The Shit Rental Radar is an interactive map that allows renters to anonymously share the conditions of their current and past rentals. The Radar provides renters with a resource to collectively fight (shitrentalradar.org)

Awesome idea! Wish this was a nationwide website

Kind of annoying that the "contribute" page on the site is actually a donate link. I thought it was info on how to get involved in the project.

Right now this site only covers part of Washington state, USA, so it's not very useful for others yet. That said, I did vote for my area in Canada and included a list of the shitty property management companies nearby.

This NEEDS to be rolled out to Canada, specifically Ontario. Our legal system for dealing with rental disputes is so overwhelmed that landlords are just doing as they please with no regard for the law.

Just wait until the landlords find the app and then either sue the devs or just fill the place with out of control bots/people in 3rd world countries spamming great reviews on a property.
