Questions landlords ask
What does the Rental Listing cost?
$399, once. You pay it after you sign the rental listing agreement, by card or Zelle, and nothing is due when the lease is signed.
How long does my rental stay on the MLS?
Until it's rented. Your listing goes to Zillow, Redfin, Realtor.com and more than 100 other sites, the same way any other rental listing does.
Who shows the home?
You do, and inquiries come straight to you. If you'd rather not, hosted showings are $95 each: a licensed agent lets renters in. You can also have a lockbox.
Do you choose the tenant or write the lease?
You choose your tenant and sign the lease. The Rental Listing includes the Maryland and DC rental forms and a basic review of your lease. If you'd like more help choosing a tenant, ask Aya.
Do I need a rental license?
Usually, yes. Montgomery County and Prince George's County require a rental license, and Washington, DC requires a Basic Business License to rent out a home. Some cities have rules of their own, so check before you list.
My home was built before 1978. Is there anything else?
Yes, in Maryland. A rental home built before 1978 must be registered with the Maryland Department of the Environment, and it must pass a lead dust inspection before each new tenant moves in.
Can I turn down a tenant who pays with a housing voucher?
In Maryland and DC, landlords can't turn away a tenant because they pay with a housing voucher or another lawful source of income.
Why do you check my ID?
Rental scams usually start with someone listing a home they don't own. A quick ID check with Stripe, about two minutes on your phone, protects you, your home and the people who answer your listing. Your ID photos stay with Stripe; they aren't stored on this website.
