Our Mission
The British & Irish rental market is broken by design. Tenants often have no idea how their landlord or agency is going to treat them until they've signed the tenancy.
Every year, millions of renters across Britain & Ireland face deposit theft, disrepair, harassment, and illegal evictions. The power imbalance between tenants and landlords mean that speaking out may lead to retaliation, exploitation, or eviction. Meanwhile, rogue landlords and greedy agencies operate with impunity, moving from property to property, tenant to tenant, prioritising money over people and letting people live in disrepair.
We can work together to end this now.
Flatm8 exists to give tenants the power they've always deserved: the power of information, the power of community, and the power of accountability. We've built a platform where renters can anonymously share their experiences. Sharing the good, the bad, and the downright criminal, without fear of retaliation.
Our platform allows you to:
- Read honest reviews of properties before you sign a lease, so you know exactly what you're getting into
- Expose bad landlords and agencies who break the law, ignore repairs, or steal deposits
- Track rent increases and share the true cost of living to fight unfair pricing
- See Union Warnings from partnered Housing Unions and Tenants Unions identifying properties owned by known rogue landlords
We believe that transparency is the greatest weapon against abuse, and that collective action is the best way to create lasting change against selfish economic interests. Good landlords can expect awesome reviews and a great reputation, bad landlords can expect some accountability.
Loved by tenants, hated by landlords.
That's not just our slogan, it's our promise. If we're doing our job right, we'll start to make the bad actors uncomfortable. We'll shine a light on the practices they'd rather keep hidden. And we'll build the tools we need to protect ourselves and look after one another.
The rental market won't fix itself. But together, armed with information and united in purpose, we can force it to change.
