How do I create a listing?

Create an account. If you don’t have one already, you’ll want to create an account at Rentler.com. Click the red ‘Sign Up’ button on the top right of the homepage and fill out the information.
Go to the Landlord Dashboard. Once you log in, you’ll see two options: a tenant toolbox and a landlord dashboard. You’re going to want the landlord dashboard, so go ahead and click it.
Select 'Listings' from the left-hand sidebar.
Then click on 'Create a listing'. First, select the property you want to create a listing for or add a new property by selecting 'Create a listing' and then 'Add a new one'. If you're creating a new listing, first you need to select a property type. You can choose from:
- House – this refers to a detached residence owned by an individual. It typically means you are renting out the entire home to one set of renters.
- Basement/In-Law Apartments – An apartment located below street level, underneath another structure - usually a house. Includes a separate entrance and amenities. An in-law apartment can also refer to a detached rental structure on the same property.
- Apartment – this is a suite of rooms forming one residence, typically in a building containing a number of similar groups of rooms.
- Townhome – a building containing a number of individually owned residences, connected side-by-side.
- Condo/Multiplex – A housing structure that is either a.) part of a bigger unit or building, where the owner of the condo owns the interiors independently and the other services in the building jointly with other condo owners. Or b .) a house divided into multiple apartments, with a separate entrance for each.
- Single Room – select this if you are renting a room with a shared kitchen and common areas within the same building structure.
- Sublease/ Student Contracts – this refers to the transfer of a lease from a current tenant to another person, but with the original tenant retaining some right or interest under the original lease. A student contract can be a sublease or a lease for housing that is approved by a higher education institution or rented to someone based on lease parameters that work with students.
