Zumper is an American online rental marketplace that provides apartment and housing listings in the United States and Canada.[1][2][3] Founded in 2012, the company operates rental platforms, including PadMapper, which it acquired in 2016.[4][5] The company was launched at TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco by Anthemos Georgiades, Russell Middleton, Taylor Glass-Moore, and Leah Jones.[6] By 2018, Zumper hosted around one million rental listings and attracted approximately eight million monthly visitors.[7]

History

Zumper was founded after Anthemos Georgiades experienced difficulties finding rental housing while studying at Harvard Business School.[8]

The company acquired PadMapper, a map-based rental search platform, in 2016.[9][10] Prior to the acquisition, PadMapper had been involved in a legal dispute with Craigslist over the scraping of rental listings, which was settled in 2015.[11]

In November 2017, Facebook Marketplace integrated rental listings from Zumper and Apartment List into its housing section.[12][13] The partnership was later discontinued.[14][15]

The company raised additional venture funding in 2018 and 2020, including rounds led by Axel Springer and E.ventures.[7][16][17][18]

In 2021, the New York State Division of Human Rights announced the resolution of a source-of-income discrimination complaint against Zumper and PadMapper. The agency stated that a filter on the companies' websites affected rental listings shown to prospective tenants using Section 8 vouchers in parts of New York. The companies removed the filter, agreed to change certain practices, and paid civil fines.[19][20]

In June 2022, Zumper laid off approximately 15 percent of its staff, with most cuts affecting the sales and customer service departments.[21] Later that year, the company launched a short-term rental product and raised additional funding as an extension to its Series D round.[22][23]

In 2026, chief revenue officer Shawn Mullahy was appointed chief executive officer, succeeding co-founder Anthemos Georgiades,[24] who became chairman of the board.[25]

Operations

The platform allows users to search residential rental listings, submit rental applications, and communicate with property managers online.[1][26] The company also publishes rental market data and reports that have been cited by news media and public institutions.[27][28][29][30][31][32]
