Find a tenant

Advertise a rental property. Sign the tenant. Same login.

Advertise a house, flat or HMO room to let on its own page with a link to share, and list it on the LetCompliance to-let pages if you choose. Applications come back to you, and viewings, referencing and the e-signed tenancy follow on the same record. Adverts are on every paid plan from £7.99 a month, with no per-listing fee; a full tenant reference is £24.99.

From the advert to a signed tenant

  1. Build the advert

    From the property you already have: rent, bedrooms, furnishing and photos. The whole property or a single room.

  2. Share it, or list it

    Its own link to send anywhere, and the LetCompliance to-let pages if you choose.

  3. Take applications

    Straight to you, with no account to create.

  4. Book viewings

    From the application; the applicant confirms the time from a link.

  5. Reference, then e-sign

    A credit-backed reference paid per check, then the agreement sealed with an audit certificate.

The short answer

Can I advertise a rental and find a tenant here?

Yes.You build an advert from the property already on your account, share it as a page on its own link, and take applications straight back to you. Then you book viewings, reference the tenant and any guarantor through a regulated UK credit reference agency, and e-sign the tenancy, all on the same record, with the applicant’s details carried from advert to signature.

Advertising is part of the 3-day trial and every paid plan, from £7.99 a month, with no per-listing fee. A credit-backed tenant reference is £24.99 and a guarantor reference £19.99, ordered per check.

Step by step

The whole run, in order

Finding a tenant is not one job, it is six, and the pain is the hand-offs between them. Here they are as one line, each step feeding the next from the same property record.

  1. Step 1

    Build the advert

    From the property you already have: headline, rent, bedrooms, furnishing, available-from, photos. Advertise the whole property or a single room.

  2. Step 2

    Listed publicly, and yours to share

    Turn on the public listing and, once it has a headline, a rent, a photo and a description, the advert goes on our to-let pages, where search engines can find it. Either way it has its own clean link to send to a local group, the outgoing tenant’s contacts or your own channels.

  3. Step 3

    Take applications

    Interested tenants apply through the link, straight to you, with no account to create. Applications land in one list you can filter, not scattered across texts, and the tenancy is created from the application you pick.

  4. Step 4

    Book viewings

    Book viewings from an application, so whoever you show round is already tied to their enquiry and confirms the time from a link. Do them yourself, or hand them to our viewing service in parts of the North West.

  5. Step 5

    Reference the tenant

    Reference the tenant and any guarantor through a regulated UK credit reference agency, paid per check, with the result stored on the tenancy. It is the decision you cannot undo.

  6. Step 6

    E-sign the tenancy

    Generate the correct agreement for the current law from the tenant’s record and have it e-signed, sealed with an audit certificate.

Writing the advert

What a listing that fills fast includes

The adverts that get good applications are not the fanciest. They are the ones that answer the questions a tenant asks before they enquire. Cover these and you filter out the wrong people before they book a viewing, which is where advertising actually saves you time.

  • One clear asking rent

    A single monthly figure. The Renters’ Rights Act bans inviting tenants to bid higher, so price it right and state it plainly.

  • Bedrooms, bathrooms, furnishing

    The three filters every tenant applies first. Say furnished, unfurnished or part-furnished; do not make them ask.

  • Available-from date

    The single most common enquiry question. An honest date stops a diary full of viewings from people who need it sooner.

  • Real photos, in daylight

    Every room, taken bright and level. The listing that hides the kitchen gets the viewing that wastes everyone’s morning.

  • What’s included

    Bills, parking, garden, white goods, whether pets may be considered. Clarity here is what a good tenant is looking for.

  • How to apply

    One link that takes an application straight back to you, not “message me” across three inboxes.

Each advert is built from a property you already have, with the advert rules built in. It cannot be saved without a rent, the listing states that offers above that rent cannot be accepted (Renters’ Rights Act 2025), the EPC rating shows only from an in-date certificate, gas and electrical certificates show only while current, and a checklist covers the material information to include, so the listing page is complete and consistent.

Portals

What about Rightmove and Zoopla?

The big portals only take listings through paid agent accounts, so any tool that promises to “post you to Rightmove” is reselling that access.

We would rather be straight with you: LetCompliance gives you a listing page you own, published on our public to-let listings where search engines can index it, plus everything a portal listing leaves out: the application form, the viewings, the referencing and the signed tenancy.

In practice, plenty of self-managing landlords fill a property from a local Facebook group, the outgoing tenant’s network, and a portal listing bought separately, and run everything from the first enquiry onward right here. The advert is the front of the let; the value is what happens after someone clicks it.

Where to advertise

Where to actually put the advert

You do not need to be everywhere. You need to be where your tenant looks, then run everything after the click in one place. The link LetCompliance gives you works on all of these.

