Rule summary
- Do not advocate violence or suicide.: Do not advocate or celebrate violence, suicide, self-harm, or harm toward another person or group. The rule states that violations bring an immediate permanent ban.
- No “philosophical” or “ethical” questions about the profession.: Keep discussion on matters that directly affect landlords. Tenant questions are welcome, but philosophical or ethical debates about the profession belong elsewhere.
- Do not take part in trolling.: Do not troll in this or another subreddit. Moderators decide what content constitutes trolling of the community.
- Do not post a any personal information.: Do not publish anyone's personal information.
- Do not use profanity in post titles.: Keep profanity out of post titles because titles appear prominently in many settings.
- Do not solicit, advertise, or post asking for help with your new app, new website, new tool, etc.: Do not solicit or advertise a business, or ask the community for help, information, polling, or feedback for a new app, website, tool, or similar project.
- Be civil in your posts and comments.: Avoid name-calling, rudeness, and other uncivil conduct even when a discussion becomes heated.
- Follow the Tag requirements for Posting: Start the title with a role and location in brackets because landlord-and-tenant law is local. The rule gives formats such as [Landlord US-PA] and requires brackets rather than parentheses.
- No AI Generated Content or Spam: Do not post actual or suspected AI-generated content, spam, self-promotion, referral links, disguised site promotion, or a duplicate of the same question or situation within one week.
- Improper post format and tagging: Use a permitted role and location in square brackets at the start of the title. The listed roles are Landlord, Tenant, Property Manager, Agent, Owner, and General.
- No Political Debate or Agenda Posts: Do not use the community for political debate or ideological provocation. Discussion of laws and housing policy is allowed when directly relevant to landlording.
Works well
- Source-backed fit: conversations, ideas, questions, and information sharing by landlords, plus tenant questions seeking a landlord's perspective.
- Formal rule allowance: laws and housing policy may be discussed when they are directly relevant to landlording rather than framed as a political debate.
- Formal format requirement: begin the title with an approved role and location in square brackets, such as [Landlord US-PA].
- Sidebar guidance: ask questions, answer other members, share useful landlord information, and participate in the comments.

What r/Landlord Is For
The public description centers conversations, ideas, questions, and information sharing by landlords. Tenants are welcome when they are looking for answers from a landlord's perspective.
The old public sidebar encourages members to share useful landlord information, ask and answer questions, comment, and respect other participants. Formal rules narrow that scope by excluding philosophical debates about the profession, commercial research, political-agenda posts, and several kinds of harmful or disruptive content.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
r/Landlord publishes 11 formal rules. They cover violence and self-harm, philosophical debates, trolling, personal information, profanity in titles, solicitation, civility, required role-and-location tags, AI-generated content and spam, improper title formatting, and political debate.
Two rules address post formatting. Titles must begin with an approved role and location in square brackets, such as [Landlord US-PA]. The rules explicitly require brackets rather than parentheses and list Landlord, Tenant, Property Manager, Agent, Owner, and General as accepted roles.
What To Post
Source-backed fits and requirements include:
- A landlord question or experience with enough property and location context to support useful answers.
- A tenant question that genuinely seeks a landlord's perspective.
- Discussion of a law or housing policy when it is directly relevant to landlording rather than ideological debate.
- A correctly tagged title followed by a civil, specific account of the issue.
The sidebar discusses limited participation by bloggers, but the newer formal rules prohibit solicitation, advertising, and requests for app, website, or tool feedback. Do not treat the older sidebar language as an exception to the formal rule.
What To Avoid
Do not advocate or celebrate violence, suicide, self-harm, or harm toward another person or group. Avoid trolling, personal information, profanity in titles, name-calling, rudeness, and other uncivil behavior.
Do not advertise, solicit, poll, or recruit feedback for an app, website, tool, business, or similar project. Do not submit AI-generated content, spam, referral links, disguised promotion, or a duplicate of the same issue within one week. Keep politics limited to laws or policy directly relevant to landlording.
Rankhog Notes
r/PropertyManagement covers a broader professional audience that includes managers, renters, vendors, and landlords. r/HomeInspections focuses on inspection findings and questions for inspectors. r/RealEstateTechnology is the relevant comparison for technology discussions, but it publishes its own participation and promotion rules.
