We've Heard Your Story
Sound familiar?
Months of Unpaid Rent
"They paid the first 2 months, then nothing. Took 5 months to evict. Lost $8,500."
Property Destruction
"Holes in every wall, destroyed carpet, broken appliances. $12,000 in repairs."
Neighbor Complaints
"Constant noise complaints. Police called multiple times. Other tenants threatened to leave."
Legal Nightmare
"6 months of tribunal hearings, lawyer fees, lost work. Mentally exhausting."
You're Not Crazy. It Really Was That Bad.
The financial loss is brutal, but the emotional toll is worse. The constant stress, the feeling of being taken advantage of, the anger at a system that protects problem tenants—it's all valid.
You can't undo what happened. But you can help make sure it doesn't happen to someone else.
Why Your Review Actually Matters
Your experience can save other landlords from the same nightmare
❌ The Current Problem
Bad Tenants Bounce Around Easily
After you finally evict them, they just move to the next property. The next landlord has no idea what they're in for. They provide fake references, lie about their rental history, and do it all over again.
No Permanent Record
Unless you report tribunal decisions yourself, there's no easy way for the next landlord to know. Credit reports don't show the full picture. Phone references can be faked. The problem keeps repeating.
You Felt Alone
When you were going through it, you probably wished someone had warned you. You felt stupid for not seeing the red flags. But how could you have known?

Real Impact Story
"I left a review after evicting a tenant who owed $7,000 in rent and destroyed the unit. Six months later, another landlord reached out to thank me—they'd found my review while screening that same tenant and declined the application. Knowing I saved someone else from that hell made me feel like the nightmare actually meant something."

Landlord Testimonial
"I searched OptimizedRentals before showing my property to an applicant. Found a detailed review from another landlord in a different city describing exactly the same red flags I'd noticed—overly pushy, too many excuses about references. Plus an eviction order from 18 months ago for $6,500 in unpaid rent. I politely declined their application. The next week they applied to a friend of mine—I sent him the review and he declined too. That's how community protection should work."

How to Write a Good Review
Focus on facts, not emotions. Be specific, not vague.
Do This
- Be specific: "Tenant paid rent late 8 out of 12 months, averaging 15 days past due date."
- Include dates: "Lease started Jan 2023, ended May 2024 (evicted for non-payment)."
- Describe damages: "Left 6 holes in living room walls, broken window, carpet stained beyond cleaning."
- Quote costs: "Owed $5,200 in unpaid rent. Repairs cost $3,800. Security deposit was $1,500."
- Mention legal outcomes: "LTB eviction order granted on [date]. Monetary order for $5,200."
- Note communication: "Ignored 15+ messages about rent. Never responded to maintenance notices."
Don't Do This
- Avoid vague statements: ❌ "Worst tenant ever."
- Don't make it personal: ❌ "They're a terrible person who doesn't care about anyone."
- Don't exaggerate: ❌ "Destroyed the entire property." (unless literally true)
- Skip emotional language: ❌ "Made my life a living hell."
- Avoid speculation: ❌ "I think they were running an illegal business."
- Don't include protected info: ❌ Details about race, religion, family status, etc.
