Searching an Address or Landlord

LandlordEye is built around one search box that resolves either a specific rental address or the owner behind it — which one you start with matters less than what you get once you're in.

Search by address

If you're looking at one unit — a lease you're about to sign, a listing you're considering — search that address directly to see what's on file for that specific property: open code violations, rental license status, and eviction filings.

Search by owner or company

Don't have an address, or want to check who you'd actually be renting from? Searching the landlord's name — or the LLC or holding company listed as the recorded owner — surfaces every property connected to that same owner, not just one address.

Why searching by owner matters more than it sounds

A single address search only tells you about one property. Philadelphia landlords frequently hold multiple units under one name — or under several related LLCs — so searching the owner is what actually reveals the full portfolio a prospective renter is dealing with. See Reading an Owner Profile for how that full picture is organized once you open it.

Frequently asked questions

Can I search a landlord I only know by an LLC name?

Yes — if that LLC is the recorded owner in Philadelphia's public property and licensing records, searching its name resolves the same way a personal name would.

What's the difference between searching an address vs. an owner?

An address search gets you straight to what's on file for that specific unit. An owner search shows every property tied to that same person or company at once — useful when you want the fuller picture before you commit.

Is this legal to search and publish from?

Yes — code violations, rental licensing, and eviction filings are all public record in Philadelphia, the same underlying data LandlordEye connects and makes searchable.
