Rentometer.com - How Does Your Rent Compare?

Wondering if you pay too much for rent? Have a property you want to put on the market, but not sure how much to charge per month? Check out Rentometer. It's a simple site that allows you to enter the address you're curious about, how many bedrooms are in the place, how many apartments are in the building, and how much you are currently paying to find out where that number falls in the range of rental prices for the surrounding area. With the Google maps mashup, you can check out other properties on the market and what their prices are based on their location and apartment type. They also offer their API so that you can integrate their gadget into your site. You can either have it so other people can check rent prices, or you can have your own info published for potential renters to view. Rentometer is a basic tool that could potentially help to save you from being taken advantage of by potential landlords.
