How GuestResearcher.com reviews listings

GuestResearcher.com is an independent community resource, and listing review exists to keep it safe and useful — not to gatekeep. Here's what to expect, whether you're posting or browsing.

Why listings are reviewed

• To keep obvious scams, prohibited items, and unsafe content off the site.
• To nudge listings toward the details renters and buyers actually need.
• To keep housing language fair and welcoming.

What gets flagged

• No public phone/email or exact address in the listing text (contact stays private by default).
• Prices or dates that are missing or look too good to be true.
• Discriminatory housing language, prohibited items, or anything unsafe.
• Commercial posts (property managers, realtors, apartment complexes, rental businesses), which follow a separate path — see the free vs. commercial guide.

What to expect as a poster

• Personal community listings are typically quick to clear; commercial ones are held for review.
• If something needs changes, you'll see a reason and can edit and resubmit from "My listings."
• Honest, specific listings with real photos clear fastest.

What review is not

• It is not a guarantee. We don't verify ownership, lease legality, or identity unless a listing says otherwise.
• Always tour in person or by video and keep payments traceable — see the scam-avoidance guide.
