A public health-focused tenant housing review platform for Boston renters.
Tenants rate their apartment unit, building, and landlord using a structured survey: a 27-item rating instrument grounded in validated housing quality research (OHQS, PHQS, WHO LARES) plus 5 ancillary context questions (32 total). The platform addresses information asymmetry in rental markets by giving tenants a way to research landlords before signing a lease.
