This week on the Beats & Balance Podcast, host Tinora Locke-Terrefe speaks with LP (@sirpenelope), founder and managing director of Houstory (@HoustoryApp), a platform built to bring transparency, trust, and equity to the rental market.
LP’s story began in New York City, where a decade-long career in human resources with the City of New York and Columbia University gave her deep insight into how people navigate systems—and how much those systems often fail them.
After experiencing her own rental challenges in New York and helping others through similar struggles in Baltimore, LP founded Houstory, a tech-driven platform designed to empower renters with verified rental histories, honest reviews, and key insights into landlords, maintenance issues, and neighborhood realities.
At its heart, Houstory is about giving renters the tools to make confident, informed decisions—and ending the days of renting in the dark.
