About Rental Lane...

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!

Additional Goals:

• Saving Local Residents Time and Money
  
  • Why spend hours looking through a newspaper, and calling around to various landlords to get the rest of the information that was not included, when you can search multiple local rental listings and get ALLof the information instantly?  Imagine all the hours of saved time...  and, of course, time is money!
  
  • Why should you sacrifice your hard-earned money by taking days off from work to search for the perfect house or apartment?  Rental Lane allows you see photos of local rental listings to help you locate that special place to call "home" without even leaving your current home or office (a fifteen minute break at work can go a long way here).
  
  • Additionally, you can e-mail local landlords to get additional details and clear-up questions regardless of your work schedule or the landlord's office hours.
  
  • Finally, if you sign-up for a free member account (you will NOT be spammed), you can set your own search criteria, and elect to have Rental Lane send you a message instantly, when a local landlord enters a qualified listing into the database.
  
  
• Protection of Affordable Rental Housing Rates
  
  • By helping to reduce the outrageous advertising costs that local landlords are faced with, Rental Lane is contributing to the protection and stability of affordable rental housing rates in the area.
  
  • By helping to reduce the turn-over time of rental properties, Rental Lane saves landlords additional money - a savings that they can pass on to their tenants.
  
  • By partnering with and supporting local groups standing to oppose the imminent fee increase of Bloomington's Rental Housing Inspection Program, Rental Lane is helping to avoid additional costs for landlords - costs that would likely result in significant rental rate increases for local residents.



• Eco-friendly Marketing Practices
  
  • Area rental listings are presented in electronic format, reducing the need for wasted newspapers.
  
  • Minimal paper-form advertising.  Most marketing efforts are done electronically (radio, television, MySpace, Facebook, other internet advertising, etc.), or through campus and work-site promotions, or via word-of-mouth.  If you like the site, and you're pleased with what we're doing, TELL YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILY and CO-WORKERS!!!   :-)

Rental Lane also has many other goals - far too many to list here.  As our listing-data increases, and our public popularity continues to grow, we will gain even greater power to help make a difference within the community.  Thank you for supporting the Rental Lane website.  And, remember, YOU are our greatest advertisement!  Please, tell your friends, family and co-workers about the site.  Together, we can make life easier...   ...for everyone!
