RentPad focuses on tenants’ length of stay, whether it be short term for a business trip or long term for living. Unlike the others with a wide reach, RentPad’s operations only cover Metro Manila, Davao, and Cebu. Search filters are also limited to location, price range, property type, number of bedrooms, terms, and furnishing.

They also have a journal page, loan calculator, and Here Maps integrated into the site. What’s unique is that they show you a price index based on historical data based on their website. Although the data is based on March 2019, it’s still an excellent tool for you to negotiate with.

All of the sites listed have partnered up with land developers and real estate agents, although there are several independent sellers and tenants, as well. While not all search filters are available on every platform, most information is printed on each listing; therefore, users need to read them thoroughly. We hope that this article was able to help you out. Renting a place is a mid to long term commitment, so you need to be sure you get the one that suits you best.
