Housing Transparency Network is building the case that renters deserve the same information landlords already have on them — starting city by city, powered by the people who've actually lived there.

Renters move into the unknown constantly — a new landlord, a new city, a new lease — with almost none of the information the landlord already has on them. Housing Transparency Network exists to close that gap, everywhere renting happens.
The mission, the standards, and the organization behind every tool we build. This is the "why" — the commitment that no landlord can ever pay to influence what renters see.
Our flagship product — a free, searchable database of renter reports, official records cross-checks, and tenant resources. Nationwide search, expanding official integrations city by city.
Try it now →Every new city means a new official records integration and local outreach — not a rebuild. The tool grows; the mission stays exactly the same.
We'd rather do one city right than ten cities halfway. Here's exactly where things stand.
| Location | Renter reports & search | Official records integration | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Los Angeles, CA | Live | Live (LA Housing Dept. lookup) | Live |
| Nationwide | Live (search works for any address or landlord) | Generic public-records search fallback | Live |
| Additional CA & U.S. cities | Live | Planned, added as we expand | Planned |
Tell us where you're renting and we'll factor it directly into which city gets an official-records integration next.
Housing Transparency Network doesn't take money from landlords or property managers, and never will. Growth — new cities, new records integrations, new resources — is funded by renters and allies who believe this should exist.
