About RentRadar
Built for a fairer rental market
RentRadar started with a simple observation: landlords know everything about their tenants. Tenants know almost nothing about their landlords. We're changing that.
Why we exist
“In Hong Kong, a tenant signs a 2-year lease worth HKD 500,000+ with almost no information about who they're signing with.”
Landlords require credit checks, employment letters, tax returns and references before considering a tenant. But a tenant has almost no equivalent way to research a property before committing to it — until now.
Horror stories are scattered across Facebook groups and expat forums, but they disappear into noise. There's no structured, searchable, persistent record of landlord behaviour. A landlord who mistreats ten tenants over five years faces zero cumulative accountability.
RentRadar fixes this.
What we do
Three things that make the difference
Government data
We pull official building data from the Buildings Department HKSAR — age, permits, statutory orders — and make it searchable for the first time in one place.
Verified reviews
Verified tenant reviews, tied to property addresses — not just landlord names. The building has a history even if the landlord hides behind an agent.
Landlord accountability
Good landlords earn recognition. Bad ones are held accountable. We give both sides of the market the transparency they deserve.
How we operate
What we stand for
Review integrity above everything
Landlords can respond to reviews and claim their profiles. They can never pay to remove or suppress a review. Our data is not for sale.
Verified, not anonymous
Every reviewer must verify their identity. Reviews are anonymous to the public but accountable to us. This keeps the platform credible and legally defensible.
Balanced, not adversarial
We're not an anti-landlord platform. We believe most landlords are decent people who want to do right by their tenants. RentRadar helps the good ones stand out.
Data transparency
Our government data comes directly from the Buildings Department HKSAR. We show our sources, update regularly, and welcome corrections when we get something wrong.
Who we are
A small team building something important
RentRadar is an early-stage platform built by a small team who believe tenants deserve better information. We're growing — if this mission resonates with you, we'd love to hear from you.
