Rental Home Telegram Bot – A Python-based Telegram bot that monitors popular rental listing platforms for new rental homes. As soon as new listings matching user-defined criteria (such as location, price, or number of rooms) appear, the bot sends instant notifications to a Telegram chat. This helped users (myself) stay updated and react quickly to new rental opportunities.
