6) 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.
