# List a rental

> Create a listing for a vacant property, publish it to Rentiqa's long-term search, and pause or close it when you are done.

A listing is the public advert for a property. Until you publish one, nobody outside your account sees the property.

## Create and publish

1. Open **Leasing › Listings** ([Listings](https://app.rentiqa.com/leases/listings)) and press **Create Listing**, or press **Create a listing** on the property's Overview.
2. Pick the property and press **Continue**.
3. Write the **Headline** (required) and description, and check the **Monthly rent**, **Security deposit**, **Min lease (months)** (0 means month-to-month), **Available from** date and features (pets allowed, parking, utilities included, furnished). Rent, deposit and terms are filled in from the property's **Lease setup**.
4. Press **Save Draft** to finish later, or **Save & Publish** to go live.

A published listing appears in [Long-term rentals](https://app.rentiqa.com/tenant/browse), where renters can view it, send an inquiry, request a tour and apply. Its page also shows **What's required to apply**, from the property's screening requirements, and an **Equal housing** statement: the Maine Human Rights Act wording for a property in Maine, the federal Fair Housing Act wording elsewhere.

Before tenants can pay rent or deposits through Rentiqa, finish setting up your payout account: see [Set up how you get paid](https://app.rentiqa.com/help/landlords/set-up-how-you-get-paid).

## Manage a listing

Open a listing to **Preview** it as renters see it, or to **Pause** it (hidden for now), **Resume** it, **Close** it (rented) or **Reopen as Draft**. The listings page shows how many are live, in draft, gone quiet, and the inquiries they have had.
