I should feel bad for the original poster....but I don't. It's all part of running a business. I've noticed that even when Rentman ads expire, you can still contact the person....it just says that the ad has expired.
By the way, it cuts both ways. I've had experiences with Rentmen where they cancel at the last minute...and a few never showed up. One guy insisted on 50% up front and then he canceled on me......I did wind up seeing him 5 days later but he was about 4 hours late. He did, however, stay for 5 hours (I paid for 3) so he did make it up.
I even had an experience last week where the Rentman texted me several hours before our appointment that his hotel would not allow guests to come up to the rooms and that he didn't see how I would be able to see him. Wasn't sure if this was real....or if he got a better deal and decided to double book me. Whatever......
