This is a community for property owners and managers who want advice on running rentals. The public description lists tenant relations, lease agreements, maintenance, and rent collection as the core topics. It is a working trade room, not a debate hall. Landlords and property managers post here, and tenants are welcome too when they want insight from the landlord side of things. The rules make clear the sub is about items that directly affect landlords, and it pushes philosophical or ethical questions about the profession to other subs.
The rule that decides everything here is “Do not solicit, advertise, or post asking for help with your new app, new website, new tool, etc.” It bans self-promotion and any request for help with your product. “No AI Generated Content or SPAM” matters just as much, because it bans AI written or AI rewritten posts, referral links, and duplicate posts. “Follow the Tag requirements for Posting” and “Improper post format and tagging” require a role and location in brackets at the start of your title, like [Landlord US-PA]. “No Political Debate or Agenda Posts” keeps the room on practical landlording, and “No 'philosophical' or 'ethical' questions about the profession.” sends ethics debates elsewhere. “Be civil in your posts and comments.” and “Do not use profanity in post titles.” round out the basics.
A good post here is a genuine practical question or a real experience from your own work as a landlord or property manager. Start your title with your role and location in brackets, for example [Landlord US-PA], and use brackets rather than parentheses. Write it yourself in plain language, because AI written or AI rewritten content is not allowed. Ask about something concrete like maintenance, lease terms, tenant relations, or rent collection, and share enough detail that people can give useful answers. If you are a founder, the honest play is to participate as a person, not as a brand. Answer questions in your area of expertise and let people discover what you do on their own, because asking for help with your app, website, or tool is banned here.
The fastest way to get removed is to promote. Do not pitch your product, ask the sub to test your app, run a poll for your tool, or drop a referral link, because soliciting and advertising are banned. Do not write your post with AI tools or let AI rewrite your question, since AI generated content is not permitted and posts with clear indicators of it get removed. Do not skip the tag format, because your title must start with your role and location in brackets and posts that lack it get removed. Do not repost the same question or situation within a week. Do not post anyone's personal information, do not troll, do not use profanity in titles, and do not start political or agenda driven arguments, which can get you removed or banned without warning.

Yes, the description says tenants are welcome to gain insights from a landlord's perspective, and the rules allow questions from tenants, but you must tag your post with the right role and location brackets.
No. The rules ban soliciting, advertising, and asking for help with a new app, website, or tool, and they ban referral links and self-promotion.
No. The rules say content created using AI tools is not permitted, including rewritten questions, fabricated scenarios, and AI-produced advice.
Start the title with your role and location in brackets, like [Landlord US-PA], and keep the body focused on a practical property management question.
Only when it is directly relevant to landlording. The rules allow discussion of laws and housing policy in that narrow case but remove political or agenda-driven posts.
