Geek Roundup

Tonight at the
Providence Geek Dinner AS220 was treated to an update on the progress of the mostly Rhode Island based Rentomatic (formerly iiProperty).
Rentomatic.com is a website for both landlords and tenants which allows for online rent payment, maintenance requests and other landlord communication for tenants, and accounting, property and tenant tracking, etc. for landlords.
The new site rolled out just last week and they have grand plans for the future including connecting landlords with service providers and allowing tenants to communicate with each other. The company also runs rentometer.com which is a service that attempts to bring more transparency to the world of housing rentals, letting you view average rents for neighborhoods and even particular streets. Enter your address and see whether you are getting a great deal for your place or whether you should be demanding free laundry from your landlord for the dough you dole out every month.
