Our idea for RentChicago.com began in 2005 as an answer to the hundreds of fee-based rental Websites on the Internet.
We wanted to develop a site that would give sellers an opportunity to advertise their rentals FOR FREE because we saw how expensive it was to go the route of traditional classifieds (both online and off).
So, out of frustration, we decided to put our extensive Web experience to use and create RentChicago.com (all of us have been in the industry since the internet as we know it "opened” in 1995). Our goal has always been to provide sellers and renters with simple tools that allow for the exchange of goods using the Web as a vehicle.
And… ensuring that rentals could be posted to the site for free.
Yes, the Website is FREE for you to post ads for things and property that you want to rent to people in the area that are expressly looking for them.
You will find myriad of Chicago rentals including apartments, condos, homes, and townhouses plus non-real estate items such as lawn mowers, trucks, cameras, and more (really, anything that you want to rent or lend is possible!).
We think you’ll like RentChicago.com for a few reasons:
- Of course, #1 is… IT’S FREE
- You’re information (if you post) is not sold, rented, leant, shared (or any other similar verb) with ANY other entity or site
- You will not be spammed with tons of daily listings · You will find hundreds of real listings by real landlords, property managers, and private sellers
- You can save your favorite listings · You can search Chicago rentals by area or neighborhood such as Lincoln Park Apartments, Andersonville, and others.
- We think it’s worth repeating: IT’S FREE (yes, we are not foolish; we will make money with sponsors and advertisers in case you were wondering)
So get started. Take a look around the site and find the perfect Chicago rental property or go to the Post page and add your own listing for Chicago rentals that others may be interested in.
