Today we pushed a once premium service to a free service under the landlords rental services at www.RateMyStudentRental.com. The rental description, which was originally a premium service, is now a free service for all landlords.

The rental description allows landlords to write a description for their rental which appears on the rental’s profile for all to see.  Landlords can edit the rental description as often as needed. Adding a rental description will provide students with unique information that will help them make their next student housing selections.

Some different ideas of topics to include in a rental description include:

• Share some of the unique characteristics of the rental.
• Discuss further detail about rent prices, utilities, or policies.
• Elaborate on the location or area, including nearby hot spots.

How to create a rental description (must be a RateMyStudentRental.com landlord, click here to see how to become a landlord):

• Log into www.ratemystudentrental.com with your landlord username and password.
• Click the ‘rental services’ tab

Compose your rental description today, now for free.  This will not only educate current and prospective students about the rental and your services but it will also optimize your rental’s profile in search engines like, Google, when students search for student housing on your campus.

This is a rental description from one of our current landlords rentals. You can see where and how it shows up on the profile.
