Our Name In 2010, founders Jon Pastor and Rick Ferris decided to form a new company called “Rent Jungle.” The name of the company reflected the confusing environment for finding rental housing, and the mission of Rent Jungle – to help apartment hunters and managers navigate through the online “jungle” of information and bring them together. Our Story We started Rent Jungle after looking for apartments online ourselves, and frankly getting a bit frustrated: No listing site has more than 50% of the actual available apartments listed online Finding an apartment or rental house can require visiting ten or more web sites The sites with the most listings -- you know, like the one that's just a list of links that repeat every day -- have limited search functionality and lack of quality control. We also talked to some friends who own apartments. They had similar frustrations trying to fill their vacancies: Managers are often forced to buy expensive advertising bundles Existing listing sites force apartment hunters to stay on their site -- not allowing apartment owners to direct traffic to their own sites Posting on some sites requires daily, time-consuming, manual submissions for each listing. So we asked: if you can go to kayak.com to find travel deals from everywhere, and indeed.com to find jobs from everywhere, why can't you do the same for apartments and rental houses? Then we asked: What if you could search for features by just typing them in a search box, like you find things on the web using a search engine?
