove by the location and the person who actually lives there and stated that this is definitely a scam. I told them that the apartment is listed and showed them the listing that is on several different sites along with the scammers fake locayt info that is set up like an actual website

This "company" LOCAYT.COM responded to my inquiry about two rental properties in New York City. They said that their company does "pre-screening" as a service to landlords/real estate management companies and that the $49 fee will go toward a pre-screening credit process and that the money will go toward paying for the full credit check if I'm approved. They said it takes 5 days to complete the pre-screen process. They respond via text and it's clearly an AI message system. They continue to say I'll hear from them soon though it's been several days past the 5 day period. Stay AWAY from this fraudulent "business."

Viewing rental sites on Zumper app on iphone, when putting in interest for rental property, text and email response to apply for a tour came via Locayt. They responded to email/texts and phone calls regarding application questions. No responses about application or a tour time. Additional messages from them about following up by calling and to apply with no mention of previous application.

On Redfin, there's an apartment listing for 24 Mott Street in Manhattan for a 1-bed 1-bath apartment for $2000/mo. I requested more information, and I immediately got an email and a text (from a person saying their name was Adam) with a link to a website called Locayt. It askes for a bunch of personal information (place of work, credit score, Photo ID etc) then asks for a $50 "pre-screening fee" to schedule a tour that says its refundable or goes towards the deposit. I texted "Adam" saying I would only give the $50 after the tour if I liked it and his response was "Totally get it. Just so you know, the pre-screening fee is refundable if you decide not to move forward after the tour. It's required before scheduling."

I responded to a rental listing on rent.com and was contacted by “Adam” who told me to fill out a $49 pre-screening application and get a renters insurance quote on Locayt.com. I should’ve known not to pay anything for a place I haven’t seen and the deal was too good to be true. Adam is a bot and I got scammed.

I browsed websites like zillow.com and apartments.com to find apartments and this website locayt duplicates previous listings with much lower prices to lure in potential tenants into applying for apartments that are not even vacant

Be extremly careful with locayt.com they dont even have a phone number to contact.

I saw a rental online and was told I had to pre-apply to prevent wasting time. I applied, paid the fee, and never heard back from them.

They are passing themself of as the Retail Agent of the property they found from a different rental site

Also the Address of the apartment is now not in the downlode

They kept pushing to see the property you must fill out the a pre screening app. which cost me $49.00 and request a copy of my drivers license

Now they have all my information. License Number SS Number, address. My full name and I changed my debt card number as of today.

I requested a refund and to delete all my inform. I can only do in they link http://www.locayt.com/Rentercontact

I try fill a refund request and it would not take my request.

There was a property on Redfin app for rent, and it's information was through Locayt, were you go through a "screening process" to view the property, charging $49.00 dollars.

The process takes you to their web site, were they ask personal information, so they can "review you" for their "screening process".

Every Inquiry was done by an AI assistant.

I never got an answer.

I was on Redfin trying to find an apartment and found a listing that needed me to apply on locayt. It’s been a week and I haven’t received anything. I tried calling but it goes to a robot.

I found a listing on Redfin for an apartment that was in a popular location and a couple hundred less than what it would normally rent for. The only way to schedule a showing was to pay an application fee of $49.00. I received a follow up email saying my application was received but the property was not actually for rent - I reached out to a local realtor. I looked at the listing, and the property history showed the unit had been listed and reslisted several times within the last couple weeks. But the property was not up for rent - per the owner. 41 Central Street, Concord, MA 01742

Advertised properties do not exist. Customer service is non existent, they tell you to re apply and pay every time you try to schedule a viewing for a property and you can NEVER schedule a viewing because this is a giant scam.

There was a house for Rent posting on Redfin that seemed like a too good to be true deal. I inquired about it so I can schedule a tour. Automatically, I receive a text message to submit a "Pre-Screening" Application. I was suspicious because that's not required generally for a tour. The link they sent was from Locayt which wanted a $49.00 fee. The person from Locayt who texted me said his name was "Adam".

On both Redfin and Rent.com there was a house for rent at an affordable rate. I checked the website of locayt.com and it looked legitimate and I applied quickly because realty has been going so quickly around here. I received a notification that my husband needed to apply as well and so we both did and paid the $49 fee. My husband received a text and a follow up email stating that it was a third party and that a leasing agent would be in contact. Then, I checked the company through Google and sure enough, multiple threads appeared about it being a scam. I feel so stupid and angry. I'm hoping there's recourse. $98 is no small change for us and we would like to recoup it.

Posted rental listing in Gloucester, MA on Redfin.com, Realtor.com, possibly other sites; listing directs interested parties to schedule a showing at showmojo.com/lrt/4bcfa930db which then leads to a 'pre-screening' on Locayt.com with a $49 fee paid by credit card, claiming "At Locayt we value your time and have a pre-screening process to ensure efficient scheduling. To avoid no-shows and time wastage, we kindly request serious applicants to complete a pre-screen application. Should you advance as a rental candidate, your initial fee will be credited toward the rental credit report fee"
