Investment Instruments Launches Rent Satisfaction Survey

NEWTON, MA--(Marketwire - March 10, 2008) - As banking systems become more technologically advanced, paying rent remains in the dark ages. While large rent management companies offer their tenants the ability to pay with e-check, credit cards or paper checks, that kind of option is not open to the vast majority of people who rent from mom-and-pop landlords. But how would the tenants pay given the choice? How would they communicate with their landlords? Would electronic payments make a landlord's life easier?

Investment Instruments Corporation (IIC) wants your help in understanding what makes a strong rental relationship. As the only company devoted to increasing transparency in the real estate rental market, IIC today launched a survey on its Rentometer and Rentomatic sites to gain feedback from tenants and landlords nationwide and gauge their satisfaction with payments, communications and other aspects of their business dealings.

The survey can be found online at www.rentometer.com and www.rentomatic.com. Anyone taking the survey is automatically entered into a drawing for a $500 American Express gift card.
