WilliamPaid, the online renter and roommate resource, announces the first winners of its monthly Free Rent Sweepstakes that provides three winners with up to $1000 of free rent for a month.

CHICAGO, Nov. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- WilliamPaid, an online renter and roommate resource launching in January 2010, announces the three winners of its inaugural WilliamPaid Free Rent Sweepstakes. The winners of the October drawing are Cameron Moseberry of Champaign, Illinois, Emmanuel Rabanal of Orlando, Florida and Paige Robinson of Naperville, Illinois. Each winner will receive the amount of his or her monthly rent payment.

"On behalf of WilliamPaid, I'm pleased to congratulate Manny, Cameron and Paige and thrilled to be able to pay their rent," said Evan Silverman, Chief Executive Officer of WilliamPaid. "In these challenging times of job cut backs and tight budgets, it can be difficult to maintain your bills, and having your rent paid for you one month can help ease financial pressure. We hope that, even in a small way, our monthly sweepstakes will help."

Rabanal, an accountant at a hotel, was grateful for the extra cash, as his work hours have been cut recently. "It is surely a good Thanksgiving present," said Rabanal. He expects to use the extra money to buy holiday gifts for his children as well as give back to the community.

Robinson, an account coordinator at a marketing firm, was thrilled that she had won free rent. "I honestly couldn't believe it," said Robinson. She has several uses for the extra money she'll save on rent. "I am planning on buying Christmas presents for my family and friends without having to shop on a strict budget. Also, this December, I am running in the Las Vegas Rock n' Roll Half Marathon in honor of my younger brother, Taylor, to raise money and awareness about Crohn's Disease, so I will definitely be making a donation to CCFA. The money that I have left over will go straight into my savings account."

The WilliamPaid Free Rent Sweepstakes provides rent relief to three winners each month by paying up to $1000 of their rent. The October drawing was the first of the monthly sweepstakes. Entries can be made at http://www.williampaid.com/promo/freerentsweeps/, and individuals can enter each month's drawing. Additional opportunities for entries are announced on the WilliamPaid website and the company's Twitter account (http://twitter.com/williampaid).
