Description
Like Glassdoor, but for landlords and rental properties. Rate maintenance, communication, and fairness.
## The Problem Renters have no way to check if a landlord is trustworthy before signing a lease. Bad landlords can ruin lives with poor maintenance, security deposit theft, and unfair practices. ## The Solution A verified review platform where tenants can: - Rate landlords on maintenance speed, communication, fairness - Share photos of property conditions - Report legal violations - See landlord response times and patterns ## Why It's Needed Reddit threads about bad landlords get 60,000+ upvotes. This is a massive pain point affecting 44 million renters in the US alone. ## Monetization - Premium for landlords to respond to reviews - Background check integration for tenants - Property management company subscriptions
Target Audience

This could literally save people from nightmare situations. I lived in a place with black mold for 6 months because I had no idea the landlord was notorious for ignoring maintenance. 100% would use this.
Great idea! For verification, you could integrate with rental payment apps like Zelle/Venmo to prove tenancy. Also add photo verification of the actual property.
Love the concept but worried about fake reviews. How would you verify that someone actually rented from that landlord? Maybe require lease documentation?
As someone who's moved 8 times in 5 years (digital nomad life), I NEED this. The number of times I've been scammed by landlords who looked legit... Please build this!
This is BRILLIANT! I've been a landlord for 10 years and good landlords would actually LOVE this. It separates us from the slumlords. Would definitely pay for the premium to respond to reviews and showcase my properties.
