Rental Lane's primary goal is to connect tenants to rental properties, with ease. The vision behind our goal: a website containing EVERY rental listing in Bloomington, Normal, Peoria and the surrounding communities of central Illinois. Whether you are a residential or student tenant looking for that perfect house or apartment, a commercial tenant looking for the ideal business location, or you are simply in need of additional storage space... ...Rental Lane is your #1 source of information!
Feature-packed and Easy to Use:
Available rentals are organized into categories by “type”
Apartments, Houses, Condos/Townhomes, Mobile Homes, Student Living, Senior Living, Commercial and Storage
Each category can be browsed at will or searched by specific criteria
City, Price Range, Number of Bedrooms, Pet Policies, Smoking Preference, etc.
Search results are sorted by price. Simplicity is key!
However, you can re-order the list by whatever criteria you choose.
"Neighborhood Search" feature allows searching by geographic area
(Bloomington and Normal only)
NEW "Short-Term" Search Option!
Listings can now be searched based on whether or not "short-term" leasing is allowed.
"Student" property search feature
Student properties are in a unique category, allowing them to be searched exclusively.
NEW "Public Postings" feature
Our NEWEST feature allows the general public to post and view listings for "Roommates Wanted" and "Sublease Opportunities". Feel free to browse through the Public Postings!
Landlord/Agent List containing contact information for local landlords and agents
Do you want to view listings from a particular landlord or agent? From the "Landlord/Agt. List", click the landlord's or agent's name to view the profile. There, you will find contact information and links to properties listed by that landlord or agent.
Polls & Surveys
Make your opinion count! Rental Lane wants to know what YOU think. What matters to you? Vote in our polls to let local landlords hear your voice. Occasionally, we will also post anonymous surveys to determine how you use the features of the Rental Lane website. If you see a poll or survey that you would like to participate in, please do so! No personal information is required. You will find a link to our latest polls in the navigation bar on the left side of this page. When surveys are available, there will also be links provided for them. If you have a topic that you would like to see in our public polls, let us know!
*** Bonus Feature: Save searches and get hot-list updates ***
Favorite listings can be saved for easy information retrieval later. New listings that meet your search criteria can also be e-mailed directly to you, the minute that they hit the Rental Lane database.
For example: If you are searching for a 4-bedroom unit that is located in the Unit-5 School District, simply save your search criteria and elect to receive an e-mail notification. As soon as a landlord enters a listing that met your special search criteria, you will instantly receive an e-mail alerting you to the the new listing. There will also be a link in the e-mail that will take you directly to the listing. It's kind of like having your very own electronic Real Estate Agent, working for you 24-hours a day, seven days a week, without the fee! (see Terms of Use) It just doesn't get any easier than this!
Rental Lane, allows ANYONE to search for rental properties ANONYMOUSLY. Users have the opportunity (not the obligation) to create a "member account" to save their favorite listings for easy information retrieval later. Users with a "member account" can also save search criteria and elect to have new listings that meet the criteria e-mailed to them, if they wish. It is our promise that Rental Lane WILL NOT sell your personal information (including e-mail addresses) to anyone else, for any reason! Additionally, Rental Lane will not send you any e-mail that you have not chosen to receive (with the exception of system maintenance notices for scheduled down-time or problem resolution issues). Your privacy is VERY important to us! Thank you for trusting Rental Lane.
