This link will take visitors to a special section of RentUpdate.com, designed to be a resource connecting students with property managers around the SCSU campus. It will allow property managers to actively post available listings and for students to use dynamic search filters to find an apartment.

The website will be designed to centralize local housing information and make it more accessible to the approximately 15,000 students that live off-campus.

I reached out to the Chair of Campus Affairs Tom Martin, who is spearheading the project for the SGA, to see if Rent Update might be of service in any way.  After a quick trip to St Cloud, I had the opportunity to sit down for a short meeting with Tom.  We discussed his plans for the project and the challenges that they faced in launching a Rental Listing Service.  Challenges that we have faced as well, while building RentUpdate.com.

Our meeting was productive for both sides as I learned a great deal from Tom’s experiences, and hope I could provide a sliver of wisdom and insight from my own.  I offered Tom and the SGA of St Cloud State University, Rent Update’s assistance in anyway to help them overcome the challenges they face.

We wish them the best, and hope to be of service.
