Problem statement:

There is a need for a platform for users to search for houses and apartments to rent with ease, and for the real estate owners and managers to advertise their apartments/houses and interact with the users.

Solutions:

This is a platform for users to search for apartments to rent nearby based on their search location. Real estate is best browsed on a map, the platform would be a mashup between the Google Maps API and the Craigslist API, where the places available for rent would be rendered over the map based on user search location. Users can search for and like apartments. Ex-tenants can also rate or review these places to help out current users.
