Our Story
RU Renting was born out of a simple frustration: finding off-campus housing at Rutgers was way harder than it needed to be. Scattered listings, unverified landlords, and no centralized platform meant students were left to navigate a confusing market on their own.
As Rutgers students ourselves, we experienced these challenges firsthand. We knew there had to be a better way. So we built it.
RU Renting is the housing platform we wished existed when we started our search—a trusted marketplace designed specifically for Rutgers students, by Rutgers students.
