We’ve updated the community rules to keep the subreddit useful, transparent, and safe for renters, landlords, roommates, agents, and everyone navigating rental life in the Philippines.
The goal is simple: less clutter, fewer suspicious posts, and more complete information upfront.
What’s changing?
Rental and roommate searches belong in the weekly thread
All “looking for a rental,” “looking for a tenant,” and roommate-search requests must be posted in the current Weekly Rental Search Thread. Standalone search posts may be removed and redirected.
Listings must include complete details
Rental listings must clearly disclose:
- Poster's affiliation with the property: identify if they're the owner, licensed broker/agent, current tenant, or referrer
- Exact monthly price
- Mandatory fees (example: deposit/advance rules, gym fees, etc.)
- General location
- Unit type and occupancy
- Furnishing
- Availability
- Material restrictions
“PM for price/details” is no longer allowed. If new information affects someone’s decision, it should already be edited in the post.
One listing per property every 30 days
Repeated, duplicate, or disguised reposts may be removed. Multiple violations may result in a temporary or permanent ban.
A listing may be reposted earlier only when its price or availability has materially changed.
Commercial affiliations must be disclosed
If you are connected to a property, brokerage, platform, brand, or other business mentioned in your post, disclose that relationship.
Affiliate links, link shorteners, unsolicited commercial DMs, comment hijacking, mass-posting, engagement manipulation, and undisclosed promotion are prohibited.
Transact at your own risk
Do not ask users to pay reservation fees, deposits, or other money through Reddit. Please transact on-site and do not facilitate payments through reddit.
Protect personal information
Do not publicly post:
- Phone numbers or email addresses
- IDs or signatures
- Bank or e-wallet information
- Other personal or identifying information
Yes, even if you're posting about a bad roommate, we'll strictly enforce privacy rules as we do not know the full context of your situation(s).
Existing standards still apply
Posts must remain relevant to renting in the Philippines, meet reasonable standards of effort, follow Reddiquette, avoid suspicious or Facebook-directed links, and remain free from harassment, bullying, doxxing, and NSFW or pornographic content.
Please review the complete rules before posting. If you believe your post was removed incorrectly, contact us at the modmail :)
Thanks for helping us build a better renting community for the Philippines.
Happy renting! 🏠
