Abstract

The increasing demand for online property listings has led to the development of several web-based applications aimed at simplifying property rental processes. This paper presents a house rental application developed using the MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js (MERN) stack, which facilitates property owners to list their houses while providing tenants with a convenient platform to search for rental properties based on various criteria. The application supports functionality for user authentication, a searchable property database, a Wishlist feature, and the ability to view property owners’ contact details. The system uses JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for secure user authentication and Material UI for an intuitive, user-friendly interface. This paper discusses the core features of the application, its architecture, and the technologies employed, focusing on how it contributes to streamlining the house rental process and enhancing user experience.
