Rent Bumper does not provide tax, legal, investment, or accounting advice. Our blog posts, spreadsheets, downloads, articles, calculators, newsletters, and all other prepared materials are for informational purposes only. They are not intended to provide, and should not be relied on for, tax, legal, investment, or accounting advice. Every investor’s situation is different.
Your use of the Rent Bumper website, calculators, spreadsheets, and other resources constitutes acceptance of our terms of service and represents your agreement to consult your own tax, legal, investment, and accounting advisors before pursuing transactions or making any tax, legal, or accounting decisions.
1. We’re Landlords, Not Your Lawyers or CPAs
The content on Rent Bumper—including all guides, reviews, calculators, articles, discussions, and other content—is for educational and informational purposes only. We are DIY landlords sharing personal experience and research. We are not attorneys. We are not accountants. We are not licensed financial advisors. Before you sign a lease, file a tax return, or make a real estate investment, you should always consult with qualified professionals who are familiar with your specific situation.
2. Use at Your Own Risk
While we strive for a very high level of accuracy, laws change daily, regulations wax and wane, interest rates fluctuate, and tenants come and go. At the end of the day, we are humans. By using this site, you agree that you are using all information, templates, reviews, calculators and recommendations at your own risk. Rent Bumper is not liable for any financial losses, legal disputes, property impacts, or damages of any other kind that may occur in relation to actions you may (or may not) take as a result of your use of information provided by the Rent Bumper service.
3. Our Templates are Starting Points
Any lease templates or checklists provided on Rent Bumper are intended as drafts to help you get started. Using these documents does not create an attorney-client relationship. Housing laws are complex and regulations vary significantly by state and county. Please have a local professional review any legal document before you use it in the wild.
4. Affiliate & Recommendation Disclosure
We only recommend products and services with which we have some degree of personal experience. A recommendation from Rent Bumper does not necessarily mean a particular product or service is right for you, nor does it imply that you will definitely have a positive experience. Your mileage will vary and while hammers are useful tools, they can do plenty of damage in the wrong hands. The same goes for nearly all products and services we cover at Rent Bumper. In many cases, we will earn a commission if you purchase through our links. You also may save money by using these same links, as we regularly negotiate discounts on behalf of the Rent Bumper audience. Either way, you will never pay more by using our affiliate links, but you are of course free to avoid them if you so choose.
Finally, we don’t intentionally recommend products or services that we wouldn’t use ourselves. That said, we cover a lot of ground across Rent Bumper and we do occasionally make mistakes. If you have a negative experience with something we’ve recommended, we want to hear about it at: lordy(at)rentbumper(dot)com.
