RENTALS.COM LAUNCHES ANDROID APPLICATION

Searching Nationwide for a Rental House or Property is Now Easier Than Ever

Rentals.com, a leading resource for single-units, apartments and houses for rent nationwide, today announced that it launched a free Android application available in Android Market (search for "Rentals" ). Now users can search Rentals.com listings from devices running Google Android.

"We provide consumers with immediate access to relevant, localized information as they search for a place to live, and utilizing mobile technology makes the renting process that much easier," said Jamie Clymer, president of Rentals.com. "Our mobile apps not only give users another medium for gathering information on single-family houses, apartments and condos for rent, but also provide them with the ability to search for listings and contact property owners or managers while on-the-go."

The Android application allows users to:

• Search for a property rental by entering in city and state or zipcode.
• Leverage GPS (Global Positioning System) to search nearby.
• Use advance search to narrow results by radius, sort criteria, property types, beds, bath, price and amenities.
• Save recent searches.
• View complete property information, including full-color photos and map.
• E-mail properties to friends or family.
• Add property notes and personal ratings.
• Rank and save favorites.

"Mobile devices were once a luxury, but have evolved into a necessity for most consumers," said David Quinlan, general manager, Emerging Technologies, Rentals.com. "Leveraging mobile applications to connect consumers and advertisers is a powerful marketing tool. Some of our national advertising partners are embracing this medium with great results. Further, our learnings from our other mobile applications have taught us not only about utilizing mobile technology to enhance the renting process, but we've also been able to take feedback from users and make adjustments to better suit consumer needs."

A demo of the Rentals Android application is available.
