Cancel Rentumo: The Right Way to Stop Charges

How to cancel your Rentumo subscription and reclaim your money in ireland

What Rentumo is and why you might want to cancel

Rentumo is a property search platform that aggregates rental listings across Ireland to help you find accommodation faster. The service offers a premium subscription with features like automated search alerts, instant listing matches, and priority access to new rental properties. You begin with a discounted four-day trial at €4, and your subscription automatically renews at €39.99 per month unless you cancel before the renewal date arrives. In Ireland's fast-moving rental market-particularly in Dublin and Cork-many subscribers sign up urgently during their property hunt, then realise they no longer need the service once they have secured a home. This sudden change in circumstances is why cancelling Rentumo quickly becomes your priority, and Tocancel is here to guide you through every step.

Why cancellation matters in ireland's competitive rental landscape

The rental search process in Ireland moves at speed. You may sign up for Rentumo to gain an advantage during your property search, then find accommodation within days or weeks. Once you have settled into a new home, paying €39.99 every month for search alerts you no longer need feels like unnecessary expense. The urgency of your initial sign-up often means you overlook the cancellation deadline, which is why many Irish renters find themselves charged without warning. Real users report signing up with high expectations, then feeling frustrated when auto-renewal charges arrive on their bank statement unexpectedly. Understanding how to cancel before your next billing date is essential to avoiding this frustration.

Rentumo's pricing structure and billing cycle

Your cancellation strategy depends entirely on knowing when your renewal date arrives and what charges apply at each stage. Here is the complete breakdown of Rentumo's pricing and what each element means for your cancellation deadline:

The key takeaway: mark your renewal date now and cancel at least 7 days before it to ensure your request processes in time.

Your consumer rights when cancelling Rentumo in ireland

Ireland's Consumer Rights Act 2022 grants you powerful legal protections when you cancel digital subscriptions, and Rentumo must comply with these rules regardless of its own terms.

What the consumer rights act 2022 guarantees you

Under Irish consumer law, you have a fourteen-day cooling-off period from the moment you confirm your purchase of any digital service, including Rentumo. This means you can cancel your subscription within 14 days of signing up and receive a full refund of any charges already taken, even if you used the trial period. The law does not allow Rentumo to deduct fees for your "use" of the service during the trial; the refund must be complete. Rentumo must process your refund within 14 days of your cancellation request. If the company fails to honour this deadline, you have grounds to dispute the charge through your bank's chargeback process. Additionally, Irish consumer law requires that Rentumo provide clear, easy-to-understand cancellation instructions at the point of purchase. If Rentumo buries its cancellation method or makes it deliberately difficult to find, that failure itself breaches consumer law. Your legal position is strong: you have the right to cancel, and the company must make that right easy to exercise.

How to enforce your rights if Rentumo refuses to cooperate

If Rentumo ignores your cancellation request or refuses to refund charges within the 14-day period, you have a clear escalation path. First, send a written email to [email protected] with the subject line "Formal cancellation request and refund claim" and include your full name, subscription reference number, the date you purchased, and the exact amount charged. Keep a copy of this email for your records. If Rentumo does not respond within 7 days or refuses your claim, contact the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC), Ireland's official consumer watchdog. The CCPC investigates breaches of consumer law and can compel Rentumo to refund your money. You can file a complaint online at ccpc.ie at no cost. If you paid by card, you can also initiate a chargeback with your bank; most banks allow this within 120 days of the charge. Tocancel recommends keeping all email correspondence and screenshots of your Rentumo account as evidence of your cancellation attempt.

How to cancel your Rentumo subscription step by step

Rentumo does not offer in-app or online cancellation, so you must contact the company directly in writing to trigger your cancellation request.

Method 1: cancel by sending a written letter to Rentumo

This is the most reliable method because it creates a documented record of your cancellation request, which protects you if a dispute arises later.

1. Gather your account information
   • Your full name as it appears on your Rentumo account
   • Your email address registered with Rentumo
   • Your subscription reference number (found in your confirmation email or invoice)
   • The date you signed up
   • The amount charged to your account
2. Write a formal cancellation letter
   • Use plain, direct language: "I wish to cancel my Rentumo subscription effective immediately"
   • Include all your account details so Rentumo can identify your subscription without delay
   • State the date you send the letter so you can prove you met the cancellation deadline if needed
   • If you are cancelling within 14 days, explicitly request a full refund
   • Request written confirmation of your cancellation within 7 days
3. Send your letter to Rentumo's registered address
   • Post your letter to: Rentumo Ltd, Store Kongensgade 17A, 1264 Copenhagen, Denmark
   • Send it via registered or tracked post so you have proof of delivery
   • Allow 10-14 days for your letter to arrive and for Rentumo to process your request
4. Follow up by email
   • Send a copy of your cancellation letter to [email protected]
   • In the email, state that you have also sent the letter by post and include the date you posted it
   • This creates a second record of your cancellation and speeds up processing
5. Document your cancellation request
   • Save all emails sent and received
   • Take a screenshot of your bank statement showing the original charge
   • Keep the proof of posting from Royal Mail
   • Store these documents for at least 12 months

Method 2: cancel via email for speed

If you need faster cancellation (for example, if your renewal date is within the next 5 days), email Rentumo directly.

