Rooms & Rentals

Practical help for advertising, finding and managing rooms and rental homes.

Advertising a rental

When you post an ad for a rental, you first choose a subtype: Whole Property, Vacation Stay or Commercial. The form adapts to your choice, and switching between rental subtypes keeps the details you have already entered.

Browsing rentals

The properties to rent pages bring whole-property rentals and room rentals together, with a filter to narrow to either. The default heading shows "Properties for rent" until you apply a filter.

Choose the right category

A room is a bedroom within a shared household. A whole-property rental is a self-contained home, apartment or unit. See Choose the right room or rental category for help deciding.

Clear pricing, honest descriptions and current photos help the right renter find you.
