Email Address and Spam
By asking people for email addresses when they post reviews your opening them up to a lot of spam. I don't trust fly by night online companies with my email address. if you want serious reviews you need to take down the email requirement.

Only residents who have nothing good to say put things up here. When your website, that allows unchecked slander starts to hurt businesses there should be a way they can removed themselves from your site. Someone will end suing for dammages if complexes can't remove themselves.

verify those who leave comments
I understand free speech but do you understand when you cannot police who is placing comments that you are providing a platform for anyone to lie, whether or not they are actually residents or disgruntled friends and/or employees or even a resident who was evicted because they didn't pay their rent.
