About Us

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.

Moderation Policy

Tenants visit Rate The Landlord to find information on prospective landlords based on reviews from their previous tenants. We will carefully moderate the submitted reviews to ensure they are relevant, appropriate, and respect the privacy of both parties.

We strictly prohibit the posting of threats, hate speech, lewd or discriminatory language.

At Rate The Landlord, privacy is important. A landlord's name is used in reviews because they operate a business under that name. However, we do not permit the posting of addresses, phone numbers, or any personal information related to the landlord or other parties involved.

Any reviews found in violation of this policy will be amended or removed at our discretion. We remain neutral and will not engage in factual disputes regarding the content of the reviews.
