Apartment and renting questions split into lifestyle tips versus tenant-rights discussion. Neither community is a place to advertise units or realtor services.
Where to ask
Best for: Decor, space-saving, neighbors and other day-to-day apartment living tips.
Why it fits: Its public description: “Share tips, experiences, and advice on apartment living—decor, space-saving, and more for renters and owners alike!”
Rules to know before posting:
- Stay on apartment living — not homeowner living.
- No self-promotion or spam: do not advertise listings, realtor services or commercial content.
- Avoid vague low-effort questions such as “How do I get a cheap apartment?” — search first.
- Be respectful; personal attacks and harassment are removed.

Best for: Tenant situations with landlords, deposits, repairs and renter rights questions.
Why it fits: Its public description: “This is a subreddit for tenants to help each other with landlords situations such as legal responsibilities and your rights as a tenant.”
Rules to know before posting:
- Include your state or province abbreviation in the title (for example “(CA)” for California).
- This is a renters-first community — not a place for landlord marketing.
- No rental ad posts.
- Do not shut down advice-seekers with “just buy property” replies.
- Keep discussion respectful and helpful.

Before you post
- Put your location in the title for landlord or lease questions — tenant law varies by state and country.
- For “how should I decorate this studio?” photos, Apartmentliving fits better than Renters.
- Peer replies are not a substitute for a tenants’ union, legal-aid clinic or housing attorney when stakes are high.
