Creating and Publishing a Listing

Turn your vacant unit into an active listing that attracts qualified tenants. This guide covers the full process from start to finish, including writing descriptions, uploading photos, and going live.

Getting Started

1. Navigate to Listings in your dashboard sidebar and click Create Listing
2. Select the property and unit you want to list
3. Enter a title and monthly rent

Writing Your Description

You can write your listing description manually or let AI do the heavy lifting.

Using AI to Write Descriptions

1. Look for the AI Description button near the description field
2. Click it to generate a professional description based on your listing details
3. Review the generated text and make any personal adjustments
4. Save your changes

The AI considers your property type, size, bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, listed amenities, neighbourhood details, and rent when writing the description.

Description Best Practices

• Always review AI-generated text before publishing
• Add personal touches that highlight unique features
• Mention nearby transit, schools, or shopping if relevant
• Keep descriptions between 150 and 300 words for best engagement
• Avoid making claims about the neighbourhood that you cannot verify

Uploading Photos and Media

Great photos are the most important factor in attracting tenant interest.

Photo Requirements

• A minimum of 5 photos is required to publish a listing
• Supported formats: JPG, PNG, WebP
• Images are automatically compressed for fast loading

How to Upload

1. Scroll to the Photos section in the listing editor
2. Drag and drop images or click Upload to select files
3. Reorder photos by dragging them into your preferred sequence
4. The first photo becomes the listing cover image

Photo Tips

• Use natural lighting whenever possible
• Capture each room from the doorway for the widest angle
• Include photos of shared spaces (lobby, laundry, parking)
• Show the exterior and street view
• Avoid photos with personal belongings or clutter

Choosing a Cover Photo

Your cover photo appears in search results and listing cards. Choose an image that shows the best feature of the unit, is well-lit and in focus, and represents the space accurately.

1. Preview your listing to see how it will look to prospective tenants
2. Verify that all required fields are completed
3. Click Publish to go live
