Rental Advocate Offers New Lower Rates - Expanded Coverage Area

PR Log (Press Release) – Oct 26, 2009 – Rental Advocate has been a national leader in providing rental solutions for both renters and property owners since 2001.  Their entirely web-based service has simplified the leasing process for thousands by constantly employing new technologies and innovative ideas.  The Rental Advocate has recently come under the new management of Signum Advisory Group, LLC  This has resulted in many new benefits for landlords, property owners and renters alike.

Signum Advisory Group, LLC has recently assumed operational control of the Rental Advocate service and their website located at http://www.rentaladvocate.com  As part of that management acquisition an entirely new set of features, prices and options have been implemented.  

Rental Advocate combines the power of a nationwide property locator and referral service with the convenience of a one-step online application.  They allow individuals to locate properties nationwide through their expansive database which meet their selective criteria and apply for multiple properties with one form and only one application fee.

Rental Advocate offers property owners a complete host of services to allow them to list their properties and have their applicants professionally screened prior to the listing being provided to potential applicants.  Their professional screening services include background checks, warrant/criminal history, credit, past rental history, current rental verification and more.  None of these services carry any additional fees for the property owner.

What makes the Rental Advocate service unique is that they can guarantee renters pre-qualification on any rental property based on the property owners selection criteria.  In effect, they act as a go-between ensuring that both the renter and property owner save time, money and the hassles associated on both ends.

http://www.rentaladvocate.com  has been expanded since it's acquisition by Signum Advisory Group, LLC  

They now offer service in 130 cities across 42 states with continued plans for expansion.  Rental Advocate has also completely revamped it's website submission forms to offer greater options and more flexibility for both the property owner and the individual renter.

Property owners now have an even greater ability to set their own rental application approval criteria.  Signum has also removed the monthly maintenance fee and property owners now only pay a single one-time setup fee of less than $10.00  Property submissions are less than $5 each and run until the property is leased.  In addition, if a renter defaults on his lease, they now re-list the property at no charge.

Renters have been given a whole host of new selection criteria.  Rental Advocate has added numerous additional data to their property reports including everything from the distance to the closest bus-stop to the name of the housing addition.  Reports now include floor-plans, additional photos and the entire application processing time has been cut by an average of 134%.  

At the same time Signum Advisory Group, LLC has expanded the Rental Advocate's service offerings, they have reduced the application fee by $10 for renters, offer additional city searches for only a few extra dollars and now have an added bonus feature.  If a renter doesn't find the property he's looking for in the first search, they will run up to 3 additional searches for 90 days at no additional cost to the applicant.

The Rental Advocate maintains it's commitment to providing service to those applicants with past credit challenges, prior rental issues and even criminal convictions.  Part of that commitment includes seeking out special rate terms, flexible deposit options and move-in specials an incentives.
