Published, then answerable
An accepted rent report becomes public straight away. It is not held in a queue waiting for someone to approve it, because a rent map that takes days to update is not much use to the person asking today.
Being public immediately is not the same as being beyond question. Every figure keeps the report count beside it, anyone can flag a report that looks wrong, and a person can hide or remove one at any time. Comments written while signed out are treated differently and do wait for review, a number about a place and a remark about people carry different risks.
Limits on any one contributor
A signed-in account can share two rent reports in any 30-day window. That is deliberately close to how often a real tenant has something new to report, and it means no single account can push a society's figures around by volume.
Anonymous reporting stays open, and it is limited too: there is a cap on how many reports come from one device or one network in a short period. Rentnama also decides for itself which building a report belongs to and whether it came from a signed-in session. Neither can be claimed by the browser sending the report.
Flagging a figure
If a rent looks invented, duplicated or planted, use the report action on it. You do not need an account. One person can flag a given item once, so a single determined reporter cannot bury something by repetition.
When enough independent people flag the same item, it is hidden automatically and queued for a person to look at, rather than staying public while it waits. The exact thresholds stay private so they do not become instructions for working around them.
Where a person decides
Removing or restoring something is always a human decision. Automatic hiding only buys time; it never permanently deletes a report, and it is not treated as a verdict.
Moderation runs behind a separate sign-in gate limited to named people. Every hide and restore is recorded with who did it and when, so decisions can be reviewed later. Rentnama emails its moderators when the queue has been waiting, because the failure that actually hurts is a report nobody opens.
What Rentnama cannot verify
Rentnama does not see your lease, your bank statement or your landlord. It cannot prove that a reported rent is true, and it does not claim to. Anyone telling you a rent figure is verified against documents is describing a different product.
What Rentnama can do is refuse to hide the uncertainty. One report is labelled as one report and never dressed up as a market rate. A comparison is withheld when the evidence behind it is too thin. Where a figure could mislead, the honest answer is a smaller claim, not a more confident-looking one.
Why manipulation is hard to hide
The structure does most of the work. Because every figure shows how many reports it rests on, a society with two reports cannot quietly look like a society with twenty. A single planted number sits visibly next to its own sample size instead of disappearing into an average.
Reports are also tied to a confirmed building rather than to a name somebody typed, so inventing rents for a place that does not exist, or attaching them to the wrong society, is much harder than it looks. If something still seems wrong, flag it or write to hello@rentnama.in. A figure that survives because nobody questioned it is the one failure this system cannot catch on its own.
