Some of you won't care, but figured I'd put it here anyway. Just another "luxury" building trying to tip the scales in its favor.

Friend told me this morning that they were trying to get tenants to leave good reviews. At the same time, they'll still jack up the rent yearly by over $100

This is pretty standard for businesses. Having good reviews and scores on things like Google, Yelp, Trust Pilot, etc. is pivotal to their success as a business

Perhaps, but the practices described corrupt the flow of free information that is necessary for an efficient market, and they are also against Google and FTC policy.

Yea. Every restaurant seems to have one of those cards to leave good Yelp reviews, Amazon orders, etc etc.

Even mobile apps ask if you’ll give them a positive review.

That's it? Shit, maybe we should move there. We're steeling for a $500 increase after signing a 2 year lease right before the vaccine came out.

If you leave 700 positive reviews you get a free Studio Apartment 😈

I would leave multiple reviews until it cancelled out my rent.

I lived in LUXURY buildings in other states and they all did the same thing.

Although often it's even more of a scam --- instead of "$XXX for good review", it can be "your chance to win $XXX for a good review" which means only one resident gets the money, and certainly someone the management likes.

70 Greene just has bad reviews removed.

Hit them back with a tier system..."pay x amount and get a 3 star review where I put some truths...x aamiubt for 4 star and half truths....x amount 5 star and I lie and describe my dream apartment"
