Use Detailed Headlines
Create attention-grabbing headlines that are descriptive and enticing without overusing capitals or exclamation points. Proper formatting and carefully chosen keywords will increase the visibility of your ad and encourage clicks from potential tenants.

Bullet List Description
Give a comprehensive yet concise description of the property and its features in your advertisement. Use bullet points to emphasize important details such as the property’s layout, included amenities, leasing terms, necessary qualifications to secure the unit, availability, location, and pet friendliness. This structured approach guarantees clarity and aids prospective tenants in determining quickly whether the property satisfies their demands.
- An overview of the property’s condition: Is it older? Modern? Newly renovated?
- A description of the property’s layout: Is it an open floor plan? How large are the rooms?
- What’s included in the stated rent? Heat? Hot water? Electricity? Parking?
- Does the property offer any amenities? A laundry room? A gym? Outdoor space?
- Describe the general lease terms, such as month-to-month vs. a year-long lease
- What will be required to secure the apartment? First month’s rent? Last month’s rent? A security deposit? Do you require a background check? Employment check? Landlord references?
- When will the property become available for rent?
