In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 C.F.R. Part 255), The Tenant File discloses the following:
This website may contain affiliate links -- meaning if you click a link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. This helps support the site and keeps the free content free.
Affiliate links will not be disguised. When a link is affiliate, it functions the same as any other link -- clicking it takes you directly to the product or service.
The Tenant File offers paid digital products, including the Eviction Dispute Kit. These are products we created and sell directly. There is no third-party sponsor or advertiser behind any of our products. All revenue from product sales goes directly to The Tenant File.
At this time, The Tenant File does not publish sponsored content or accept payment for editorial coverage. If this changes in the future, any sponsored posts or paid partnerships will be clearly labeled as such at the top of that content.
The free resources offered in exchange for joining our email list (such as the Renter's Survival Checklist) are genuine free downloads with no purchase required. Joining our list does not obligate you to buy anything. We may occasionally mention our own paid products in emails, but this will always be clearly identifiable as a product offer.
Any resources, tools, or services we link to or recommend are based on our own research and judgment. We cannot guarantee results from any product or service we mention, whether affiliated or not. Always do your own research before making any financial or legal decision.
If you have questions about our affiliate relationships, product offerings, or any content on this Site, please contact us at hello@thetenantfile.com.
