Apartment & Rental Scraper for Rent.com - Prices & Property Leads

Disclaimer: This Actor is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Rent.com or any of its subsidiaries. All trademarks mentioned are the property of their respective owners. "Rent.com" is referenced only to describe the publicly available website this Actor collects data from.

Extract rental listings from Rent.com for any US city, ZIP code or neighborhood - apartments, houses, condos and townhouses - with rent by bedroom count, every floor plan, beds/baths/sqft, availability and move-in dates, move-in deals, photos and 3D tours, demand signals, the leasing-office phone and the property-management company - or, for agent-listed homes, the listing agent's name, e-mail and brokerage.

Turn on full property details for unit-level availability (unit number, rent, size, move-in date, deposit), pet policies and fees, walk/transit/bike scores, nearby schools and rent estimates of nearby homes. Turn on rental market data for average rents by bedroom with the year-over-year change, Rent.com's monthly rent history and the rents of nearby markets. Monitoring mode returns only listings that are new or re-priced since the last run.

No login, no API key, no browser.

Why this scraper for Rent.com data?

Most rental scrapers stop at a name and a starting price. This Actor reads the full listing data Rent.com publishes and turns each property into a priced, contactable record.

What you get

Data	When it is there
Property name, Rent.com URL, full address, ZIP, latitude/longitude	every listing
Starting rent, rent range and rent by bedroom count	every listing
Beds / baths / square feet, floor plans with per-plan rents	every listing
Availability text, available now flag, units available	every listing
Photos (URLs + total count), 3D tour links	every listing (3D tours where the property has one)
Leasing-office phone	nearly every listing
Management company (for agent-listed homes, the brokerage)	most apartment communities and agent-listed homes
Listing agent name + e-mail	agent-listed homes and condos
Office hours	most apartment communities
Move-in deals / specials, Rent.com price drops	properties running one
Demand label ("High Demand"), recent lead count, page views	properties Rent.com tracks demand for
Full property page (details on): description, total units, unit-level floor plans, amenities by category, pet policies, schools with ratings, walk/transit/bike scores, neighborhoods, nearby places, rent estimates of nearby homes	every property page; pet policies, fees and parking where the property publishes them (agent-listed homes rarely state a pet policy)
Rental market rows (market on): average studio/1/2/3-bed rent, year-over-year change, listing counts, Rent.com's monthly rent history and rent distribution, nearby cities/neighborhoods/ZIPs with their rents	one row per searched place

A blank field means Rent.com does not publish that item for that property. Rent.com does not publish websites or e-mail addresses for apartment communities: their lead is the leasing phone and the management company.

Use cases

• Rental and property-management lead generation - every row is a contactable property: the leasing phone, the management company or brokerage, office hours and, for agent-listed homes, the agent's e-mail. Build prospect lists for proptech, insurance, internet, moving, furnishing, staffing and services vendors that sell to landlords and managers.
• Rent comps and pricing - rent by bedroom count, per-plan and per-unit rents, square feet, deals and price drops; nearby-home rent estimates on property pages; average rents by bedroom per city with the year-over-year change.
• Market research - Rent.com's average-rent history and rent distribution per city, listing counts, demand signals and which management companies run which buildings.
• Listings data for apps - normalized listings with photos, availability, amenities, pet policies and geo for a rental search product or an investment model.
• Monitoring - schedule daily runs in monitoring mode to catch new listings and price drops in a market.

How to use

1. Sign up for Apify - the free plan is enough to try this Actor.
2. Add one or more locations - City, ST (Austin, TX, St. Louis, Missouri) or a ZIP code (78701) - and pick the property types. For a neighborhood, paste its Rent.com page into Start URLs.
3. Set any filters (rent range, bedrooms, bathrooms, pet-friendly, available now) and the sort order.
4. Click Start and watch the rows arrive. Export as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or RSS, or read them through the Apify API.

