1 QUAD CITIES AREA HOUSING INFORMATION According to the Quad Cities Rental Property Association, Inc. (QCRPA), since there are over 3,000 landlords in Davenport alone, a landlord list is not the most efficient way to search for rental housing. However, by visiting you can explain exactly what you re looking for and your request will be viewed by QCRPA members. (This is a public site, so others will be able to view your request as well.) Also according to QCRPA, responses to housing requests are typically within a day or two.
