Many people in the U.S. live in apartment complexes rather than owning their own home, and those who are community-minded see the place they share with dozens or even hundreds of other people as a small community in its own right.  This is a mindset shared by many who own and operate these shared spaces, organizing events or gatherings and offering a communal space for all to share.  It is not always easy to ensure communication with everyone in an apartment complex, and this is especially true the larger it is and the more people live there.  This is a problem a startup called ReTenant looks to fix, offering individual apartment complexes the ability to create their own mobile apps.  Typically, property owners or managers of apartment buildings rely on outdated communication methods like flyers or simple word of mouth.  ReTenant utilizes technology to ensure that communication among tenants as well as between tenants and property managers is swift, easy, and certain.

Apartment hunters have always had to be wary about the properties they visit when looking for a place to rent.  While somewhere may seem perfect on the surface, there are numerous cases of bad landlords and neighbors making life difficult for renters.  While once can evaluate the quality of a living space without much trouble, it’s not possible to judge a landlord or property management company after one or two meetings with them.  It’s also impossible to know if they people you live next to will respect your needs and preferences as a neighbor.  Cool person in technology Eric Wolfe is helping people avoid these problems with his company Swapt.  Swapt is a website where renters can review places to live in cities from across the United States.  In many ways, Wolfe’s service is essentially a Yelp!-style site for apartment buildings and rental properties.  Users can leave detailed reviews and rate the places that they have lived in order to help others make informed decisions about where they want to rent.  Anyone who experiences technical problems while going on this cool person’s site and trying to leave a review may require home tech support services.

Apartment hunting, especially in larger cities, is often one of the most frustrating and difficult aspects if moving somewhere new.  There are many directory sites for people to sift through when looking for places to live, but these sites are often less than helpful.  Apartment postings on most directories don’t disappear once someone rents a vacant space.  This issue creates situations where people end up calling countless buildings asking about apartments that aren’t even available.  Beyond that, most directories don’t offer full details on different apartment buildings.  Many places surprise apartment hunters with hidden move-in fees.  Other buildings don’t list what amenities are available to tenants in their advertisements.  The lack of clarity in these listings cost people immense amounts of time in their searches. Apartment seekers track down and contact many places that are dead ends.  Cool product Apartable wants to be a force for positive change in these situations and help renters get complete, accurate, and real-time information about apartment availability.  Apartable’s site provides dynamic apartment listings that update in real-time when a place becomes unavailable.  Anyone who has issues trying to work the Apartable website to access these dynamic listings should immediately contact a professional for remote computer support.
