Choose the Right Room or Rental Category

Match your property or search to the right category so the right people can find it.

Start with what is being offered

Choose a room when someone will rent a bedroom within a shared household. Choose a full rental when the renter will have the whole home, apartment or other self-contained property.

Be clear about sharing

If common spaces, bills or a landlord are part of the arrangement, say so in the advert. Clear expectations help people decide whether the home is a good fit before they enquire.

Student accommodation deserves extra detail

Students often need to compare travel time, furnished rooms, utility costs and the academic-year timing. Include the university area or a practical nearby location where appropriate.

A specific category and honest description save time for both the advertiser and the person searching.
