Rental Roost, Inc.

Rental Roost, Inc. RentalRoost is an online marketplace that allows renters, in the San Francisco Bay Area, to search for properties according to their lifestyles.

Rental Roost was founded on the mission of making house-hunting fun and easy. The idea was born after the co-founders experienced trouble finding the perfect home and neighborhood after several out-­of-­state relocations. When they found a place that was dog­-friendly, it was not the most walkable neighborhood. When they found a fantastic neighborhood with many things within walking distance, it w

asn’t pet-­friendly. Finding a family-friendly neighborhood proved to be tough as well. So, it got them thinking, “shouldn’t house-­hunting be much easier than this if everyone has to go through it at least once in their lifetime?”. And, voila, Rental Roost was born!

Do you feel that you have been wrongfully evicted, and are you wondering if without being given a reason for the eviction, the landlord did something illegal? The best thing to do is to research state law and local ordinances as to what the law is in regard to eviction in your town/city. In California getting evicted without being given a reason can be legal if the lease was month-to-month. Every state has their own laws and regulations so make sure you know as a tenant what your rights are before you rent. However, if you feel you are being evicted based on discrimination be sure to contact a Fair Housing Agency about your suspicions!
