We work hard to get things right, but when we get something wrong we want to know — and we want you to be able to see that we fixed it. This page explains how to report an error and what happens next.
How to report an error
Email us at corrections@rentingexplained.com with as much of the following as possible:
- The URL of the article in question;
- The specific statement that is wrong;
- What is correct, with a source if you have one (a government site, statute, or court rule is ideal); and
- Your contact information if you’re open to follow-up (optional).
What we correct
We treat the following as correctable errors:
- Factual errors — incorrect statistics, dates, dollar amounts, or other verifiable facts.
- Legal inaccuracies — misstatements of statutes, deadlines, tenant rights, or landlord obligations.
- Calculation errors — incorrect math in examples.
- Misleading statements — claims that are technically true but misleading in context.
- Outdated information — content that was accurate when written but has since changed.
- Broken links — links to sources that no longer resolve.
We generally do not treat the following as errors:
- Reasonable differences of opinion or editorial judgment;
- Forward-looking predictions or commentary;
- Minor typos that don’t affect meaning; and
- Stylistic or formatting preferences.
Our process
- Review. We review every request, usually within a few business days, and verify the claim against credible sources — prioritizing primary sources like statutes and government guidance.
- Prioritize. If an error is confirmed, we prioritize by severity. Legal or financial misinformation is corrected fastest; minor issues are batched.
- Fix and disclose. We update the article, refresh the “updated” date, and, for significant corrections, add a dated correction note at the top of the article explaining what changed.
A correction note looks roughly like this:
Correction (date): An earlier version of this article stated [X]. The correct information is [Y], per [source]. We have updated the article.
Transparency
We do not silently delete or hide corrections. Significant corrections to material claims are disclosed on the affected article, and the record of the change stays visible.