Input

{
    "locations": ["Austin, TX", "Miami, FL", "78701"],
    "propertyTypes": ["apartments"],
    "maxResults": 200,
    "maxPrice": 2500,
    "minBeds": 1,
    "petFriendlyOnly": true,
    "sort": "priceLow",
    "includeListingDetails": false,
    "includeMarketData": true
}

• locations - City, ST / City, State or a 5-digit ZIP code, one per entry. A city Rent.com spells differently is matched on its own city list ("St. Louis" is Saint Louis); a place Rent.com does not know is named on the run card with suggestions, and nothing is billed for it.
• propertyTypes (default apartments) - apartments, houses, condos, townhomes.
• startUrls / urlsFromFile - Rent.com search pages (city, ZIP or neighborhood, with any filters you set on Rent.com) or property pages; a list can be pasted or linked as a file or Google Sheet.
• maxResults (default 200) - rows for the whole run, shared fairly between your searches. maxResultsPerSearch (default 120) - cap per place and property type.
• minPrice / maxPrice / minBeds / maxBeds / petFriendlyOnly - passed to Rent.com's own filters, then re-checked on every row. minBaths / availableNowOnly - checked on every row.
• sort - best (Rent.com's best match), recentlyUpdated, priceLow, priceHigh.
• includeNearbyListings (default off) - for small towns Rent.com pads the results with listings from nearby towns; they are left out unless you turn this on (then they are marked outsideSearchArea: true).
• includeListingDetails (default off) - reads each property's own page (one extra page per listing, billed as Property details; the Pricing tab names it "Listing details fetched" until 29 October 2026).
• includeMarketData (default off) - adds one market row per searched place.
• monitorMode - return only new and re-priced listings (see below); monitorStoreName names its memory.
• proxyConfiguration - leave the default: the Actor reads Rent.com directly where it can and switches to residential US proxies whenever Rent.com refuses a request.

With includeListingDetails on, a row also carries description, totalUnits, unit-level floorPlans[].units (unit number, rent, size, move-in date, deposit), amenityCategories, petPolicies + petsAllowed/dogsAllowed/catsAllowed, applicationFee/adminFee/brokerFee, parking, walkScore/transitScore/bikeScore, schools (with ratings), neighborhoods, nearbyPlaceCounts and nearbyRentEstimates (rent estimates of nearby homes), plus text versions for tables.

A market row (type: "market") carries marketLocation, totalListings, totalUnitsAvailable, avgStudioRent…avgThreeBedroomRent, yoyOneBedroomRentPct etc., rentHistory (Rent.com's monthly average rent by bedroom count), rentDistribution, and nearbyCities / nearbyNeighborhoods / nearbyZips with their average rents.

The Output tab has four views: Listings, Leads, Market and Property details. Market rows sit at the top of the dataset; each view shows only the rows that have its columns.

Monitoring mode

Turn on monitorMode and add an Apify Schedule:

• The first run returns the current listings (monitorReason: "initial") and remembers every listing of each search with its starting rent.
• Every later run reads the whole search again and returns only listings that are new to it ("new") or whose starting rent changed ("priceDrop" / "priceChange", with previousPrice). Unchanged listings are not returned or billed (from 29 October 2026 each run also pays the small start charge described below).
• When more listings changed than your limit allows, the rest are returned by the next run - nothing is skipped and nothing is billed twice.

Use a different monitorStoreName for each market you track.

Good to know

• Fast and light. The Actor reads Rent.com's own page data (no browser) and switches to residential US proxies whenever Rent.com refuses a request, so a few hundred listings take seconds.
• Several places in one run share the row limit fairly, so one big city never crowds out the others. The run card lists the rows per search.
• Sponsored cards Rent.com injects from other searches (an apartment complex in a townhouse search) are skipped, and listings from nearby towns are left out unless you turn on includeNearbyListings.
• Every run ends with a plain-English status message saying what happened - including why nothing was found and which input to change. A run summary with per-search counts is saved to the key-value store as RUN_SUMMARY.
• Phone + management company are the lead. Rent.com does not publish property websites or e-mail addresses for apartment communities; agent-listed homes and condos carry the listing agent's e-mail.

How much does it cost to scrape Rent.com?

This Actor uses Apify's pay-per-event pricing: you pay for the results it delivers, with no monthly rental. The events it can charge are:

• Rental listing - one rental property row.
• Property details - the property's own page read for that row; only when "Include full property details" is on.
• Market summary - one rental-market row per searched place; only when "Include rental market data" is on.

From 29 October 2026 each run also charges once, at start:

• Actor Start - one small charge when the run starts, counted per GB of run memory (once for a run at the default 512 MB). It covers each run's fixed cost, so the per-listing prices can stay low.

