Literature Survey

[1] Marus Baruti[1], Characteristics of Rental Housing: In this

segment, we explore the rich tapestry of rental housing. We scrutinize
the myriad types and forms of rental properties, considering their
structural features, amenities, and spatial distribution. From cozy
studio apartments to sprawling suburban houses, each dwelling
contributes to the intricate fabric of the rental market. Demand and
Supply Dynamics: Our analysis extends beyond mere numbers. We
dissect the beating heart of rental demand, examining the factors that
drive individuals and families toward renting. Economic shifts,
demographic trends, and lifestyle choices all play their part.

Simultaneously, we peer into the supply side, where

landlords—ranging from mom-and-pop owners to corporate
giants—shape the availability and diversity of rental options. The ebb
and flow of this dynamic dance determine the pulse of the rental
housing market. Global Perspective: The chapter discusses rental
housing from a global viewpoint, highlighting its significance and
diversity across different countries. In-depth Analysis: It provides a
thorough analysis of rental housing, including the dynamics of
demand and supply, characteristics of tenants, and types of landlords.
Policy Options: Offers conclusions and policy recommendations for
improving rental housing schemes, especially for low-income
households1.

A.Requirements gathering and analysis The first step in the
development of In-House was to gather requirements and analyze the
needs of landlord and tenants. This involved conducting surveys and
interviews to understand their specific needs and pain points. System
design and architecture Based on the requirements analysis, the
system design and architecture were developed. This involved
creating a detailed plan for the system’s functionalities and features.
Implementation and testing The next step was to implement the
system and test it thoroughly to ensure it met the requirements and
objectives. D. Evaluation and assessment of the system Finally, the
system was evaluated and assessed to determine its effectiveness and
to identify areas for improvement.

Literature Survey

Yiqing Zhao, Zonglin Cai [3] Methodological Approach: Multiple

linear regression and logarithmic transformation are employed to
handle non-linear relationships and improve model accuracy. Factor
Impact: The number of bathrooms and size of the property are
identified as having the largest impact on rent prices, while floor level
and furnishing status have the least influence23. City-Specific
Insights: Mumbai shows the highest correlation between the factors
and rent prices, suggesting location significantly affects rent
variability. Bangalore, on the other hand, has the lowest correlation4
Rental Market Analysis: The study presents a linear regression model
to predict house rent prices in six Indian cities post-pandemic,
considering factors like size, furnishing, and number of rooms1.

Literature Survey

Methodology: Utilizes linear regression and logarithmic

transformation to analyze rent data, aiming to provide a reliable
reference for consumers and landlords. Findings: Indicates that the
number of bathrooms and size significantly impact rent prices, while
furnishing status and floor level have minimal influence2.
Improvement Suggestions: Recommends refining the model by
removing outliers and considering advanced modeling methods or
intra-city area variations.

Riya Garg[4] The Property Rental Management system is developed

in Flutter on the Flask API. We used Python for backend
development, Dart language in Flutter. For data storage purpose we
have used Postgres SQL. We have also used pub dev repository for
flutter and dart to use some pre-defined packages. For testing
purpose we have used Postman API tester. Registered users can
upload properties for rent. This system has been designed and
developed to attempt to overcome all the stated problems. Since it is
an online system, there is accurate information on the property, and
you can view all material information from anywhere.

Literature Survey
Joy Paul[5]The document outlines the development of a house renting
website, starting with a literature review to assess existing systems
and their shortcomings. A plan was then formulated to guide the
website’s creation. The waterfall software development life cycle
model was employed, characterized by a linear sequence of phases1.
These phases encompassed requirements analysis, system design,
coding, testing, and maintenance, ensuring a structured approach to
the development Ease of Access: Users can find suitable
accommodation without physically searching, saving time and
reducing stress. User-Friendly Interface The system is designed for
efficient use by both tenants and landlords. The website facilitates
online management of rental properties, streamlining the renting
process.

Challenges/Issues Observed

Choosing a backend technology for our rental housing website was

one of the big challenges we faced. How the site runs, how well it
grows, how secure it is, and how everything works together.We need
this backend to handle tons of user data—think lots. It has to mix
well with other tools, like front end frameworks, databases, and even
some third-party services we might want to use.
Our next big challenge? It was connecting the frontend with the
backend of our rental housing website. This part really matters!
Why? Because it makes sure that the user interface talks to the
server. This way, data can move around easily and safely.

Challenges/Issues Observed

One big challenge we had was finding real-time data for our database.
It was super important to keep the rental listings and all the info on
our website fresh and accurate. So, we had to work on getting
real-time data feeds going. First, we needed to find reliable sources
for data. Then, we set up a system for continuous integration of that
data. It was vital to ensure the info got updated quickly to show any
changes. This made everything smoother for our users!
