Editorial standards
Findigs makes decisions on rental applications. That is the entire business, so we spend our days inside the questions renters and operators actually ask: what a screening report really contains, how application fraud works, what the law requires when someone gets denied.
Getting these topics wrong has consequences. A misread of fair housing law is not a typo problem. It can cost a renter a home or put an operator in court. So we hold published words to the same standard we hold decisions: a named person writes them and stands behind them.
This page explains how we work: who writes our content, and what happens when we get something wrong. The short version: we'd rather publish less and stand behind all of it.
Who writes our content
Where a piece has a person standing behind it, the byline names that person, with their real name and their real role; everything else runs under the Findigs Team byline, which means the company stands behind it.
The named byline tells you who wrote the piece and what they do. Our authors write in their own domain of expertise and stand behind their work by name.
Corrections
We make mistakes. Laws change, sources go stale, and sometimes we simply get it wrong.
If you spot an error, contact us through the form on our contact page. Include the article link and the claim you think is wrong. A source helps, but it isn't required.
Here is what happens next. We check the claim against its source. If we got it wrong, we correct the article and add a correction note stating what changed and when. Typos and formatting fixes happen quietly. Factual corrections always get the note.
Not legal advice
Everything we publish is informational. It is not legal advice, and reading it does not create an attorney-client relationship with anyone.
Housing law varies by state and city, and it changes. An article that is accurate in general can still be wrong for your building, your lease, or your application. Operators should run policy decisions past their own counsel. Renters dealing with a specific denial, deposit, or screening dispute should talk to a lawyer who can look at their actual situation.
