Cyber Rentals
The Internet has profoundly changed the way real-estate rental transactions are executed, mostly for the better. Besides putting significant amounts of rental information into the hands of potential tenants and allowing virtual tours of available rental properties, the Internet allows prospective renters and landlords to submit rental applications and negotiate contracts online. Properly executed, an Internet real-estate rental application may save time and money for the potential tenant and landlord.
