Retired Rental Listing Data?

[Justin Juhan]

Does anyone have a way to search for recently "removed" rental listings in an area? Or how does everyone find rental comps? I feel like current listings are a good start but would like to search an area for recently removed listings like zillow has for recently sold. This would paint a better picture to weed out "pie in the sky" listings and get down to what actually "sold"

I recently did a rent increase form on a section 8 property and looked at the current listings at the time (a month ago) to figure what market was at. Sec 8 came back with a lower number and I was trying to put together a list of market comps but only have 2 active comps in the area. Both are above our increase but still I would love to be able to show a larger number of recent comps.
