Rate Your Landlord

Landlords run a business that profits off a basic human need: shelter. As a result of the basic power imbalance between those who can own multiple homes and those who can’t even afford one the whole landlord tenet relationship is prone to exploitation. The power imbalance is furthered by landlord groups that lobby for less protection for humans seeking shelter and informal landlord groups that share tips on how to exploit renters. To give renters a leg up a new website call Rate the Landlord allows for tenets to rate and comment on landlords so that fellow renters can make educated decisions about who they will give money for their shelter to.

Rate the Landlord was created as a tool for tenants to stay informed about housing the same way we stay informed about every other business, through crowd-sourced reviews.

We know that tenants are often in the dark when it comes to renting with a new landlord. This conflicts with the standards we hold for every other business and service where reviews allow the consumer to make an informed decision based on reports of quality and conduct.

Something as important as housing shouldn’t be an exception. Reviewing landlords alongside other businesses will make for a more transparent marketplace. By sharing rental experiences, tenants can help others avoid situations of negligence or mistreatment and find landlords who will uphold best practices and adhere to their local legislation.

Share your experiences, read the reviews, and help us keep one another safe, informed, and empowered.
