Free Renter Protection Tools

Is This Rental Real?

Five public-records checks on a rental you're interested in. We surface facts from county records, the MLS, and rental comps — then tell you what to ask, and who to ask.

We do not issue a verdict on the listing or the person offering it. Each check ends with a specific question — usually one to ask the licensed listing agent on file. You make the call.

Asking monthly rent (optional but recommended)

Lets Check 2 compare the rent you've been quoted to local comps. We do not store this number — only a flag that you provided one.

How it works

Step 1

Enter the address

Type the property address (and the rent you've been quoted, if you want a market reading).

Step 2

Five public-records checks run

We pull facts from county records, MLS, and rental comp data — then explain what each one means to you.

Step 3

You get questions to ask

Each check ends with a specific action — usually a question to ask the licensed listing agent on file. We never make a verdict; you decide.

The five checks

1.Property reality. Does the address exist in public records, and what does the county say it is?
2.Rent vs. local market. Median rent for nearby comparables, and where the rent you've been quoted falls.
3.For-sale status. Is the property currently being sold? If yes, who's the licensed listing agent to call.
4.Foreclosure status. Public-records foreclosure activity + your rights as a tenant of a foreclosed property.
5.Clone listings. Whether the same address appears at conflicting prices on other rental sites.

Every check is sourced and dated. We never publish the recorded owner's name. We never label a listing or a person as fraudulent.
