SANTA MONICA, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 06/01/09 -- WestsideRentals.com, Southern California's leading resource for landlords and tenants, has introduced text messaging and a new Apple iPhone application, making its service available in the palm of the hand, anytime, anywhere.
"Mobile devices are the future of apartment-hunting: there's no more convenient and immediate way for renters to search listings, get more information about a property, or contact a landlord than through a text message or using an iPhone," says WestsideRentals.com Owner Mark Verge.
The WestsideRentals.com iPhone application is currently available for free download and enables WestsideRentals.com members to search its complete listing of available units, view photographs of properties, compare prices and more for searches like Santa Monica Apartments.
"Renters simply start their search by area and refine their search results based on amenities, the desired number of bedrooms or bathrooms, price or other criteria," Verge says. "While scrolling through the search results, click on an entry for more specifics, including lease type, move-in details or landlord contact information."
Also, renters with any type of cell phone can get details on thousands of properties via text message. By sending a text message containing the six-digit property code listed on WestsideRentals.com's "For Rent" signs to "2RENT" or "27368." Members of WestsideRentals.com automatically receive extra information and may access even more by texting "Details" in reply. iPhone users may click on the landlord's phone number to instantly place a call if they're interested in the unit.
Video tutorials demonstrating how to use WestsideRentals.com text messaging or the iPhone app are available at http://www.westsiderentals.com/tutorials. Both these features are included with WestsideRentals.com membership, which also provides photos and 360-degree virtual tours, free credit checks, online forms and applications, and more.

The MyLaw Portal uses a Microsoft SQL scheme for managing permissions via groups that is very similar to the methods used in Active Directory. In fact, upon logon it verifies the username, password, and groups against AD, then continues to seek group permissions within SQL. This integration was made to avoid duplications of username & password, and to avoid duplication of permission management. The permission schema can be controlled by any member of the IT department and functions by placing users into department buckets, which are then granted access to a particular set of applications.
