Affiliate Disclosure

How we handle product links and recommendations

The Short Version

Some links on this site may earn us a commission if you make a purchase. This doesn't cost you anything extra and doesn't influence what we recommend.

How It Works

We participate in affiliate programs that allow us to earn referral fees when readers purchase products through our links. When you click an affiliate link and buy something, we may receive a small percentage of the sale.

You pay the same price whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer. The commission comes from the retailer, not from you.

Our Commitment

Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content. We recommend products and methods based on what we believe works, not on commission potential. Many of our recommendations don't include affiliate links at all.

We will never:

• Recommend a product because of its affiliate commission
• Alter our honest assessment to favor products with affiliate programs
• Fail to recommend better options because they lack affiliate programs
• Hide that a link is an affiliate link

How We Choose What to Recommend

Our recommendations are based on:

• Effectiveness for the intended purpose
• Value relative to cost
• Practicality for apartment living
• Reader feedback and reviews

Advertising

This site also displays advertisements through Google AdSense. These ads are served based on your browsing history and interests, not our editorial choices. We don't control which specific ads appear.

Why We Use Affiliate Links

Running a website involves costs: hosting, development, content creation, and ongoing maintenance. Affiliate commissions and advertising help offset these costs and allow us to keep our content free and accessible.