1. Open your email and create a new message to [email protected]
2. Use a clear subject line: "Subscription cancellation request - [your name]"
3. Write a concise cancellation message
   • State: "I wish to cancel my Rentumo subscription effective immediately"
   • Include your full name, email address, and subscription reference number
   • Include the date you signed up and the amount of your last charge
   • If within 14 days, request a full refund with a specific reason (for example, "I have secured accommodation and no longer require the service")
   • Request written confirmation within 48 hours
4. Send the email and note the exact time sent
5. Check your spam folder and monitor for a reply for 7 days
6. If you receive no response within 7 days, send a follow-up email and escalate to the CCPC

Method 3: use tocancel's assistance service

If you prefer to delegate the cancellation to a trusted third party, Tocancel offers a cancellation assistance service. Tocancel handles all communication with Rentumo on your behalf, tracks your cancellation status, and pursues refunds if the company delays. This approach eliminates stress and ensures nothing falls through the cracks. You simply provide your account details to Tocancel, and the team manages the rest, providing you with regular updates until your cancellation is confirmed.

Timeline and deadline for cancelling Rentumo

Your cancellation deadline depends on whether you are within the 14-day cooling-off period or cancelling after that window closes.

Your action: identify your sign-up date today, count forward 14 days, and mark that date in your calendar as your refund deadline.

What to expect after you cancel Rentumo

Once you submit your cancellation request, several things happen in sequence, and knowing what to expect helps you confirm that Rentumo processed your cancellation correctly.

Immediate steps after cancellation

Within 1-2 business days of your cancellation request, Rentumo should send you a confirmation email to the address associated with your account. This email should include your cancellation date, your subscription reference number, and confirmation that no further charges will be applied. If you are within the 14-day cooling-off period and requested a refund, the email should also confirm the refund amount (€4 or €39.99 depending on what was charged) and the expected refund date. Save this confirmation email immediately; you will need it if any dispute arises later.

Refund processing timeline

If Rentumo approved your refund, the money should return to your original payment method within 14 days of your cancellation request. If you paid by debit card or credit card, the refund appears as a credit on your next statement. If you paid via Apple Pay, Google Pay, or PayPal, the refund returns to that account. Check your bank statement or payment app roughly 7-10 days after you cancelled to confirm the refund posted. If 14 days pass and you see no refund credit, contact Rentumo immediately and escalate to your bank if necessary.

Verify your access has ended

After cancellation, attempt to log into your Rentumo account. Ideally, you should receive an error message stating that your subscription has ended and access is no longer available. If you can still log in and access premium features (search alerts, priority listings), contact Rentumo again and inform them that your cancellation did not take effect. This is a sign that your cancellation request was not processed correctly. Tocancel recommends taking a screenshot of this error or access issue to document the problem for the CCPC if you need to escalate further.

Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Rentumo

Many Irish renters rush through the cancellation process and make small errors that delay their refunds or create unnecessary disputes with Rentumo. Here are the pitfalls to sidestep.

Mistake 1: waiting until after your renewal date

If you delay your cancellation past your monthly billing date, Rentumo will charge you €39.99 for another month. Once that charge posts, you lose your automatic right to a refund even if you cancel immediately afterwards. Your only option then is to request a discretionary refund from Rentumo customer service and escalate to the CCPC if they refuse. Set a phone alarm or calendar reminder for 7 days before your renewal date so you cancel in time.

Mistake 2: cancelling only through email if your deadline is tight

Email cancellations can take 7-10 days to process because Rentumo's customer service team manually handles each request. If your 14-day cooling-off period ends in the next 5 days, email alone may not be fast enough. Send both an email and a registered letter simultaneously to create redundancy and ensure at least one reaches Rentumo in time. Tocancel prioritises speed in its cancellation service for this exact reason.

Mistake 3: not requesting written confirmation

Never assume your cancellation went through just because you sent an email or letter. Always explicitly request written confirmation of your cancellation within 48-72 hours. If Rentumo does not respond, send a follow-up email with the subject line "Follow-up: Cancellation confirmation required." Without written proof that you cancelled, you have no evidence if a dispute arises later with your bank or the CCPC.

Mistake 4: ignoring a charge that appears after you cancelled

If a charge appears on your bank statement after you submitted your cancellation request, act immediately. Do not assume it is an error that will resolve itself. Contact your bank and initiate a chargeback claim, then email Rentumo with the subject line "Disputed charge - cancellation processed on [date]." Provide your cancellation confirmation email as evidence. The longer you wait to dispute a charge, the harder it becomes to recover your money.

Mistake 5: not keeping copies of everything

Screenshots, email copies, bank statements, and proof of posting are your insurance policy if Rentumo refuses to cooperate. Store all of these documents in a folder on your computer or in cloud storage for at least 12 months. If you ever need to file a complaint with the CCPC, these documents will be essential evidence that you attempted to cancel in good faith.

