The current edition. It will be replaced next month, and this URL will keep showing this month's figures. How these are built

Lowest rated by tenants

Management companies with the lowest average rating from tenants who lived in their buildings.

Who is included: At least 5 reviews per company, and at least 10 companies qualifying, before this list is published at all. Source: Reviews written on this site, as recorded in August 2026.

Not yet. 0 of 10 companies have the 5 reviews this list requires. A ranking built from fewer would say more about who happened to write than about who manages badly, so it stays unpublished until it is worth reading.
