Rentari IQ rent estimates are informational market references, not pricing instructions. They are generated from your own property data, real comparable market listings, and — where local listing data is limited — AI-estimated market references (clearly labelled as such), never from other landlords' confidential rents, to support your own independent pricing decisions. You set your rents; Rentari does not. Every estimate is an advisory data point, and you remain solely responsible for the rent you charge. Estimates are not appraisals or legal advice and do not account for fair-housing, rent-control, or local pricing laws.