Refund eligibility and how to claim yours

Your right to a refund depends entirely on when you cancel, and the Consumer Rights Act 2022 draws a clear line at 14 days.

When you are eligible for a full refund

You qualify for a complete refund of all charges if you cancel within 14 days of purchasing your Rentumo subscription. This applies to the €4 trial charge and the €39.99 monthly subscription charge, even if both were charged during this 14-day window. The law does not allow Rentumo to deduct fees for your use of the service or to impose a cancellation penalty. Your right to a refund is absolute during this period. Rentumo must refund your money within 14 days of receiving your cancellation request. If the company argues that you used the service and therefore are not entitled to a refund, that argument has no legal standing in Ireland; the Consumer Rights Act 2022 overrides any such clause in Rentumo's terms and conditions.

What happens if you cancel after 14 days

Once the 14-day cooling-off period ends, you no longer have an automatic right to a refund for charges already taken. However, you can still cancel your subscription to prevent future charges. For example, if you cancel on day 20, Rentumo will not refund the €39.99 you paid on day 15, but your subscription ends and no charge on day 45 is applied. You can request a discretionary refund from Rentumo customer service by explaining your circumstances (for example, you secured accommodation sooner than expected), but the company is not legally required to grant it. If Rentumo refuses and you believe their service was misleading or of poor quality, you can file a complaint with the CCPC, which may investigate whether the company breached other consumer rights.

How to track your refund status

After Rentumo confirms your refund, monitor your bank or payment app for the credit. Most refunds post within 7-10 business days, but some can take up to 14 days depending on your bank's processing speed. You should see the refund as a transaction in your account history. If you paid via a third-party payment method (for example, PayPal or Apple Pay), the refund returns to that service first, which may take an additional 1-3 days to transfer to your bank. If 14 days pass and you see no refund, contact Rentumo and ask for a refund reference number, then contact your bank and ask them to trace the refund on Rentumo's end.

Rentumo contact information and mailing address

To cancel your Rentumo subscription, contact the company using one of these methods. Remember to keep copies of all correspondence for your records.

Email contact

Send your cancellation request to: [email protected]. Use a clear subject line such as "Subscription cancellation request" and include all your account details in the body of the email. Request written confirmation within 48 hours.

Postal address for written cancellation

Mail your formal cancellation letter to:

Rentumo Ltd
Store Kongensgade 17A, 1
1264 Copenhagen
Denmark

Send your letter via registered or tracked post. Allow 10-14 days for delivery and processing.

What to include in your cancellation letter or email

• Your full name exactly as it appears on your Rentumo account
• Your email address and phone number (if on file)
• Your subscription reference number
• The date you signed up
• The date and amount of your last charge
• Your request to cancel effective immediately
• Request for confirmation of cancellation within 7 days
• If within 14 days, your request for a full refund and the reason for your cancellation

Escalation: what to do if Rentumo refuses to cancel

If Rentumo does not respond to your cancellation request within 7 days, or if the company refuses to cancel or refund your money, you have clear escalation options under Irish consumer law.

Step 1: send a formal complaint to Rentumo

Email [email protected] with the subject line "Formal complaint: Cancellation request not honoured." State that you submitted a cancellation request on [date], that Rentumo has not responded or has refused to cancel, and that you are giving the company 7 days to respond in writing before you escalate to the CCPC. Include copies of your original cancellation request and any responses from Rentumo. This formal tone often prompts a faster response from customer service.

Step 2: file a complaint with the competition and consumer protection commission (CCPC)

If Rentumo ignores your formal complaint or refuses to cooperate, file a complaint with the CCPC, which is Ireland's official consumer watchdog and has the power to investigate and compel businesses to comply with consumer law. You can file a complaint online at ccpc.ie. Provide the CCPC with:

• Your name and contact details
• A description of the problem (for example, "Rentumo refused to cancel my subscription despite my written request")
• Copies of your cancellation request emails and any responses from Rentumo
• Your bank statement showing the charge
• Proof of posting if you sent a letter
• The specific consumer law you believe Rentumo breached (reference the Consumer Rights Act 2022)

The CCPC will investigate your complaint and contact Rentumo. If the company is found to have breached consumer law, the CCPC can compel Rentumo to refund your money and may impose additional penalties. This process is free for you.

Step 3: initiate a chargeback with your bank

If you paid Rentumo by debit or credit card, you can initiate a chargeback with your bank. Contact your bank's dispute department and explain that you cancelled your Rentumo subscription but were charged anyway, or that you cancelled within 14 days and Rentumo refused to refund. Provide your bank with copies of your cancellation emails and Rentumo's responses (or lack thereof). Most banks allow chargebacks within 120 days of the charge, though some extend this to 180 days. Your bank will investigate and, if satisfied that your claim is valid, will reverse the charge and credit your account. Rentumo will then need to argue with your bank if they want to recover the money, which is unlikely.
