Edit a property or rental listing

Update the correct rental and check its saved public details.

Identify the exact property and unit. Listing details, property records and existing leases have separate purposes.

Step 1: Choose the rental

Open Properties, select the property and open Marketing. Find the correct unit or room. Open More listing actions and choose Edit, or Continue setup for an unfinished listing. If those choices are missing, use Set up listing or Start marketing for the selected rental.

Step 4: Save and review

Choose Continue or Save & finish later and read the result. Reopen the rental to confirm the saved details. Review the public listing and its publication status separately.

Correct the property address

Open the property's Settings and find Address and property type. Review Street address, City, State and ZIP code, plus any Unit field shown, then select Save changes. Changing the listing title or description does not update the property address. Contact support if a needed field is unavailable.

Address and property type settings with the Street address, Unit, City, State and ZIP code fields outlined together.
  1. Review Street address, Unit, City, State and ZIP code.
Correct address fields in the property’s Settings. Changing the listing title or description does not change these fields.

Review listing contact details

Listing contact is separate from the description. Use the property Marketing tools to choose account contact information or a different contact for that listing. See Change the contact details on a listing for the steps.

Pause new applications

In Marketing, open Application settings for the correct unit. Under New applications, choose Pause new applications and select Save setting. Check Paused and read the saved message.

The listing stays visible, renters can still inquire and existing applications remain available. Review invitations and screening requests separately. See Pause new applications for a rental for the full steps.

  1. Read what Pause new applications changes before saving.
Application settings is separate from marketing. Pause new applications leaves the listing visible and keeps existing applications available.

Check the public result

A saved edit does not by itself publish a draft listing. Review the listing status, address, rental details, photos and contact information on the public page.

Check outside listing sites separately. Do not switch marketing off and on just to assume an update was delivered.

Check the result

  • The intended rental has the saved details, and its public listing has been checked.

FAQs

Does changing asking rent rewrite an existing lease?

No assumption should be made from the listing edit. Review the saved lease and charges separately.

Why does another website still show old details?

Check the saved Rentari listing and publication status first. Contact support with the rental, destination link and outdated field if the difference continues.

Can I hide the address by changing the description?

No. Keep the actual rental address and review the public preview. Contact support about an unresolved privacy concern.

What if I need to change the property type?

Use the controls offered for that property or ask support. Do not create a duplicate rental just to work around an unavailable type change.

How often can I edit my listing?

Reopen the same listing when its details change. Check that each edit saved, then review the public listing and outside sites separately.

Can I keep my personal phone off the listing?

Review Listing contact and Marketing phone for that rental. A different listing contact is separate from your account phone. Read the call-forwarding guide before using a marketing number.

Why does the address look different on another site?

Compare the street number, street, unit, city, state and ZIP code. Formatting can differ; do not substitute a different address. Ask support about an unresolved mismatch.

What if an application address does not match an identity document?

Editing the property does not correct an application. Ask the applicant to review their own submitted details and use the application-correction process or contact support. Keep the actual information accurate.

Why does another site show a different phone number?

Check the saved Listing contact and Marketing phone, then compare the exact destination page. A different displayed number does not prove that your account phone changed. Send support the listing URL if calls are not reaching the intended contact.

Can the description contain a clickable hyperlink?

The public description is displayed as text. Use the listing's contact and application actions; do not rely on a description URL becoming clickable.
