Trust & Safety
Every plan starts with trust.
From sign-up to sign-off, Rent a Local Friend is built around verification, consent, and accountability.
Verified sign-in
Every account starts with a real Google login. No anonymous profiles.
Community Pledge
Every member agrees to meet with respect and consent before joining.
Vibe Check
Both sides confirm every meetup happened, building trust over time.
Who you’re meeting is who they say they are
We don’t allow anonymous accounts. Every profile starts with a verified Google sign-in — no throwaway logins, no bots.
Everyone agrees to the same values before they join
- Every connection is consensual — friendship, activities, or dating.
- Treat every member with dignity, kindness, and respect.
- Meet only in public, safe spaces for first meetings.
- Complete a Vibe Check after every meetup, honestly.
If something goes wrong, tell us
If a member breaks the pledge, makes you uncomfortable, or you spot a fake profile, contact our safety team at admin@rentalocalfriend.organd we’ll investigate.
Keeping payments on-platform also avoids the common off-platform red flags described in the FTC’s guidance on romance scams.
