Tenants pressured to write positive reviews and i have no way of contacting this site to take them down. Flagging doesn't work
management gave the super evaluation papers for tenants to fill out. The super pressures tenants to fill out ASAP. In the paper says "please provide input we can share online". The super even pressured me to fill out before any work was done. When tenants fill out the papers the management then posts on this site writing whatever positive experience tenants wrote in eval paper, like replaced leaking fridge or replaced toilet seat, rating themselves 5 stars. HOW CAN AN OLD SLUM APARTMENT COMPLEX BE GETTING NEGATIVE 1-3 STARS AND THEN SUDDENLY A FLOOD OF 5 STARS ONE AFTER ANOTHER???!!! Bring back tenant responses so tenants can at least respond to these fake reviews if you are not going to do anything about it! This is just stupid and makes the site look rigged!
We agree.
We have taken a strong stance against incentivized reviews and a practice called “Review Gating” as you described. Here is our public position:
https://ohmyapt.apartmentratings.com/apartmentratings-prohibits-review-gating.html
We police the reviews submitted and will delete reviews that came from known review gating sources. We also watch out for new tricks.
Please use the “Report” link next to a review to report it for our abuse team to review. We remove reviews we can identify as management submissions.
