Frequently Asked Questions

 
  • What is RentalHistory.net?
    • An easy, affordable way to help protect yourself against bad renters and to find better ones.
  • How do I benefit?
    • It's a list of bad renters. Join in and get access to the list, potentially saving you hundreds of dollars.
  • How does it work?
    • It's simple. The list of bad renters will grow as more landlords join in. Then everyone who is a participating landlord will get year round access to the entire database. It works best if we band together and share our bad tenant info with each other.
  • How do names get on the list?
    • As each landlord joins, he or she adds their tenant info into our easy access control panel.
  • Can I add good renters to the list?
    • You bet! We want to help you find the best renters possible. When you give the renter a positive rating, the computer will give the Green light!
  • Can someone be removed from the list?
    • Yes, in some cases. If the tenant has made good with the former landlord and that same landlord feels that they should be removed, then they can login and mark it appropriately.
  • How are disputes handled?
    • RentalHistory.net employs a List Moderator who constantly monitors all activity. If there is a dispute, the Moderator will usually ask both parties to provide documentation and to seek legal counsel if an agreement cannot be reached.
  • How do I find out if someone is on the list?
    • It's easy. Type any part of their name, or their last four or even part of their date of birth into the search box at RentalHistory.net and click the button!
  • I don't use a computer. Will you enter my tenant info for me?
    • Yes, we can do it for 50 cents per tenant record entered.
  • What happens to the landlords that don't participate?
    • It seems likely that they would end up with most of the bad renters. Word will get around.
  • Does it matter how many units I have?
    • No, it's the same price for everyone. $150 per year to access the entire database anytime.
  • Is it legal?
    • Yes. All information we do store is either public record, password protected, encrypted and available only to participating landlords.
  • Is this site Secure? How safe is the info?
    • RentalHistory.net is secured by our 128bit encryption SSL Certificate and all of our information is stored behind your password protected login.
  • How much does it cost?
    • It's only $150 for full access to our full database of tenant info.
  • Will tenants have access to RentalHistory.net?
    • No. This service is exclusively reserved for Landlords.
  • Can I edit my listings once I have added them?
    • Yes, you will have full control over the information that you enter.
  • Will other landlords have access to my list?
    • Landlords cannot just view someone elses entire list. However, you are able to individually search for anyone, anytime which does draw from the entire national database of tenant info.
  • Can landlords share their access to RentalHistory.net with other landlords?
    • No shared accounts please. $150 per year is the licensing fee for each landlord. We do track every login and reserve the right to terminate your access if this policy is abused.
  • What if I don't want to put my tenant info in?
    • This service works best if everyone participates. If you need help typing your tenant info into the computer, we can help with that (50 cents each tenant record).
  • What if a tenant wants a printed report of his/her listing on RentalHistory.net?
    • Landlords can, at their discretion, provide an applicant with a printed copy of their own listing.
