Track and expose ignored fixes in your dorm – crowdsource pressure on bad landlords.
Student tenants in proptech-managed housing submit maintenance tickets via apps that are unresponsive, with landlords routinely ignoring them.
RentRadar creates anonymous public radars of unresolved PBSA issues, letting students upvote and share group radars to landlords and unis. It gamifies reporting with badges and predicts fix times based on community data. Landlords fix faster to avoid bad radar rankings.
