*Rent Monkey:  A New Off-Campus Housing Website*
http://rentmonkey.mit.edu

Rent Monkey is a new off-campus housing website that tracks rental
information provided by MIT students for MIT students. Rent Monkey
catalogs listings and sublets as well as past rents and descriptions
of residences. It enables current off-campus students to find roommates
and those on the market to contact landlords directly instead of
incurring large realtor fees. Rent Monkey is brought to you by the
Graduate Student Council and the Off-Campus Housing Office.
