# How to Manage Rental Property Listings

PayRent can publish a public rental listings page for your business.

PayRent can publish a **public rental listings page** for your business. Prospects can browse your vacant (and listed) homes, view photos or Street View, and send you an inquiry — without creating an account.

Your page looks like:  
https://app.payrent.com/l/<your-unique-link>

## What gets listed

Each **unit** you add in PayRent can appear on your listings page. Listings typically show:

-   Rent amount
    
-   City and state (or full street address, if you turn that on)
    
-   Beds and baths (hidden for commercial units)
    
-   Your listing description
    
-   Availability status (Available Now, Coming Soon, or Occupied)
    
-   A photo when available, otherwise a Street View image when location data allows
    

**Tip:** Keep unit details (rent, beds/baths, availability, description) up to date — your public page updates from the same unit record you manage in PayRent.

## Step 1: Add or edit a unit

1.  Sign in as a landlord.
    
2.  Go to **Properties** and open the property/unit you want to list (or add a new unit).
    
3.  Fill in the usual unit details: address, rent, type (residential or commercial), beds/baths, and availability.
    
4.  In **Listing description**, write a short public-facing blurb (what makes the home appealing, nearby amenities, pet policy highlights, etc.).
    
    -   This text is **shown on your rental listing page**.
        
    -   Optional: use **Enhance with AI** to polish the description, then edit anything before saving.
        
5.  Save the unit.
    

Repeat for each unit you want on the page.

## Step 2: Make your listings page public

By default, your page may already be public after PayRent creates it. Confirm the settings:

1.  Open the menu and go to **Account Settings → Preferences**.
    
2.  Scroll to **Listings Page**.
    
3.  Copy your link or click **Open page** to preview it.
    
4.  Turn on **Make my rental listings page public** if it isn’t already.
    
    -   These visibility toggles **save immediately** (you don’t need to click SAVE for them).
        
5.  Optional: turn on **Show full street address on my public page**.
    
    -   Off = city and state only (more privacy).
        
    -   On = street address (and unit, when present) on cards, the contact property dropdown, and search/SEO data.
        

When the page is **private**, the public link won’t load for visitors, and the in-app **View Rental Listings Page** shortcut is hidden.

## Step 3: Preview and share

Ways to open your page:

-   **Account Settings → Preferences → Listings Page → Open page / Copy link**
    
-   **View Rental Listings Page** (when the page is public) from places that show that shortcut in the landlord app
    

On the public page, use **Share** in the header to send the link via device share, copy, email, or WhatsApp.

Share the link on:

-   Your website or Google Business Profile
    
-   Zillow / apartments.com / Facebook Marketplace posts
    
-   Email or text to prospects
    
-   Payment onboarding “business website” fields (PayRent can prefill this with your listings page)
    

## What renters see

On your public page, visitors can:

1.  Browse your listings (paginated when you have many).
    
2.  Tap **Request Details** / **Schedule a Tour**.
    
3.  Submit the **Contact** form (name, email, optional phone, property of interest, message).
    

You’ll get an email inquiry so you can follow up. Your personal email and phone are **not** shown on the public page.

## FAQ

**Do I need a separate website?**  
No. PayRent creates and hosts your listings page. You can still override “Business Website” elsewhere with a Zillow or personal site if you prefer.

**Why don’t I see beds and baths?**  
Commercial units hide bedroom/bathroom details on the public cards.

**Why is only city and state showing?**  
Full street address is off in **Preferences → Listings Page**. Turn on **Show full street address** to display it.

**Can I hide the page temporarily?**  
Yes. Turn off **Make my rental listings page public** in Preferences. Prospects won’t be able to open it until you turn it back on.

**Who receives inquiries?**  
They go to the email on your landlord account.
