Public register.
Not review site.

Seven principles that protect both tenants and the integrity of the record.

Facts > vibes

Records are typed events with dates and evidence — not free-form reviews. Defensible by design.

Evidence is the gate

No evidence, no publication. Tribunal orders, leases, condition reports, ledgers, photos, emails, receipts.

Right of reply, free

Every record is sent to the agency before publication. Their reply publishes alongside.

Defamation law, by design

We rely on the established defences in the Defamation Act 2005: truth, honest opinion, qualified privilege, public interest (s.29A).

Tenant identity is sacred

Submitters are never named. Agencies never see who filed. Tenancy dates shown as recency bands. Audit-logged.

No blacklisting, ever

No tenant search. Agency dashboards limited to records about themselves. Misuse = banning + civil action.

Privacy, the APP way

APP-compliant. Encrypted evidence. Transparent retention. Australian data residency where available.

THE SCORING FORMULA
