Do you know of craigslist?  Is craigslist in your area?:
http://www.craigslist.org/

You might want to try a referral program with your current renters.  
Give them a discount on their rent if they bring in new renters.

Many apartment complexes run move in specials that give the new renter 
a discount on the first months rent or gives them a TV or the like for 
moving.

The notice boards idea form Maren is a god one to.  Some grocery stores 
have these.
