Help centre: Finding a tenant

How do I advertise a property to let?

Create an advert from Adverts. You get a shareable listing page with an Apply button, the material information checklist that agents are required to complete, and a live compliance badge drawn from the property’s real certificate dates.

Two ways to use it

Share the link yourself, on a portal, in a local group, or to people already on your waiting list. Or opt the advert in to the public listings so it appears on the site. Copy advert text and Download photos give you everything to post it elsewhere, with the apply link in the text.

The rent and the EPC rating

Every advert states the rent, and the listing says offers above it cannot be accepted, because since 1 May 2026 an advert must state a specific rent and a landlord must not invite or accept a higher offer (Renters’ Rights Act 2025, section 56). The EPC rating is shown from the property’s compliance record, because a rental advert must state it (Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations 2012, regulation 11).

The compliance badge

The badge on the advert reads the property’s actual certificate dates. It is not a claim you type in, which is the point: it cannot say the gas certificate is current when it expired last month.

Material information

Adverts carry the material information checklist: council tax band, deposit, heating, broadband, parking, water, mobile signal, building safety, flood risk and any restrictions, the facts a listing is expected to disclose up front. Filling it in once beats answering the same questions in twenty separate messages.

The PRS Database, in an agency workspace

Each advert shows the property’s PRS Database status. Once the registration period has started in the property’s region and no registration or exemption is recorded, the advert form says when the period started and the date a let property there must be registered by, and links to the property’s PRS page and to GOV.UK’s guidance. It never stops the advert being published.

Broadband and the flood zone, found for the property

Above the material information, the advert form offers what it finds for the property, in your own account and in an agency workspace: Ofcom’s predicted broadband speed, where Ofcom has one for the address, and the Environment Agency flood zone at the postcode’s central point, where that point is known. Each goes into the advert only when you add it. The listing shows the broadband line with Ofcom’s logo and Ofcom’s own text, and the property’s Overview tab shows the same prediction.

What happens when somebody gets in touch

The listing has two buttons. Apply to rent takes a full application; Request a viewing takes a name, email, phone and a message. Both arrive in Applications as structured records rather than as an inbox you have to triage.
