Ist apartmentratings.com sicher?

This is a place to search for apartments. You can limit your searches with a variety of criteria. It's nice reading the user reviews, but I think Apartment Ratings needs a way to make sure that the reviews are legit and not attempts to advertise by landlords and their office workers. The site layout is okay if a bit clunky and buggy. There have been times where I have had to logout and login because the site quit recognizing my search queries after a while. That being said this is probably the best site of its kind on the Web right now.

Unfortunately if you sign up here, you must accept a certain amount of non-transactional email that they do not let you opt out of at all. The only way to get them to quit sending it is to delete your account and all posts. :/ It probably isn't spam -- technically. But it is bad practice, pushy, and *really* annoying.
