If you're a landlord in Singapore, here's the hard truth: your property is competing with thousands of others on every property marketplace. Renters swipe through listings like they're on Tinder which means you’ve got about three seconds to impress.
Whether you own a studio apartment, HDB flat, or a landed property, it's time to stop "just listing" your unit and start marketing it like a product. And lucky for you, Rently makes that insanely easy (and free).
Let’s break it down.
🎯 Step One: Get On the Right Rental Marketplace
First things first: your listing needs to exist where the right people are looking. That’s where Rently comes in.
Here’s what landlords get 100% free when they list a property on Rently.sg:
🆓 Free Property Listings
No listing fees, no hidden charges. Just upload and go. (Yes, really.)
🧠 Tenant Vetting Done for You
Our team filters out the flaky ones. You only get pre-qualified, verified tenants.
📝 Automated Contracts
Digital lease agreements that are clear, secure, and legally solid.
💸 Automated Rent Collection
No more awkward texts asking for late rent. We help you collect rent online, on time.
🛡️ Complimentary Landlord Insurance
Protect your property without paying extra, because accidents (and weird tenants) happen.
Rently isn’t just a rental platform, it’s a property management solution for the new generation of landlords.
📸 Step Two: Make Your Listing Look Like a Condo Ad, Not a Crime Scene
Even the best landlord app can’t save a listing with blurry photos and vague descriptions. So here’s how to get that swipe-right energy.
✅ 1. Use Good Photos (No, Not Ones from 2009)
Shoot in natural light. Open the curtains.
Clean up. No one wants to see your tenant’s underwear drying in the background.
Frame wide shots for each room. Highlight selling points: balcony, storage, ensuite bathroom, etc.
Bonus: If your property has a pool, even if it’s shared, lead with that photo. Singaporeans love a splash.
✅ 2. Write Clear, Honest Descriptions
This is not the place for poetry.
Instead of saying:
“Cozy unit in a vibrant locale”
Try:
“Fully furnished 1-bedroom condo, 5 min walk from Novena MRT. Available from August. Comes with WiFi, washer-dryer, and full kitchen.”
Keywords help too; sprinkle in phrases like “whole unit for rent in Singapore”, “studio apartment for rent”, or “HDB flat for rent” naturally. Search engines love it, and so do humans.
🛋️ Step Three: Sell the Lifestyle, Not Just the Square Footage
Tenants don’t just rent properties. They rent convenience, comfort, and a story.
Got a great view of Marina Bay? Flex it.
Is the unit pet-friendly or has space to WFH? Mention it.
Close to the best prata in the East? You’re legally obligated to say so (okay, not really but you should).
Position your property as part of a life upgrade, not just a place to sleep.
📈 Why This Matters (AKA: How You Get Paid Faster)
Doing this well leads to:
More inquiries
Better tenants
Shorter vacancies
Higher rental yield
And when you combine that with Rently’s built-in automation like digital lease agreements, rent collection, and property analytics you’re not just marketing better, you’re landlording smarter.
