NORFOLK, Va.-(February 28, 2008) - For Rent Media Solutions, a leading apartment resource for searching apartments nationwide and a division of Dominion Enterprises, generated awareness about the corporate housing market as a 2008 Visionary Partner during the Corporate Housing Providers Association (CHPA) Annual Conference.
