Boston, MA (December 10, 2025)—Rental Beast, the leading rental listing platform and software provider, continues to build significant industry momentum with the announcement of a new partnership with the Northwest Indiana REALTORS® Association Multiple Listing Service (NIRA MLS). Beginning today, NIRA MLS’s members will receive complimentary access to Rental Beast Pro, the platform’s premium suite of rental tools designed to help real estate professionals succeed in an increasingly rental-driven market.
This partnership marks another milestone in Rental Beast’s rapid expansion across MLSs and associations, as organizations nationwide respond to the strong, sustained demand for high-quality rental data, technology, and workflow solutions. Heading into 2026, rentals are expected to remain a critical driver of transaction volume and long-term client pipelines.
With nearly 30% of Indiana households renting, rentals are no longer a secondary segment of the real estate industry but a critical driver of business growth. By integrating Rental Beast into its member benefits, NIRA MLS equips its nearly 4,000 members with the resources they need to serve renters, landlords, and future homeowners more effectively.
Key tools now available to NIRA members include:
Lead Tracking and Client Management Tools: Manage renter leads as efficiently as buyers and sellers.
“As the rental market becomes a larger share of the overall housing landscape, REALTORS® need access to the same quality of tools for rentals that they’ve relied on for years in the for-sale space,” said Ishay Grinberg, Founder and CEO of Rental Beast. “Our partnership with NIRA MLS reflects the growing momentum we’re seeing across the industry. More organizations are recognizing the importance of supporting rental transactions, and we’re excited to help NIRA MLS agents thrive.”
“Nearly one in three households in Indiana rent their home, and that number continues to grow,” said Dan Kelley, President of NIRA MLS. “By adding Rental Beast to our suite of member
benefits, we’re empowering our REALTORS® to confidently serve a broader segment of the market and unlock new business opportunities, not just today, but as we move into 2026 and beyond.”
This partnership is part of a broader shift as industry organizations expand their member benefits to include Rental Beast Pro, aligning themselves with changing market dynamics and rising demand for rental expertise. With direct access to comprehensive rental data, professional-grade tools, and streamlined workflows, NIRA members are now better positioned to support clients at every stage of the real estate journey.
