Make your property student-ready

A useful student listing answers the questions a prospective tenant would ask during a visit. You do not need a polished showroom. You need an accurate picture of the space, clear expectations and a setup that supports everyday student life.

Photograph one space at a time

Take separate photos of the bedroom, study area, bathroom, kitchen and entrance. Use daylight where possible and keep the camera level. Avoid collages and filters that change how the room looks. Choose your strongest representative photo as the cover, then arrange the others in the order a student would explore the property.

Filhome accommodates different photo shapes without stretching them. Students can open the full image, so keep important features visible and use captions to explain shared spaces.

Make the practical details easy to find

State whether you offer a whole home, private room or bedspace. Describe who shares the property, what furniture is included and whether internet costs extra. Set the map pin carefully. Explain house rules, guest arrangements and any limits on cooking or pets before a student needs to ask.

Think about an ordinary study day

A usable desk, reliable lighting, sensible storage and clear expectations about noise can matter as much as decoration. Check that listed amenities work. If something changes after you publish, update the listing and let affected students know.

Keep enquiries moving

Respond to specific questions with specific answers. Review booking requests in your dashboard, confirm the intended move-in date and follow the lease and payment stages shown there. The property inspection badge and student identity check describe different checks, so avoid treating either as a promise about every future interaction.

For money management, review the separate rent and deposit information in your host dashboard and follow the available withdrawal process.
