Greetings,
I've been renting apartments for about fifteen years. I had a very bad
experience with a landlord a few years ago and really wished I could
have avoided it. I've also had one very good experience and a couple
others that have been so-so.
I've created a web-site that I hope will help others find a good
landlord and avoid the bad ones The web-site is free, but it won't be
any good unless folks visit and add their experiences. I hope you
check it out:
http://ratemylandlord.com/
It's just been opened up, so the number of landlords in the database is
sparse ... that's where you come in. Please register for a free
account at http://ratemylandlord.com/register/ and then add and rate
your landlord.
Wondering about the landlord who owns or manages the property you're
about to rent? Want to provide some feedback on your current or prior
landlord? ratemylandlord.com is the place. The intent is for the site
to be utilitarian; a place for you to add information about your past
landlords so that others may benefit from your experiences, and a
resource for you to use to learn about your potential landlord.
Odds are that every time you've rented an apartment you've been
required to provide references to the landlord but haven't had the
opportunity to check the landlord's references. Now you do. This site
depends primarily on the folks using it. It will only ever be as
useful as the quality and quantity of data provided by its members.
But if you're angry at your landlord then please wait a while before
you rate them. Ratings or comments added while you're upset won't
benefit anyone.
If you have ideas about what to do with the site, want to contribute to
its design, are more design-oriented than black-and-white, want to
design a logo or a style sheet, have a suggestion for a feature, or
have other comments or suggestions then please let us know via
http://ratemylandlord.com/aboutus/contact.html
If you find the site useful (or at least promising :-) then please tell
a friend (http://ratemylandlord.com/aboutus/tellafriend.html).
Please register for a free account at

See you there!
