Letting property

Properties and units

An address, then what you let in it: the whole place, rooms, or beds. Or import a sheet.

This page has no sections.

JourneyStead splits what you let into two things:

  • A property is the address.
  • A unit is what one tenant rents: the whole place, a room, or a bed in a shared room.

A residence with forty rooms is one property and forty units, and can be one listing.

Adding a property

Open Properties

Choose Properties in your organisation’s menu, then add one.

Describe it

Give its name, what kind of property it is, and where it is: the town, province and street. You can place a pin on the map by searching an address, dropping the pin yourself, or typing its coordinates.

Add what you let in it

Property saved, now add what you let here: the whole place, its rooms, or its beds.

The street address stays private

The street address is never shown on a public listing. People see the suburb and the pin. Place the pin in the right spot on the map.

Adding units

A unit has a name, a kind (whole place, room or bed), and its details: bedrooms, bathrooms, how many people it sleeps, and whether the bathroom is shared.

Adding several alike? Enter how many and they are numbered for you: Room 1, Room 2, and so on.

A bed belongs to a room. Shared rooms are made as a room with beds inside it.

Adding many at once

If you already keep a list in a spreadsheet, import it from Properties → Import.

Download the template

Or use your own sheet with the same column names. CSV or Excel (.xlsx), up to 2 MB and 500 rows.

Fill it in

Write one row for each room, bed or whole place. Rows with the same property name become one property. Columns marked with a star are needed on every row. A new property also needs its type, town and province on one of its rows.

Check the file

Nothing is saved yet. Every problem is listed by row.

Import it

If any row has a problem, nothing is imported. Fix those rows in your spreadsheet and check it again.

The property type is one of: house, apartment block, townhouse complex, student residence, backyard rooms or other. The province can be its short code, such as FS or GP, or its name.

Removing a property

A property with listings cannot be removed until its listings are archived.
