hey thomas, just checking out from twitter. Cool to see you working on new projects! I'm also trying to do the lean startup-way, but it's quite challenging to get people to talk to you I found :-)

Anyways, good luck with the chicken-and-egg problem it's a hard one hehe. I've never tried anything like that but from what I've read it's best if your app has value even with 0 users. Easier said than done, I know.

Still, I think you should pitch the landlords first. I feel for a housing website, offer is more important than demand. That is, people are not going to come to an empty site, but you can tell landlords you're working on the promotion of your site and user base is starting up. You should make it free for landlords to post at the beginning at least, that way it should be a no brainer. Another way would be to scrape data from existing websites, but I don't know if there are existing websites in your case :-)

For inspiration you can look at http://www.nakedapartments.com/, I love the site (it's not gay, only the title). Looking at american websites to see how they're doing and adapt it to our local markets is something I believe in.

Man, are you doing it for Jakarta? I think we discussed about it together in KL no? I remember when being in Jakarta I was impressed by the no-man's land of classified website. A very good market to get into IMHO!
