How to Add Lease Type Details
Step 1: Use the Lease Information Section in Your Listing
- Start by signing in to your account and going to My Listings.
- Find the listing you would like to make changes to, and select Edit.
Select the Amenities & Details tab on the left:
On the Amenities & Details page, scroll down and you’ll find a section called Lease Information (under Amenities) — this is where you can check off the lease types your property offers:
To reach a wider audience and appear in more search results, check all that apply:
| 12-Month Lease | Standard annual lease |
| Academic Year Lease | Ideal for students on campus from fall through spring (e.g., August-May) |
| Short-Term Lease | Generally under 12 months |
| Month-to-Month Lease | Offers flexible, rolling terms |
| Semester Lease | Works well for fall-only or spring-only renters |
| Flexible Lease | If you’re open to custom lease durations |
| Summer, Fall, Winter, or Spring Sublet | For seasonal turnover or internship stays |
💡 Tip: If lease types vary by unit, clarify this in your description.
Step 2: Add Lease Details in the Property Description
Students, faculty, and staff want to understand their options clearly. In your property description, be sure to include:
- Which lease lengths are available (e.g., 12-month, 10-month, 6-month, etc.)
- Whether move-in/move-out dates are fixed or flexible
- Whether furnished units are available
- Any premiums or discounts for shorter stays
- Renewal or extension policies
📌 Example Add-On:
"Now offering flexible leases for students, visiting faculty, and relocating staff! Options include 12-month, academic-year, semester, or month-to-month leases. Furnished units available. Reach out to learn more about availability and pricing."
Who's Searching for These Options?
- Undergraduate students needing semester or academic-year leases
- Graduate students and interns on 3–6 month research or clinical rotations
- Newly hired faculty/staff relocating to the area who need transitional housing
- Visiting scholars or adjuncts on short-term teaching appointments
- International students/faculty who may not arrive or depart on a standard lease cycle
Why This Matters
🎯 More visibility = More leads Users filter listings by lease type — if your lease options aren’t clearly selected, you may be left out of relevant search results. |
💬 Fewer questions, faster decisions The more clearly you communicate lease terms, the faster serious renters will reach out and commit. |
📈 A better match for evolving demand Universities attract not just students but professionals with unique housing timelines. Properties that show flexibility stand out and lease faster. |
⚠️ Don’t Forget:
- Be honest about what you offer — only check boxes for lease types you truly support
- If sublets are allowed or furnished options are available, mention it clearly
- Use the Move-In Options field to reflect your next available date, especially if it aligns with academic calendars
