How liv.rent’s Sponsored Listings fill vacancies faster

Bringing even more value to landlords & property managers, liv.rent has updated our Sponsored Listings feature to make finding qualified tenants quicker & easier than ever, with flexible pricing for every business. Doing the work of an entire marketing team, our sponsored listings help give your rental property enhanced exposure when & where you need it most, with automated advertising solutions designed to deliver maximum results. Here, we’ll break down how sponsored listings can help you save time in your growing rental business and fill your vacancies with qualified renters.

How Sponsored Listings work

Starting at just $1.72 per day, liv.rent’s new Sponsored Listings options give landlords more control over where and for how long their listings are displayed while helping them reach far more renters with prominent placement on our listing pages. Now, you can schedule your sponsored listings to take effect and end on specific dates, helping you extend your property’s reach when you need it most.

Once sponsored, your listing will automatically appear at the top of renters’ listing results, with your rental property’s rent price and unit details front & centre.

Here’s a preview of what your Sponsored Listing will look like:

Why boost your listing on liv.rent

Did you know that sponsored listings can result in up to 300% more inquiries?

In addition to getting exposure, one of the toughest things about managing any property is making sure you have the right tenant renting from you. At liv.rent, we verify renters’ identity and income documents to help you avoid unsuitable tenants from the get-go, ensuring you’re only communicating with trustworthy, qualified applicants.

By utilizing the sponsored listings feature, you’re expanding your audience of qualified renters significantly by ensuring your listing is front & centre on liv.rent’s listing pages. This way, any renters with relevant search criteria will see your listing first, driving more inquiries & applications and ultimately getting your property rented out as quickly as possible.
