How do I list a rental on EazyRental?
- Register or sign in.
- Complete Become a landlord.
- Open New listing and add the home, rent, photos, and availability.
- Submit for moderation. Public search shows the listing after review.

What photos and facts belong on the listing?
- Every habitable room, plus kitchen, bathroom, entry, and exterior.
- Daylight, blinds open, clutter removed. Do not edit the space to hide damage.
- Bedrooms, bathrooms, parking, in-suite laundry, and what utilities are included.
- Availability date and the intended lease term (fixed or month-to-month).
- Pet rules you will actually enforce — they should match the written agreement.
- City and neighbourhood. Public pages show locality, not a street-level pin in structured data.
Price against similar live listings in the same city on EazyRental. We do not publish a recommended “market rent.” A vacant month usually costs more than a slightly lower asking rent.
What Alberta rules should I check before I advertise?
If the RTA applies, Alberta.ca — Starting a tenancy is the first official page to read:
- Do not ask for a security deposit larger than one month’s rent.
- Plan to deposit it in an Alberta interest-bearing trust account within two banking days.
- Write the names of the parties, rent, what is included, and who may live there.
- Book a move-in inspection within the window Alberta.ca describes (within one week before or after possession).
Rent increases, entry notice, and ending a periodic tenancy have their own pages — Alberta tenancy basics links them. If you are unsure whether a fee is allowed, verify with Service Alberta instead of guessing.
How should I handle inquiries, tours, and applications?
- Reply the same day when you can. Serious renters contact several homes.
- Offer an in-person tour or a live video walkthrough — never collect a deposit first.
- Use the same screening questions for every applicant.
- Do not refuse someone for a reason that human-rights law in Alberta protects.
- Keep messages on the platform so you have a record.
More product detail lives in the longer landlord guide. Current plan options are on Pricing.
What should I do after a tenant is chosen?
- Sign a written residential tenancy agreement that matches the listing.
- Complete the move-in inspection and give the tenant a copy immediately.
- Place the deposit in the required trust account and issue a receipt.
- Keep the listing updated or deactivate it so renters are not touring a rented home.
