Can You Review Your Landlord? What Renters Should Know

Tenant reviews are most useful when they are factual, specific, and focused on your own experience.

Describe what happened

Concrete details are more useful than broad labels or insults.

Separate facts from opinions

Explain the events behind your opinion so future renters have context.

Protect private information

Do not post sensitive personal data, account information, or information that is not necessary to explain the rental experience.

Be fair about what went well

Balanced reviews can be more credible and useful, even when the overall experience was negative.

Update when appropriate

If an issue is resolved or circumstances materially change, consider updating your review to reflect the full experience.
