Questions, answered
Are these really free?
Yes. Every tool, guide and download here is free and ungated. No email, no sign-up.
Do you use any of this against tenants unfairly?
No. Applicants give explicit consent before anything is analysed, and our analysis judges affordability, references and history, never any of the ten Equal Status Acts protected grounds.
What does RightTenantry itself cost?
Signing up is free, and so are your first three analyses. After that it's a one-off price per vacancy, shown at checkout.
How up to date is this?
Every figure here is checked against the official RTB and CSO sources, and reviewed when the rules change.
One tenant. Six years. No second guesses.
When you're ready to choose, RightTenantry analyses every applicant and ranks your shortlist, so the decision rests on evidence, not a gut feeling.
