Tell your story

If a landlord has done to you what was done in Story No. 1, you already know how the official route feels: police who call it a civil matter, a tribunal that may say you are not covered, forms and phone queues while your money and your belongings sit on the wrong side of a changed lock. The law can be bureaucratic. Your story does not have to be. A documented account, published with its evidence, warns every student who comes after you, names the address and the landlord to avoid, and creates a record that cannot be quietly filed away. That is power handed back to students — and it is what this site is for.

What you need to publish

A detailed account — what happened, in order, with dates. Who said what, and when.

The evidence — your rental agreement, messages and emails, payment confirmations, photos or video. The stronger the documents, the stronger the story. Claims without documents are not published.

Your choice on anonymity — publish under your name, or anonymously like Story No. 1. Either way, we verify the documents before anything goes live.

How it works

1Send your account and your evidence (see below).
2We check the story against the documents, and come back to you with any gaps.
3Your story is drafted in the same format as Story No. 1 — timeline, money trail, documents, evidence — and you approve it before it is published.
4The landlord is offered a right of reply, published unedited alongside your story. Fair, documented, and on the record.

Post your story — one simple form

Fill in what you can. When you press the button, this page prepares your submission as an email in your own mail app — you check it, attach your evidence files, and press send. Nothing is stored on this page.

Publish me as — your choice

Anonymous (like Story No. 1) Under my name

Your name (only asked so we can reply to you — left out of the published story if you chose anonymous) Your email (so we can reach you about your story)

Property address (street and city — this is what warns other students) Landlord’s name

When did you live there? (move-in and, if it ended, move-out dates) Money involved (rent, deposit, anything paid or owed)

What happened? Tell it in order, with dates. Who said what, and when. Take your time — detail is what makes a story publishable.

Privacy: this form sends nothing by itself and saves nothing. It only prepares an email on your device. Submissions go to infosysscholar@gmail.com.
