Welcome to the blog!
The RentConfident owners are usually busy creating reports for the renters of Chicago. However, as a new company with a strong interest in the open government movement, we are sure we'll have some great stories and discoveries to share with you.
We hope to be updating twice a week. Kay will be posting on Mondays and Jon on Fridays. Topics will include open data, safe rental practices and our journey as a company from startup to (hopefully) market leader.
Along the way we'll be investigating what it means to start a brand new industry. Apartment research is not a well-known field. In fact, most of the folks we talk to have never heard of the idea before, and insurance providers have no clear category in which to put us.
Research projects will pop up here on a regular basis - in fact, we've got two awesome pieces of research ready to go with lots of maps and charts for your analytic enjoyment.
Happy reading, and don't forget to share us with your friends!
- Kay & Jon
