Today’s price is only half the story.

Every morning we check the advertised rent on the landlords’ own websites, for 187 complexes so far. We record the price and keep it, so each complex builds a price history over time.

History before we started checking daily comes from the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine, which saved copies of these same landlord pages. We read about one saved copy per week, so older history is weekly rather than daily. It goes back to Jul 22, 2019 for some complexes.

• Starting at is the lowest price the landlord advertises, usually for the smallest unit on a specific lease length.
• Specials like “weeks free” are tracked separately. Advertised rent usually doesn’t include them, so what you pay can be lower.
• Total vs base rent: where a landlord shows both, total rent includes required monthly fees.
• Some landlords show prices per floor plan; others show one starting price for the whole complex. Each page shows what’s available.

For Phoenix and Mesa complexes we show city code-enforcement complaints (things like broken AC, pests, or leaks reported to the city) and, for Phoenix, eviction filings from Maricopa County Justice Courts data. They’re matched to each complex’s main address, so counts are a floor. A complaint isn’t a confirmed violation. We never collect tenant names or contact details.

These are advertised prices, not signed leases. Prices change daily and depend on the unit, lease length and move-in date. Always confirm with the property. We’re not affiliated with any landlord, and we don’t sell pricing data to landlords.
