How it works
Three stepsVerify
Verify your email, once. It keeps the record real.
Say what happened
Deposit, repairs, entry notice, and the rest. Facts and amounts, not stars.
On the record
A person reads every entry before it posts. No fake reviews, no scraped listings.
Every Berkeley address, on file
Public recordsEvery addressed building in Berkeley is already in the directory. Search any address or landlord and it resolves, even the ones with nothing on file yet. The shelf is built. The entries fill in one lease at a time.
Directory: City of Berkeley public records
Every dot is an address on file. Drag the city, tap a dot, open the record.
