How to Post a House for Rent on Homeday
Step 1: Sign In and Go to the “My Listings” Menu
Start by visiting the Homeday website and clicking “Sign In,” then sign in with the account you previously registered, such as Google, Facebook, phone number, or Email.
Once you have signed in successfully, go to the Dashboard and select the “My Listings” menu to start managing your listings.
This menu is used to view existing listings, edit listings, or post a new house-for-rent listing.
Step 2: Add a New Listing and Select the Rental House Type
On the “My Listings” page, click the button to add a new listing, such as “Add Listing” or “Post New Listing.” Then set the listing type to Rent or For Rent, and choose the property type that matches your house, such as:
- Detached house
- Semi-detached house
- Townhome
- Townhouse
- House in a project
Choosing the correct listing type and property type helps people searching for a rental house on Homeday find your listing that better matches their needs.
Step 3: Fill In the Rental House Details and Add Complete Photos
After selecting the listing type, fill in the rental house details completely as required by the system. Key information you should include is:
- Project name or house name
- Location, address, or nearby area
- Monthly rent
- Security deposit and advance rent, if any
- Minimum contract term
- Land size
- Usable area
- Number of floors
- Number of bedrooms
- Number of bathrooms
- Number of parking spaces
- Furniture and appliances included with the house
- Pet policy, if any
- The home's highlights
- Nearby places
- Contact information
Then add clear photos of the house, such as the front of the house, living room, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, the surrounding area, parking, and the home's standout features.
Before submitting the listing, review the information again, especially the rent, phone number, rental conditions, location, and photos, because these details affect a tenant's decision.
Once the information is complete, submit the listing following the system's steps and check its status in the “Listing Status” menu.
What Should You Prepare Before Posting a House for Rent?
Before you start posting a house for rent on Homeday, we recommend having your information ready so you can fill in the listing faster without missing any details.
What you should prepare includes:
- Clear photos of the house
- Monthly rent
- Security deposit and advance rent
- Minimum rental contract term
- House type, such as detached house, semi-detached house, townhome
- Project name, if any
- Approximate location or address
- Land size
- Usable area
- Number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and parking spaces
- List of furniture and appliances
- Tenant conditions, such as whether pets are allowed, how many people can stay, or whether it suits families
- The home's highlights
- Nearby places, such as the BTS/MRT, malls, schools, hospitals, and expressways
- A working phone number or contact channel
If the house is in a project, you should prepare additional information such as common area fees, community facilities, security systems, and the project's main entrances and exits.
What Kind of Photos Make a Rental House Listing More Appealing?
Photos are an important part of a house-for-rent listing, because tenants often use photos to decide before reading the details.
We recommend using bright, clear photos that show the actual space of the house, such as:
- A full shot of the front of the house
- Living room photo
- Bedroom photo
- Bathroom photo
- Kitchen photo
- Laundry area photo
- Parking photo
- Garden or side-yard photo, if any
- Photos of the furniture and appliances included in the rental
- Photos of the project's common areas, if relevant
Avoid photos that are dark, blurry, tilted, or too cluttered, as they can make the house look unappealing even when the actual house already has good highlights.
Before taking photos, we recommend opening the curtains, turning on the lights, putting away unnecessary items, and capturing as much of the actual space as possible, so tenants understand the condition of the house even before scheduling a viewing.
