How does Marks Out Of Tenancy protect landlords from defamation and defamatory content?
All reviews pass through filters that check review content for defamatory or potentially defamatory text.
The same filters are used when you reply to a tenant.
How does Marks Out Of Tenancy protect landlords from malicious ratings?
We use Bayesian weighting algorithms to calculate rating scores on Marks Out Of Tenancy.
To get a 10 out of 10 score a landlord needs to get several 10 out of 10 ratings.
Similarly to get a 1 out of 10 score a landlord needs to get several 1 of out 10 ratings.
The more reviews a landlord gets, the 'truer' the rating becomes.
Using this system we protect landlords against malicious ratings affecting your landlord score.

Why is Marks Out Of Tenancy good for landlords?
As a professional landlord you'll know there are hundreds of pieces of legislation you have to adhere to.
Licenses, fees, databases, and certifications all need to be kept up-to-date.
These have been put in place by central and local government in an attempt to reduce the number of unsavoury, rogue and often illegal operators.
But they continue to operate.
Historically there was no way for a tenant or a local authority to know if a landlord was good or bad.
All landlords were tarred with the same brush.
We built Marks Out Of Tenancy to help the market forces to drive improvement rather than rely on regulatory forces to do so.
More and more legislation won't root out the rogue landlords, but reviews from their tenants will.
It's polarising the decent, hard-working, law-abiding landlords apart from the bad.
