Browse free listings in Atlanta

Good news for those of you looking to rent an apartment, condo or home in metro Atlanta: occupancy is down, so deals are up. According to a recent AJC article, apartment occupancy has fallen to 88 percent over the last 12 months, down from 91 percent. So what does that mean for renters? More competitive rental pricing and other freebies.

The downside is that credit requirements have also tightened, so make sure to check your credit report and work on increasing your score so you can take advantage of the good deals right now.

As always, search the ajcexchange apartment listings for great apartments all over metro Atlanta. Remember, you can narrow the results by including a neighborhood in your search. Happy apartment hunting!

We’ve heard you! The top concern from ajcexchange users is the number of fraudulent ads. While we are committed to letting legitimate ads go up live immediately, we want to make sure questionable ads go through a review process.

Today we are launching an improvement to the Web site. All ads will be checked automatically for criteria we know are common to fraudulent ads, and questionable ones will be held back for further review. These ads will be posted as soon as the ajcexchange.com team approves the ad. Typically, this is within a few hours, but may be as many as 12-24 hours based on staffing. All ads that pass the automatic check will continue to post immediately, as all ads have done in the past.

All ads on ajcexchange will continue to get reviewed, even those initially rated as safe. However, the most suspect ads will not post immediately, ensuring that buyers do not see them unless we
determine that they are valid.

We will not publish all of the criteria that go into rating an ad. (If we did, the bad guys would try to get around the system!) One thing you can do to improve your TrustMeter score is to refrain from posting duplicate ads. If you want to “renew” your ad before it has expired, take the time to cancel the original ad first.

The ajcexchange development team, led by Eric Bates, has worked hard to bring you this enhancement, which we’re confident will make ajcexchange a safer environment for Atlanta-area buyers and sellers.

Let us know what you think about TrustMeter. We look forward to your feedback!
