Agreement to terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and RentGuide ("RentGuide", "we", "us", "our") governing your access to and use of the website at rentguide.io and any related pages (the "Site"). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction if greater, to use the Site.
Use of the site
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, RentGuide grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and view the Site for your personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, scrape, frame, or create derivative works of the Site or any of its content without our prior written consent, except as expressly permitted by these Terms or applicable law.
Informational only — no professional advice
RentGuide publishes comparison information about services that may be useful to renters and landlords. The content on the Site is provided for general informational purposes only and is not legal, financial, tax, insurance, real estate, or other professional advice. Specifically:
- RentGuide is not a licensed insurance agency, broker, or producer, and we do not sell insurance.
- RentGuide is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice or services. Reading the Site does not create an attorney-client relationship.
- RentGuide is not a credit repair organization or financial advisor. Rent-reporting and credit-related services described on the Site are provided by third parties under their own terms.
- RentGuide is not a property management company, landlord, real estate brokerage, or moving company.
Before acting on anything you read on RentGuide, consult a qualified licensed professional in the relevant field and the actual product or service provider's documentation. Your decisions are your own responsibility.
Advertising and affiliate links
RentGuide is an independent, advertising-supported website. Some or all of the offers that appear on our comparison pages are from third-party advertisers from which we receive compensation, including when you click a link, when an application is submitted, or when an account is opened. This compensation may impact how and where products appear on the Site (including the order in which they appear). See our full Affiliate Disclosure for details.
Third-party services and links
The comparisons and listings on the Site reference products and services operated by third parties. RentGuide is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by those third parties unless explicitly stated. We do not operate, control, or guarantee any third-party product or service.
When you click an outbound link, you leave the Site and enter a separate website that has its own terms and privacy policy. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, availability, security, or practices of any third-party site, including any products purchased or applications submitted on those sites.
Accuracy of information
We work to keep the information on the Site useful and reasonably current, but pricing, features, availability, eligibility, terms, and other details of third-party services change frequently and without notice. Some information may be out of date, incomplete, or in error. Always confirm any detail that matters to your decision directly with the provider before signing up or paying.
Intellectual property
The Site, including its text, layout, design, graphics, and code, is owned by RentGuide or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. "RentGuide" and the RentGuide logo are trademarks of RentGuide. Third-party product names, logos, and brands are the property of their respective owners and are used for identification purposes only — their use does not imply endorsement.
Prohibited conduct
You agree not to:
- Use the Site in any way that violates applicable law or regulation
- Scrape, harvest, or otherwise collect data from the Site in bulk without our written permission
- Interfere with or disrupt the Site, including by introducing malware, conducting denial-of-service attacks, or probing for vulnerabilities outside a responsibly disclosed program
- Attempt to access non-public areas of the Site, our systems, or our providers' systems
- Misrepresent your affiliation with RentGuide

RENTGUIDE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ANY DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL RENTGUIDE, ITS OWNERS, OPERATORS, AFFILIATES, OR CONTRIBUTORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUES, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE SITE, ANY THIRD-PARTY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES ACCESSED THROUGH THE SITE, OR THESE TERMS, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT RENTGUIDE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless RentGuide and its owners, operators, and affiliates from and against any claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the Site, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or the rights of any third party.
Governing law and dispute resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site that is not subject to binding arbitration will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Palm Beach County, Florida, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.
Changes to these terms
We may modify these Terms at any time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects when the current version took effect. If we make material changes, we will post a notice on the Site for at least 30 days. Your continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time, with or without notice or reason. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination — including limitations of liability, disclaimers, indemnification, intellectual property, and governing law — will survive.
