Unis and students' unions working with Marks Out Of Tenancy
Features
Reviews are split into different boxes; landlord and/or letting agent, property and neighbourhood so it’s easy to identify what was good, bad or ugly about a tenancy
Landlords and letting agents have the right of reply
Bad word filter stops the obvious, Defamation filter stops potentially defamatory content going live
‘Tenants’ Tools’ helps renters keep all their images, documents, contacts and notes in one place See marksoutoftenancy.com/tenants-tools
‘Renters’ Resources’ articles help answer rights and responsibilities questions
We work with local authorities - have a look at marksoutoftenancy.com/local-authorities

We work with a wide range of students’ unions, universities and advice centres nationally
Feel free to contact any of the organisations listed on our Partners page to ascertain how we work together
There’s no legal obligation, contract or cost to ‘partner’ - if you think students would benefit from having more information about what to rent, who to rent from and where to live, tell them about the site

Reviews aren’t useful unless the info is fed back to those who need to see it
We provide insights and analytics to letting agents so they can use reviews to make improvements to their customer service levels
We charge per month, per branch for letting agents to get the in-depth analytics
