| Signing Up For An Account |
|
How do I sign up?
If you are a prospective tenant, no sign-up is required to search (free) rental listings on our site.
However, if you would like to receive email notifications of new rental property listings matching specific criteria, or to
apply online for specific rental properties, sign-up is required. It's a very easy process. If you are not yet registered,
simply click the "Register" button on the Home Page or Tenants Page and follow the instructions.
If you are a landlord and have not yet registered, simply select the "Register" button on the Home Page or Landlords Page and
follow the directions to complete that registration.
Once registered, simply enter you email address and your password to edit any specific account information. By selecting the
"Remember me next time" option at sign-up, you will be able to bypass having to enter your email address and password each time
you come to the site. Instead, you will automatically be logged-in.

Will my Rental Listing automatically be posted to craigslist?
No. craigslist does not currently allow for the automation of rental postings to post ads for the benefit
of others. You have to create a craigslist ad manually. We do create the HTML code and provide
the capability for you to copy and paste the HTML code into the description box of your craigslist ad.
(See instructions immediately below).

How do I get my Rental Listing posted to craigslist?
Once you've created your Rental Listing and prepared it for activation, you will see a link
labeled "Post on craigslist". Clicking this link will send you directly to craigslist. On
craigslist, you will need to enter some basic information in the subject area (including title,
address, and rent amount), and then copy and paste your rental listing HTML we provide for you,
into the craigslist posting description box.
Note: If you experience problems with the link, check to see if you have a pop-up blocker enabled.
If so, turn it off (usually in your Google or Yahoo toolbar). If this doesn't work, you can still
initiate a post by going directly to the craigslist site. Please see the craigslist instructions
page for step-by-step instructions.
craigslist will send you an email to activate and manage your rental listing. You should save that
email in the event you later wish to edit or delete that listing from the craigslist site.
Anytime you change your rental listing information on our site, the associated HTML information for
that listing will also be updated. You can then simply edit or post new listings on craigslist
using that HTML code.
|
|
If I modify or renew my listing, will the changes be automatically reflected on craigslist?
|
|
How will my rental listing look on craigslist?
Because your rental listing is being posted on another site that has their own specific
restrictions, your ad appear a bit differently than it does here on RentLizard.com. Additionally
you must read and abide by the
craigslist
terms of use
. Please familiarize yourself with what is and what is not acceptable. We help
create for you an attractive listing that will be accepted by craigslist and strive to abide by both
the letter and spirit of the craigslist Terms Of Use. We hope our users will do the same.
