It\u2019s the website where people go to check user ratings on hotels, apartments and anything else trip-related. In many ways TripAdvisor can be really useful. In fact I would hesitate to book a trip abroad without checking reviews of hotels I am considering paying a fortune to stay in. Well one enterprising individual has decided to create a TripAdvisor website for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.propertyportfoliosoftware.co.uk\/index.php?cmd=videos&amp;prod=\">tenants and landlords<\/a>. So how does it work?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rate Your Landlord<\/strong><br \/>\nRentalRaters has been launched by Hannah Williams, who says:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe main catalyst for me starting up the site was a very good friend of mine was stung very, very badly by a rogue landlord. He said to me \u2013 and the words really resonated \u2013 \u2018I just wish that I could stand outside that property and tell other tenants as they\u2019re walking through the door, don\u2019t do it, he will rip you off, nothing works.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does RentalRaters Work?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe website aims to make it easier for tenants to avoid rogue landlords by allowing them to post reviews on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.propertyportfoliosoftware.co.uk\/video.create_tenant.html#watch-demo-anchor\">rental properties<\/a>. Tenants considering moving into a new property will be able to perform a search on the RentalRaters website and see if the address yields any dodgy reviews. And if it does, they have the option to steer clear and rent somewhere else instead.<\/p>\n<p>All reviewers are verified in order to reduce the number of bogus reviews.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Landlord\u2019s Right to Respond<\/strong><br \/>\nLandlords have the option to respond to any reviews they are not happy with and if the information posted is malicious or simply untrue, they can request that the review is removed via the website\u2019s \u2018take down\u2019 policy. Reviews about properties owned by a previous landlord can also be removed via the same means.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everyone has heard of TripAdvisor.
