“Rate My Landlord” website gets mixed reviews from students, landlords
The ASUM Off-Campus Renter Center launched its new “Rate My Landlord” website late last spring. So far, the site is largely unknown to students and property managers, but it is already causing some controversy. Reporter Kyle Schmauch and photographer Don Fisher talked to student renter Amanda Bryant, Real Estate Management Group Operations Manager Brittni Hertz, and Renter Center Director Katherine Brady. Bryant reported a bad private landlord on the site after breaking her lease and scrambling to find housing at the start of the school year. Hertz says the site has been mostly negative toward property managers, but says it could be beneficial for all parties if the public could see it and if it was better regulated. Brady says the site is just trying to inform students who are at a disadvantage with the rental market in Missoula.
