Check commercial and other listing eligibility

Check commercial-property marketing separately from saving and managing the property.

Have the property's actual use, address and availability ready.

Use the correct property type

Choose the type that matches the real rental, including commercial space when appropriate. Saving the property does not mean it is eligible for every listing site.

Other Types selected in property setup, with the Other building type field set to Commercial and both controls highlighted.
  1. Choose Other Types when the listed residential types do not match.
  2. Set Other building type to Commercial when it matches the property.
For commercial space, choose Other Types and Commercial under Other building type. This records the property type; each destination has its own eligibility requirements.

Check online marketing eligibility

Residential listing sites may not accept commercial space. Open the rental's marketing view and review its available destinations, requirements and blockers. Do not label commercial space as residential to bypass a restriction.

Check the actual rent, availability, address and property details before publishing. If a destination does not accept the rental, use only the other advertising options available for it.

Keep management separate from marketing

A publication restriction does not change the property's real use or rental records. Review the tools available for that property separately, including rent collection, applications, screening, lease management and expense tracking. Eligibility for one tool does not establish eligibility for the others.

Keep the finances organized

Record income and expenses against the correct property. Review the relevant payment and accounting guides for the tools you use.

Check the result

  • You have separated the saved property record from its marketing and tool eligibility.

FAQs

Will a commercial rental appear on every residential site?

No. Check the destination requirements and the status shown for this property; publication is not guaranteed.

What if the property is also for sale?

Confirm that it is actually available to rent and that you have permission to lease it. Keep both ads accurate and review any duplicate-listing restrictions.
