Review guidelines

One rule underneath all of these: write about what happened to you.

What makes a good review

  • Specifics beat verdicts. How long a repair took is more useful than a rating alone.
  • Amounts and timelines are the most valuable thing you can include: what was withheld, how long something went unfixed, what changed at renewal.
  • Write it even if the year was unremarkable. Reviews skew negative when only frustrated tenants bother, and that helps nobody.

What we hold for review

These get a quick human look before going live. It isn't a rejection. We don't keep your email address, so we can't write to you, but the link in your confirmation email always shows where your review stands.

  • Naming individual people who aren't the landlord (staff, neighbors, roommates).
  • Accusing someone of a crime. Describe what happened instead: “withheld $800 with no itemized list” says more than “they stole from me”, and it's a claim about your own experience.
  • Phone numbers, emails, or anyone's home address.
  • Threats, slurs, or insults with nothing factual attached.

If you're a landlord

If a review about you is factually wrong or breaks the guidelines above, report it and we'll look at it properly. We can't tell you who wrote it. We don't know ourselves.
