Get $500 if you rent out your apartment through Jumppost.com.
I can't really tell if it will work or not. Basically the premise is - let's get rid of brokers!
While I like that idea, I just don't know if I want to become my own broker. I tried out this site last year when I wanted to move into a better apartment and needed to break my lease. I ended up posting my apartment and then had to play broker by scheduling appointments to show the place to prospective tenants. Plus sell the place to them.
- I hated scheduling the meetings. Plus - how do you know if it's a psycho coming over? I always kept my door open and told my neighbors
- I had to kind of lie to them and say the apartment was great, when it really wasn't. After all, the whole point was I wanted out.
- I don't even think my scumbag landlord would have gone for the deal anyhow!
Sometimes you don't want to do the dirty work. And that's when a broker comes in handy. Plus for people looking for an apartment, honestly the site just doesn't have enough inventory for it to really be useful.
Also I have to remind myself -landlords and brokers are very intertwined. When the middleman is in bed with the boss, it's kind of hard to get rid of them.
There's an easy way to do the "dirty work". Ask friends and friends of friends. There is always a demand for apartments.

Having a broker to do all the work can save you time and effort (of not lying to potential renters). At the end of the day, some brokers would still tell lies about the apartment just to get an apartment rented out. The renter just have to be a very good inquisitor to get all the facts.
