I used Rent Max about a year ago to find a cheap place. They gave me a list of cheap rentals in the areas I was looking for. I found a cute little house with a yard for only $300/month. The landlord worked with me on the deposit, and I ened up staying there for the first two weeks without paying anything! I'm looking for a new place again, and I will definately use Rent Max again. My contract has expired with them, so I will have to pay the fee again. I think it's well worth it, though. They saved me a lot of time by providing me with the list of places in my price range so I didn't have to search. They are not a scam at all.
