Q: How do I list a vacant unit on Zillow?
A: First, verify your property in MyRentalSpot (look for the green "Verified" badge). Once verified, go to your Properties List, expand the property to see units, and click the blue "List on Zillow" button next to any vacant unit. Confirm the listing details and your unit will be live on Zillow within minutes. Photos, rent, layout, and availability all sync automatically from MyRentalSpot.
Q: What is property verification and why do I need it?
A: Property verification confirms you own or manage the property, which unlocks Zillow integration and displays a trust badge to prospective tenants. To verify, go to your property settings and upload proof of ownership (deed, property tax statement, or management agreement). Verification is typically completed within 1-2 business days and is a one-time process per property.
Q: How does the Craigslist template generator work?
A: Select a vacant unit and click to create a Craigslist listing. MyRentalSpot pre-fills all unit details (rent, bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, address) and generates a professional description with unit highlights, terms, and contact info. Select which photos to include, then click "Copy All" to copy everything to your clipboard. Paste directly into Craigslist's posting form - it turns a 20-minute task into 2 minutes.
Q: Can I track how long units have been vacant?
A: Yes! MyRentalSpot automatically tracks "Days Vacant" for every unit from the moment it becomes available. You'll see this displayed prominently (e.g., "Vacant 15d") with the exact available date. Units vacant too long show a red "Need listing" alert. Use the "Has Vacancies" filter to quickly see all properties that need marketing attention across your portfolio.
Q: What information syncs to Zillow automatically?
A: When you list on Zillow, MyRentalSpot syncs: monthly rent amount, property address, unit number, bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, available date, pet policy, parking details, amenities, and all photos uploaded for that unit. The listing description is also generated based on your unit details. You can review and edit everything before publishing.
Q: Can I customize the Craigslist description template?
A: Absolutely! The auto-generated description is fully editable in the text area. You can modify any section, add your own highlights, change the formatting, or completely rewrite it. Click "Regenerate" to get a new version if you want fresh copy. You can also save drafts to come back to later, and the template remembers your preferred contact information.
