RateMyStudentRental promotes the exchange of information, connecting students with reputable rental housing and landlords with students to encourage an atmosphere of continual improvement in the student rental housing market

The Founders

Hey, we're Blake, Kristen, and Steve. We go to school at Kettering University (formerly General Motors Institute) in Flint, MI. As you've probably guessed, Flint is not the best place in the world to live. But we think we've hit on a pretty good solution and we're ready to share it with all students everywhere.

So what are we about? We’re about not getting screwed (in a rental sense). As a few college kids in Michigan, we got fed up with sleazy landlords, bad rental experiences, and poor information. Worst of all, at our tiny school, there wasn’t even one location to look for rentals other than a posting board, but a black and white photo copy and a stunning description like “BATHROOMS!” just isn’t enough for us these days. After all, your living space will not only define you at college but contribute to your success, so you need good information. And in the name of all that is malty, we will provide you with the best damn rental information we can.

Anyway, don't be shy. If you have any questions or comments for us, drop us a line with our Feedback form.

The System

RateMyStudentRental is a smarter way for students to find a place to live, for landlords to manage their tenant relationships and communication from acquisition to retention, and for schools to communicate with, and mediate communication between, students and landlords. RMSR makes it easy for students to make an informed student rental decision by taking advantage of the reviews and ratings of previous and current tenants.

Landlords use the platform to save money attracting tenants and increasing satisfaction and retention – while RateMyStudentRental streamlines communication, payment, maintenance, and feedback with tenants. Landlords can also easily survey similar properties and adjust rent, as needed, to stay competitive. Unlike conventional online classified ads, or landlord websites, RateMyStudentRental empowers students with information that previously was available only by word-of-mouth. Landlords benefit with access to tools that help them save money.

Meanwhile, schools and universities use RateMyStudentRental to mediate student-rental relations, and to maintain the school’s reputation for high-quality student-life. RateMyStudentRental enables schools to manage off-campus students and landlords as never before, opening the communication channel with an independently verified and reliable platform.
