How to Rent Your Place

8/8/2025

A practical, step‑by‑step guide to prep, price, and market your rental using QR code powered signs that answer questions upfront.

Renting your place is easier when you remove friction for interested renters. This guide walks you through prepping your unit and using QR‑powered signs so prospects get answers immediately—no back‑and‑forth.

1) Prep your listing details

Before you show, gather the essentials:

  • Address or nearest cross‑streets
  • Bed/bath, square footage, parking, pet policy
  • Rent, deposit, lease term, utilities included
  • Application fee and screening criteria
  • Availability and showing times

2) Capture great photos

  • Bright daylight, curtains open
  • One hero exterior shot; 2–3 living, kitchen, primary bed/bath
  • Show storage, laundry, parking, outdoor space
  • Add a simple floor plan if possible

3) Price with the market

  • Check comparable rentals nearby
  • Adjust for amenities, in‑unit laundry, parking, AC, yard
  • Be explicit about what’s included to reduce follow‑up questions

4) Create a QR‑powered listing

With QR Market, create a digital page for your rental. Add photos, details, and FAQs. Then print a professional sign with a QR code that links to your page.

  • Place signs at building entrance and near street visibility
  • Add a “Now Leasing” rider with your key highlights (2–3 bullets)
  • Let the QR page carry the heavy details

5) Common questions to answer on your page

  • Pet policy (species/weight/deposit)
  • Utilities (which are included and average costs)
  • Parking details (assigned, street, fee)
  • Application criteria (income multiple, credit, background)
  • Move‑in costs and timeline

6) Screening and safety

  • Pre‑screen with a short form on your page (move‑in date, occupants, pets)
  • Conduct showings during daylight; confirm IDs before private tours
  • Never accept cash; use verified payment methods for deposits

7) Convert interest to applications

  • Include a clear “Apply Now” call‑to‑action
  • List documents required: ID, income proof, rental history
  • Provide expected response time to set expectations

Final tip

A QR code reduces “Is it still available?” and repetitive DMs. Prospects scan, read, and self‑qualify—so the messages you do get are ready to move.
