A rental listing just might be the hardest paragraph you'll ever have to write. It needs to be short but enticing, so there's a lot of pressure to make the listing as perfect as you can. It needs to be done fast, too, since that empty apartment is just sitting there costing you money. Keep reading to find out how to write the perfect apartment rental listing. The Perfect Headline Now take a minute to write down a headline that will make potential tenants want to read the rest of your ad. You'll want to get all the basics down: Price, bedrooms and baths, and neighbourhood. Also include a feature of the apartment to make it stand out a little from the rest. Add the Attractions In the main body of the ad, start off by talking about the positives. List the size of the apartment in terms of beds and baths as well as square feet, if you know it, then move on to the amenities. Does the place have a balcony? Stainless steel appliances? Wood floors? Add them in. Don't just mention the interior amenities either. Be sure to point out what the apartment is close to. Movie theatres, malls, parks, and restaurants are all great, but grocery stores and highways can be useful information too. The Details Stick the details at the end of the ad after you've got the reader hooked. Mention who pays the utilities, how much the security deposit is, the date the place is available, the pet policy, and so on. Put the contact information here too, and be sure to mention what name they should ask for if they call. There's nothing that scares a tenant off faster than an anonymous phone number. Tighten the Language You might have a whole head full of potential adjectives for your apartment, but just pick two. Any more sounds hyperbolic and blurs together. Try to stay away from vague terms like "gorgeous" and instead pick more concrete things like "well-lit" or "updated." Take Some Pictures An online ad without pictures might as well be invisible. Include pictures of every major room in the apartment. Skipping one sends up a red flag that there must be something horrifically wrong with the missing room. Take a picture of the exterior, too, if it looks nice. When taking pictures, be sure that all of the lights are on and the curtains open. Try to back into a corner or doorway so you can get the widest shot of the room to make it look larger. Make sure the place is clean and uncluttered too. If the place is packed full of stuff in the pictures, the potential tenant will wonder how in the world they can fit all of their stuff in. Conclusion Writing a rental listing can be tough, but the steps are clear-cut. Once you've got down all the necessary information and a few bragging points, it's just a matter of waiting to show the place off and find that ideal tenant.
