big global challenges through innovation and entrepreneurship at this

What:     Rent Monkey Off-Campus Housing Website
Contact:  http://rentmonkey.mit.edu

Rent Monkey is an 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.
