This guide is for landlords listing a rental on Realhaus. By the end, your property will have a listing with photos, a description and rent terms. Before you start, verify your identity and complete your profile: Realhaus asks for both before you can add a property.

Step 1: Start a new property

  1. Sign in at app.realhaus.ca and select Listings in the menu.
  2. Select Add new property.
  3. If you already have a property on Realhaus, you're asked whether to start fresh or reuse its details. Choose Create New Property, or Create from Existing Property and pick one under Select a property, then select Create Listing.
The Listings page with the Add new property button and three existing properties

Step 2: Enter the address

  1. In Street, start typing the address and select the matching suggestion. City, Province and Postal Code fill in for you.
  2. If the rental is a unit in a larger building, enter it in Apt, Suite (optional).
  3. Select Next.

Note: The Province list only shows provinces where Realhaus is available.

The address step with the street suggestion selected and the unit number entered

Step 3: Describe the property

  1. Enter Year Built and Size (sq ft), choose the Property type, and enter the number of Bedrooms and Bathrooms. Select Next.
  2. Under Describe your place to guests, write a few sentences about what renters care about: laundry, parking, nearby transit, and what you like about the neighbourhood. Select Next.

Step 4: Add photos and a title

  1. Drag photos into the upload area, or select it to choose files. Each photo can be up to 3 MB. The first photo becomes the cover image, so start with your best shot. Select Next.
  2. Enter a Title that renters will see in search results, for example "Bright 1-bedroom condo near the CTrain". Select Next.
Four photos uploaded on the photos step: living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom

Step 5: Say whether it's a shared space

  1. Under Is this a shared property?, choose YES if you're renting a room in a shared home, or NO for the whole unit.
  2. For a shared property, choose the room under Which of the Bedrooms are you renting out?.
  3. Choose the Bathroom Privacy, then select Create Listing. Your photos upload and the listing is saved.
The shared space step with NO selected and Private Bathroom chosen

Step 6: Set the rent terms

After the listing is created, Realhaus opens its Terms page.

  1. Choose the date in Property available on.
  2. Enter the Duration of rent (in months), the Cost of Rent (Monthly) and the Security Deposit.
  3. Select Save. You'll see Terms updated.

Important: A new listing is visible to renters as soon as you select Create Listing. Set the terms straight away, or select Unlist on the listing's card in Listings until it's ready.
