I’m happy to announce our newly released map-based apartment search<\/a>!\u00a0 Location-based searching for apartments has been a personal favorite feature of mine from the very beginning of RentHop’s days. We have always believed that Craigslist<\/a> listings simply lack enough structured data for useful and rich mechanisms. While Craigslist’s\u00a0loose-form posting makes life slightly simpler for the landlord, it also opens the door for the deluge of fake and obfuscated listings we see today.<\/p>\n Even though RentHop has begun allowing small landlords to post their listings, we have removed all the usual incentives for unscrupulous posts: any listing without a real address will not show properly on the search. We also sort listings based on the completeness of data, which includes analyzing photos, amenities enumerated, and full contact information. Most importantly, no one visiting RentHop plans to pay a broker fee<\/a>!<\/p>\n
