College students and other renters in Madison might better be able to discriminate between good landlords and slumlords if an idea from Ald. Eli Judge, 8th District, gains momentum.
Judge said he hopes to create the Web site ratemypropertyowner.com, where tenants would be able to gather information on prospective property owners from the people who would know best: other tenants. Judge is a University of Wisconsin-Madison senior whose district encompasses mostly dorms and student-rented apartments.
