Letting on JourneyStead starts with an organisation: the business you let under. If it is only you, your own name is fine. You can invite a team later.

Setting it up

Create the account, or start from the one you have

If you are new, choose I let property when you create your account. If you already have an account, open the menu and choose Start letting property. The new business uses the account you already have.

Name your business and say what kind it is

Tenants see this name. Choose the kind that fits:

  • I let property I own.
  • Agency: I let or manage for owners.
  • Company letting its own property.
  • University, college or employer.

Accept the landlord agreement

It is part of the terms, and you accept it when you create the business.

You can set up the business before your email and phone are confirmed. You need both confirmed before you publish a listing.

Get your first listing live

When you open your organisation, Get your first listing live lists the steps, in order, and ticks each one off as soon as it is done:

  1. Confirm your email address.
  2. Confirm your phone number.
  3. Add your organisation’s contact email and phone. Tenants see these once you have replied to them.
  4. Add your first property.
  5. Add its units.
  6. Submit your first listing.
  7. Have it approved and live.

Your privacy and theirs

People searching see a suburb and a pin, never your street address. They get the address when they book a viewing, and your contact details once you have replied to them.

Your organisation’s page

Organisation in the menu is what tenants and your team see about your letting business: its name, kind, contact email and phone, and its logo. It also shows whether you are Verified, or Not verified yet, and how long you have been on JourneyStead.

A verified badge appears on every one of your listings, and renters notice it.