Where to advertise a rental property, and what to know about each channel
WhereWhat to know
LetCompliance homes to letChoose "public listing" on any advert and it appears on our own to-let pages, open to anyone searching for a home. No agency account and no per-listing fee. A tenant clicks straight through to your application link.Browse homes to let
A property portalRightmove and Zoopla reach the most people, but both list homes only from letting agents, so a private landlord pays an agent, online or on the high street, to put the advert there. Buy that reach separately if you want it, paste in the advert text copied from LetCompliance and upload the downloaded photos, then point enquiries at your own application link.
Local Facebook & community groupsArea rental groups and local noticeboards fill a surprising number of lets, especially outside city centres. Your listing link drops straight into a post.
The outgoing tenant’s networkThe people who already know the property and the area. A good tenant often knows the next one. Share the link when you serve notice, not after they leave.
Your own channelsA “to let” sign, a WhatsApp, your own contacts. Every one of them can carry the same link back to the same application inbox.

Waiting list

Keep the tenants you couldn’t house

A good property draws more interest than the one tenancy you are filling. Capture the rest on a waiting list and come back to them for the next void, instead of starting the search cold. This let’s overflow becomes next let’s head start.

Questions

Advertising and finding tenants, answered

How do I advertise my rental property with LetCompliance?

You create the advert against a property you already keep in the app, adding the headline, monthly rent, bedrooms and bathrooms, furnishing, available-from date and up to 12 photos, and it becomes a public page on its own link. Turn on the public listing and, once it has a headline, a rent, a photo and a description, it also appears on our to-let pages, where search engines can index it. You can share the same link wherever your tenants actually are: a local Facebook group, a WhatsApp to the outgoing tenant’s contacts, your own channels. The advert sits on the same property record that then runs the tenancy.

Is there a fee to advertise, or per listing?

No per-listing fee and no per-lead charge. Advertising is part of the 3-day trial and every paid plan, and the plan is priced by how many properties you hold, not how many adverts you run: £7.99 a month for one property, £14.99 for up to three, £19 for up to ten. Re-letting the same home twice in a year, or advertising each room of an HMO separately, costs nothing extra. On a landlord account the same plan collects the rent by Direct Debit into your own Stripe account, with no commission, only Stripe’s Direct Debit fee. Referencing is paid per check: £24.99 for a tenant, £19.99 for a guarantor.

Do you post my advert to Rightmove or Zoopla?

No. Rightmove and Zoopla take listings only from letting agents, so a private landlord who wants to appear there pays an agent, online or on the high street, to place the advert. What LetCompliance gives you is a listing page you own, on its own link and, if you choose, on the LetCompliance to-let pages, plus the application, viewing, referencing and e-signing that a portal listing does not include. If you also pay for a portal listing, the Copy advert text and Download photos buttons give you the rent, the EPC rating, the material information and every photo exactly as saved, so nothing is retyped from memory. The copied text ends with the link to apply, so applicants who follow it land in the same list here.

How do tenants apply?

Your advert has an application link. Interested tenants open it and submit their details directly to you: no account for them to create, no inbox full of half-finished emails. Applications land in one list you can filter, rather than scattered across texts and DMs. When you pick someone, you create the tenancy from their application.

Can I book viewings through it?

Yes. Viewings are booked from an application, so the person you are showing round is already attached to it, and they confirm the time from a link. If you would rather not do the viewings yourself, LetCompliance also offers accompanied viewings as a done-for-you service in parts of the North West. Managing your own viewings is part of the trial and paid plans.

What happens after I choose a tenant?

The run continues without re-keying anything: reference the tenant and any guarantor through a regulated UK credit reference agency, take a holding deposit, then generate the correct tenancy agreement for the current law and have it e-signed with an audit certificate. The advert, the application, the reference and the signed tenancy stay in one account, tied to the same property, and the signed copy can be downloaded again at any time, which is the point of doing it in one place rather than four.

Can I keep a waiting list of interested tenants?

Yes. Demand for a good property usually outstrips the one tenancy you are filling, so you can capture interested people on a waiting list and come back to them for the next void instead of starting the search from scratch. It turns the enquiries you could not house this time into a head start on the next let.

Is my address exposed when I share the advert link?

The advert is a page you control, shared on its own link. A public listing can be indexed by search engines and shows the town and the first half of the postcode, not the full address. Pause it when the property is let, so an old advert does not keep circulating after the tenancy has started.

How long does it take to find a tenant?

It varies with the property, the price and the area far more than with any tool, but the parts you control are the advert and the response. A clear listing with real photos, an honest available-from date and a single application link tends to fill faster because it attracts the right applicants and puts them in one place to compare, instead of a scatter of half-finished messages. The slow version is usually a vague advert and a full inbox; the fast version is a complete advert and one tidy queue.

Can I advertise a single room in an HMO?

Yes. You can advertise a specific room rather than the whole property, which is what house-shares and student HMOs need. Each room carries its own rent in the property, so a six-bed HMO can be advertised room by room and each room let on its own tenancy, rather than tracked in a spreadsheet. When several rooms or homes are empty at once, one link of your own shows every live advert on a single page, ready to drop into a group post or a message.

Do the tenants who apply get referenced automatically?

Applying and referencing are separate steps, on purpose: an application tells you who is interested, and you choose whom to reference rather than paying to check everyone. When you pick someone, you order a credit-backed reference with their name and email filled in, paid per check. The Right to Rent check is recorded separately against the tenancy.
