Editorial standards
How a post gets from draft to the page.
Page revised
-
Who writes
Every post is signed RentRollBase Editorial Team. Posts start as machine drafts. Software and an outside model check each one before it is filed.
-
What gets checked
Each claim that could be wrong is checked against a source, and the source is listed at the end of the post. Examples are labelled as examples.
-
Rules that depend on where you are
Deposit and notice rules differ by state. A post states such a rule only when it names the state and the source. Otherwise it tells you what to look up.
-
Fair housing
Leasing and advertising posts follow one idea: describe the unit, not who should live in it. Screening criteria in a post are examples. Write your own, keep them in writing and apply them the same way every time.
-
What we leave out
No invented numbers, people, awards, clients or reader counts. No promises about rent, occupancy or results.
-
Dates
Each post shows the day it went up and the day it was last checked. Checking it again moves the second date. Fixing a typo does not.
