About OpenRent
OpenRent is the UK’s most widely used platform for private residential rentals, offering a fully digital alternative to traditional letting agents. Since its launch in 2012, it has grown to support over 7 million users and facilitates more than 1.5 million tenancies annually. Operating in English and priced in GBP, openrent.co.uk covers the entire UK market — from central London flats to cottages in rural Wales and Scotland’s northern towns.
The platform stands out for its landlord-first approach: owners can list properties without agency fees, while tenants enjoy low-cost applications and direct communication with landlords. OpenRent also offers tenant referencing, automated rent collection, tenancy agreements, and the ability to syndicate listings to major sites like Rightmove and Zoopla.
It's especially popular with students, first-time landlords, and young professionals, thanks to its mobile-friendly interface, verified listings, and the optional Rent Now system, which enables secure, end-to-end digital tenancy creation.
Beyond just listings, OpenRent provides performance analytics, instant relisting tools, and visibility tracking, making it ideal for investors, landlords, and build-to-rent operators who want fast, transparent tenant placement with full control.
