Will Technology Make Renting More Pleasant?

Techcrunch has a short article on how tech start-ups are starting to change the rental process:

Cozy, a startup aiming to make the rental process easier for landlords and tenants, is announcing that it has made its first acquisition — landlord advice site Landlordology.

The tools currently offered by Cozy include collecting rent online, managing payments from multiple roommates, and screening tenants. Landlordology, meanwhile, features a number of guides and advice-focused articles for landlords and property owners, “especially those with 50 rental units or less.” (Sample post: “10 Best Practices to Prevent Tenant Lawsuits.”) Its traffic has supposedly been increasing 20 to 30 percent every month since it launched in January 2012.
