What we do
RentGuide publishes plain-English comparison guides for the services that renters and landlords use most — renters insurance, landlord insurance, property management software, background-check services, rent-reporting services, internet plans, moving, and more. Our goal is to help you pick a sensible option in minutes instead of hours, without wading through sales copy.
Our network
RentGuide is part of a network of 178,260+ renters across 8 local apartment and house rental communities on Facebook, primarily in Florida. We've been running these groups for years; they're how we learn what renters and landlords actually struggle with, which informs which categories and questions we cover here.

How we pick offers
For each category, we start with the products that are most commonly used, asked about, and recommended in our communities. We then narrow to the ones that meet a few practical criteria:
- The product is currently available to a meaningful share of the audience the category serves
- The pricing structure is published and reasonably easy to understand
- The provider is established enough that a typical reader will be able to find independent reviews
- The features the provider claims actually deliver on the basics for the use case
We then write the editorial copy — the introduction, the highlights, the pricing summary — in-house. Advertisers do not write or approve our editorial copy.
How we get paid
RentGuide is an independent, advertising-supported website. We earn money when our readers click links, submit applications, or open accounts with the products we cover. We disclose this clearly on every comparison page and in our full Affiliate Disclosure.
Compensation can affect the order in which offers appear — see the Affiliate Disclosure for an honest explanation of how — but we do not accept payment in exchange for a specific rating or written endorsement.
Errors and corrections
Pricing, features, and availability change frequently. If you spot something that's wrong, out of date, or unclear, please send a quick note to editorial@rentguide.io with a link to the page and what you saw. We aim to confirm or correct within a few business days.
