| Q. |
One of my tenants is moving out. As the landlord how much does
it cost to post my rental property on RentalEarth.com? |
| A. |
It is absolutely free of charge to post up to 10 pictures
of your rental property on-line on RentalEarth.com. The best thing is once your
vacancy is filled, simply check the "rented" box to remove it from the active
listings and your account can stay accessible until you need it again. Post as
many of your properties as you wish, including daily, weekly or monthly
vacation rentals. Follow this link to Get

| Q. |
What is the benefit to advertising my rental property on the
Internet? |
| A. |
Exposure!! Conventional advertising is expensive and one wants
to reach the greatest number of potential tenants, for the longest duration
possible, for the lowest price possible. By advertising a rental property on
the internet, thousands of prospective tenants can view your property at their
leisure, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It can ensure your valuable time is
spent talking with only the most serious of potential tenants, without having
to arrange a showing every time someone expresses interest. Advertising on the
Internet also allows prospective tenants moving from within the district,
province, Canada wide and/or Internationally to find & view your property
before they actually step foot in your city.

|
| Q. |
How does my property get exposure on RentalEarth.com? |
| A. |
The main RentalEarth.com website is advertised in many regional newspapers and
trade shows and search engines. Additionally, all rental properties are
redirected from the "Rental Properties" button on
www.NoRealtyFee.com which is a high traffic FSBO web
service receiving thousands of daily hits and hundreds of thousands of
pageviews every single day. Furthermore, all RentalEarth ads are assigned a
unique listing number for you to target your own market. For example post an
inexpensive 15 word Ad in your local classifieds directing potential
tenants to your "Beautiful 3 bedroom lakefront cottage for rent view at
www.rentalearth.com Site# 2111" where they can find pictures, and
a thousand word write-up. Add a map link that generates driving instructions,
and detailed contact information and its all over but the signing. We provide a
cost effective tool for maximizing exposure, ensuring the most detail possible
of your rental property is available to as many prospective tenants as
possible. How much better can it get then that?? |
|
| Q. |
Do I need a computer to list my rental property on
RentalEarth.com |
| A. |
No, not at all. Only the potential tenants require computer
access. A landlord who does not have access to a computer can rely on a friend
or family member to publish your property or send us the information and we'll
do it for you. Just contact webmaster@rentalearth.com
|
|
| Q. |
Is RentalEarth.Com
involved in any part of the actual rental transaction? |
| A. |
No! We provide the exposure by attracting people through
various means, including multiple newspaper advertisements in various locals,
participation in local tradeshows, direct marketing, brochures and professional
signage. Potential tenants will contact you directly. |
|
|
Q.
|
I am a prospective tenant. How do I contact the
owner? |
|
A.
|
All rental advertisements
provide the telephone number of the landlords/property managers with most
including a link to send an e-mail inquiry. However you choose to communicate,
the listings enable you to directly contact someone who knows about the
property and can answer specific questions for you, that may not have been
covered by the pictures and on-line description.
|
|
| Q. |
As a tenant, how do I know the rentals posted are legitimate? |
| A. |
The online service we provide for tenants or vacationers is
comparable to that offered by a newspaper or magazine through which vacation or
rental properties are advertised with information provided by the customer. Our
recommendation is that you request references and a list of past renters from
the landlords. If possible, it is also suggested that you visit the property in
advance.
|
|
| Q. |
How do I make a booking on a cabin rental? |
| A. |
Individual property owners have their own way of conducting a
rental. When making the rental reservation, make sure you have covered your
arrival and departure dates, number of adults and children, any pets you want
to bring along, and any special needs that you might have. To ensure that
details of the rental are communicated, a clearly written rental agreement or
lease is recommended. As a legally binding contract, the rental agreement or
lease should include defined arrival and departure dates, payment schedules,
detailed instructions, and terms and conditions related to cancellations and
refunds. |
|
| Q. |
If my city is not listed on the website, can I still sign up?
|
| A. |
Yes, you can add new cities during the self-publish process. Its as simple as
an extra 30 seconds.
|
|
| Q. |
If I dont have any pictures of my rental property, can I still sign up?
|
| A. |
Yes definitely! The main idea is to start getting exposure immediately, so it
is to your benefit to get information regarding availability of your property
on-line as soon as possible. Although eventually including a picture may be
desirable, pictures are by no means required, especially to get started. You
can add or change pictures at anytime even once it's posted.
