After having gone through a few apartments hunts, Ishay Grinberg noticed a need to simplify the process of renting an apartment while reducing the cost of obtaining a lease; through the use of a very powerful and modern tool -- the internet. After examining different markets, Ishay decided on Boston, MA. Apartments for rent in Boston, MA usually come with a high price tag. Boston is a community where the renter generally has to pay the broker fee for securing a lease, which is often a full month's rent fee! That's in addition to first, last and security deposits that are often required. Could that fee be spared? Rental Beast thinks so.
Rental Beast was established to provide people with a more stress-free, streamlined, comprehensive service for those who are hunting for apartments in Boston or any city in Massachusetts. Rental Beast accomplishes the goal of finding an apartment with the least amount of time and money possible.
Rental Beast is operated by President and CEO Ishay Grinberg. Rental Beast opened its virtual doors in May 2003 with offices in Downtown-Boston. In the years between 2003 and early 2009 the business was known as Grand Central Apartments. In early 2009 we "Unleashed the Beast" as part of an expansion plan to other U.S. rental markets.
Currently, Rental Beast operates in Davis Square, Somerville, MA.
Unlike any other web site or service in today's rental market, Rental Beast opened in 2003 with a limited ability to e-commerce and with most of its new members signing up in person. Since then, Rental Beast has focused its time and money into perfecting its database and services. Today Rental Beast is an unparalleled resource for apartment renters, We list 100's of management companies and 10,000's of private owners and developed technology to monetize and keep the information validated and up to date.
Our goal is to make the process of renting an apartment Easier, Faster and Cheaper!
