How do people find out about ApartmentRatings.com?

We thrive in large part thanks to word-of-mouth, PR, grass-roots efforts, and free advertising. We are listed in all of the major search engines and we have been featured by media such as The Washington Post, ABC News 7 - San Francisco, and News8Austin.

Does ApartmentRatings.com sell advertising?

Yes, but not to apartment communities. We don't sell advertising to apartment communities because to do so would create a conflict of loyalty between our advertisers and our users. For all other moving, relocation, and housing companies, we offer a number of flexible advertising packages at very reasonable rates. Go to http://www.ApartmentRatings.com/rate/advertise for more information.

How long will an opinion stay on the site?

Currently we don't have a policy for expiring reviewer's opinions.

Does ApartmentRatings.com filter or pre-screen opinions before they are posted to its site?

No, we do not filter or pre-screen any of the opinions posted to the site. We act as a passive conduit for information. As a result, we provide no guarantee as to the accuracy of the comments made in any particular opinion posted to the site. Like all user-submitted content on the Internet, visitors must judge for themselves the truthfulness and applicability of any opinions they read. Reviews posted on ApartmentRatings.com must be judged similar to the comments of an anonymous stranger who might approach you on the street. Only you can decide if the author's comments are true or not.

How can I report an opinion that violates the ApartmentRatings.com user agreement?

If you suspect that a review violates our User Agreement, you should use our Abuse Reporting form to contact our staff.

The opinion will be reviewed strictly for its adherence to the ApartmentRatings.com User Agreement. We are not in a position to judge the truthfulness of any author's comments, and we will not attempt to intervene in tenant-landlord disputes.

If a review violates the ApartmentRatings.com User Agreement, it may be removed from the site.
