Publish a rental listing

Who this is for

Property managers using Lanlord (apps/web) who want a public apply link and optional placement on Listings (/listings on the marketing site).

Steps

1. Open a rental property (strategy = Rental).
2. On the property profile, use the Publish rental card:
   • Details — headline, monthly rent, description, available date.
   • Photos — upload a cover photo on the profile image (runs the image pipeline: WebP + JPEG sizes).
   • Publish — resolve checklist items, then Publish listing.
3. Settings → Listings — enable Show on Lanlord Listings directory and set a public display name.
4. Copy the link from Share listing or open Preview public page (/rent/[token]).

Publish checklist (API-enforced)

• Monthly rent set
• Complete address on the property
• At least one marketing photo (cover upload counts)
• Listing status becomes LIVE (geocode runs best-effort on publish)

Pause and lease

• Pause listing removes the unit from the public directory (share URL returns not found when not LIVE).
• When you create a lease for the property, the listing is marked LEASED automatically.

Renter applications

Applications from /rent/[token] appear under People → Applications with lead source PUBLIC_LISTING or LANLORD_LISTINGS (when directory is enabled).

Demo data

Run pnpm db:seed with LANLORD_SEED_LISTINGS_MEDIA=true (default) to seed vacant rentals with two pipeline photos and LIVE listings for walkthroughs.
