Affiliate Disclosure
How We Make Money
Smart Home for Renters is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
We also participate in other affiliate programs including SwitchBot, SimpliSafe, Wyze, TP-Link, Philips Hue, and others.
What This Means for You
When you click an affiliate link on our site and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission. This does not affect the price you pay. The price is the same whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer.
Our Editorial Independence
Our recommendations are based on:
- Hands-on testing in real apartments
- Research and comparison of specs, prices, and reviews
- Feedback from real renters
We do NOT recommend products based on commission rates. Our rankings are determined by product quality, renter-friendliness, and value — not by how much we earn.
Products with higher commissions are not ranked higher. Products with lower commissions are not ranked lower. We recommend what we believe is best for renters.
How to Identify Affiliate Links
Affiliate links on our site are marked with text like "Check price on Amazon →" or similar. You can also identify them by hovering over the link — the URL will contain our affiliate tag.
Our Commitment
We are committed to:
- Honest, unbiased reviews
- Transparent disclosure of all affiliate relationships
- Recommending only products we've tested or thoroughly researched
- Updating our content regularly to reflect current prices and availability