Until 29 October 2026 the Pricing tab shows these events under their older names (Listing scraped, Listing details fetched, Market data scraped), next to the retired Contacts enriched, which is never charged (Rent.com no longer links property websites, so there is nothing to crawl) and leaves the Pricing tab on that date.

The current price of each event is shown on the Pricing tab of this page. Set a maximum total charge on the run if you want a hard cap on spend, and use the input limits to control how much the Actor fetches. A place Rent.com does not know, a URL that is not a Rent.com page, or filters that match nothing end the run with an explanation and no results billed.

Automate & schedule

Run this Actor on autopilot and pull results into your own stack:

• Apify API - start runs, fetch datasets, and manage schedules over REST.
• apify-client for JavaScript and apify-client for Python - official SDKs.
• Schedules - run it daily or weekly with monitorMode to capture new listings and price drops over time.
• Webhooks - trigger downstream actions (CRM import, Slack alert, email sequence) the moment a run finishes.

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'MY_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('scrapesage/rent-com-scraper').call({
    locations: ['Austin, TX'],
    propertyTypes: ['apartments'],
    maxResults: 200,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(`Got ${items.length} listings`);

Integrate with any app

Connect the dataset to thousands of apps - no code required:

• Make - multi-step automation scenarios.
• Zapier - push new listing leads straight into your CRM.
• Slack - get notified when a monitored market adds listings or drops prices.
• Google Drive / Sheets - auto-export every run to a spreadsheet.
• Airbyte - pipe results into your data warehouse.
• GitHub - trigger runs from commits or releases.

Use with AI assistants (MCP)

The output is clean, LLM-ready JSON. Call this Actor from Claude, ChatGPT, or any agent framework through the Apify MCP server - ask your assistant to "find every 2-bed apartment under $2,000 in Austin with the leasing phone and management company" and let it run the scraper for you.

Agent-ready: autonomous payments (x402 & Skyfire)

This actor is agent-ready: AI agents can discover it, run it, and pay for it autonomously, with no Apify account and no human in the loop. It uses pay-per-event pricing and limited permissions, so it qualifies for Apify's agentic-payment standards:

• x402: an open, HTTP-native payment protocol. Agents pay per run in USDC on the Base network directly through the Apify MCP server, with no account and no API key.
• Skyfire: agent-to-service payments for fully autonomous AI-agent workflows.

FAQ

How do I scrape a specific city, ZIP code or neighborhood? Add the city as City, ST or the ZIP code to locations. For a neighborhood, open it on Rent.com and paste the page URL into startUrls.

Does it need a Rent.com account or an API key? No. It reads the public listing data Rent.com shows to every visitor - no login, no key, no browser.

Can I filter by price, bedrooms or pets? Yes - minPrice, maxPrice, minBeds, maxBeds and petFriendlyOnly use Rent.com's own filters (so every page is full of matches), and every row is re-checked before it is saved. minBaths and availableNowOnly are checked on every row.

Can I get e-mail addresses? Agent-listed homes and condos carry the listing agent's e-mail (agentEmail). Rent.com does not publish e-mail addresses or websites for apartment communities; their lead is the leasing phone plus the management company.

How do I monitor a market for new listings or price drops? Turn on monitorMode and create a Schedule - see Monitoring mode above.

How is this Actor billed? Pay-per-event: you pay for the results it delivers, with no monthly rental. From 29 October 2026 each run also has one small start charge, counted per GB of run memory. The per-event prices are shown on the Pricing tab.

Which export formats are available? JSON, CSV, Excel (XLSX), XML, HTML or RSS from the Apify Console or the API.

Data & lawful use

This Actor reads business and professional listings that the professionals themselves published to be found: names, roles, firms, ratings and the contact details shown on the public listing. Because those details belong to identifiable people, treat the output as personal data. If you are in the EU or UK you are the data controller for what you do with it: have a lawful basis (usually legitimate interest for B2B prospecting or market research), keep any outreach relevant to the professional's line of work, honour opt-outs and deletion requests, and do not use the output for spam.

Under Apify's Standard Actor Contract, which governs your use of this Actor, you are the controller of any personal data in your input and output and scrapesage acts only as your processor: that data is processed solely to run your job, written only to your own Apify storage, never used for any other purpose and never shared onward. If you need help with a data-subject request that involves this Actor's output, open an issue on the Issues tab.
