Ratings and reviews

On the home app, the rental app, and the website, it is impossible to access your messages to sellers. I receive an email saying there is a reply to my message and when i click on my inbox, there are no messages. On the forums, this has been an issue for years now. If I can't communicate with sellers or schedule a tour, I can't actually get the place I'm looking at.

App keeps defaulting to rentals that do not allow pets. I have my filters set to show only rentals that do allow pets. This has led to multiple disappointing moments where we think we've found a possible rental, but it's not the case. Another issue is that some rentals will stop appearing on the app. You can still find them on the website, but not in the app. Uninstalling.

Like a lot of people, I need to keep my kids in a particular school district. The app lets me search that way, but the emails send me nearby rentals outside that zone. It would also be good to have "contact manager" under "pets" as a search option, since that includes about 90% of listings and there's no other way to screen out the "no pets" listings.
