I receive few or no rental enquiries

Not receiving any rental enquiries?

If you haven't received any enquiries for a while, several factors can influence your listing's visibility. Here are our tips to increase your chances of getting new enquiries 👇

1️⃣ Update your listing regularly

The quality of your listing is essential for good ranking in search results. The closer your quality score is to 100%, the more your listing is promoted.

Check that all sections of your listing are complete (no exclamation marks). Roomlala sometimes adds new fields: remember to check regularly!

2️⃣ Check that your listing is active

Make sure your listing displays the status “Active”.
To check:
- Go to your personal area.
- Click on the “Host area” tab.
- If the listing appears deactivated, click on the green “Activate” button.

3️⃣ Update your calendar

An up-to-date calendar allows your listing to rank higher in results.
To update it:
- Go to your listing's edit page.
- Click on the “Calendar” section.
- Check your dates then click on “My calendar is up to date”.

4️⃣ Review rental durations

Avoid imposing an overly restrictive minimum or maximum duration (e.g., 3 months minimum). This significantly reduces enquiries.
Many tenants prefer to start with a short duration, then extend if everything goes well 🙂
And don't forget: you can always decline an enquiry without being penalised.

5️⃣ Add photos and a video

Make sure you have at least 4 photos and, if possible, a short video of the accommodation or room. This considerably boosts your listing's visibility.

6️⃣ Set a fair price

If you're unsure about the price, start by performing a search on Roomlala to compare prices of nearby accommodation. Then adjust your prices according to the market.

🙌 Roomlala's tip

For new hosts, it's advisable to offer slightly lower prices than the market initially. This will help you to:
- Get your first satisfied tenant
- Receive a positive review
- Improve your listing's visibility
- And easily increase your prices later 🚀
