RentPlace.

Rental marketplace that fills vacancies, priced by the month, not by the listing or the week.

One flat monthly fee for every unit you own, and every inquiry arrives already screened.

Per listing, per 90 days, to upgrade one Zillow listing. No bulk pricing.

Rent lost for every day a $1,800 unit sits empty.
$39
A month on RentPlace, flat, up to five active listings.

A vacant week is billed to you three times

Vacancy is the one cost a landlord can actually control, and it is measured in days of rent rather than in listing fees. The trouble is that the usual ways of filling a unit charge you again for every week the unit stays empty.

$400

to upgrade ten listings for one 90-day window

Visibility is priced per unit

Posting on Zillow Rental Manager is free. Being seen is not: a premium upgrade runs $39.99 per listing for up to 90 days, and Zillow states there is no bulk pricing for multiple premium listings. Ten units means ten separate upgrades, and the upgrade buys position in the results, not a better applicant.

facts a free-classified message never carries

The inbox is unusable

Free classifieds cost nothing to post and everything to manage. Scams, bots and one-line "still available?" messages, with no income, no move-in date, no occupants and no pet details attached. Every showing becomes a coin flip.

$420

one extra vacant week on a $1,800 unit

The days keep running

While you sort that inbox the unit is still empty. A $1,800 unit loses about $60 for every day it sits, which is why one extra week costs more than a year of most listing tools put together.

An apartment marketplace priced by the month, not by the listing

Stop paying per unit to be seen

One subscription covers every active listing in your tier. A unit that takes six weeks to fill costs exactly the same in fees as one that goes in three days.

Flat monthly billing, listings capped by tier, never metered by time.

Inquiries that answer themselves

A renter cannot send "is this still available?" on RentPlace. They answer your screening questions first, and the answers arrive attached to the message.

Move-in date, income band, occupants, pets and lease length, required before send.

Know which unit costs you money

The vacancy board puts every unit in one view with days vacant beside it, so the unit quietly burning rent is the first thing you see rather than the last.

Days vacant per unit, inquiry counts, time-to-lease across the portfolio.

The full list lives on the rental listing website features page.

How it works

List a rental property in four steps

From a vacant unit to structured inquiries in one sitting. No syndication setup and no separate account on every portal.

  1. 01

    Add the unit

    Address, beds and baths, rent, deposit, lease term, availability date, utilities, parking, pets and laundry. The fields are the questions renters ask anyway.

  2. 02

    RentPlace grades it

    The Listing Grader scores the listing, names every must-have fact it is missing, and rewrites the headline and description in the words renters actually search for.

  3. 03

    Set your questions

    Pick the screening questions every applicant on this listing must answer. Save the set as a template and reuse it across the portfolio.

  4. 04

    Inquiries land in one inbox

    Each inquiry arrives with the answers attached and comparable side by side, so you can shortlist before you ever schedule a showing.

See the full walkthrough Open the Listing Grader

Every inquiry, already answered

This is the whole product argument in one screen. A renter cannot reach you with "still available?" because the questions come first and the answers travel with the message.

  • You choose the questions, per listing or from a saved template
  • The same questions go to every applicant on that listing
  • Answers are structured, so applicants compare side by side
  • RentPlace does not run a consumer report or a background check

RentPlace against the alternatives

Three ways to fill a unit, compared on the things that actually decide it: how you are billed, what the fee does when the vacancy runs long, and what lands in your inbox.

Per-listing portals

Free to post, then per listing to be seen

Free classifieds

Per-listing portals

The visibility upgrade expires, so you buy it again

Free classifieds

Unchanged, but you repost constantly

Built to report time-to-lease to the owners you represent

If you run a management company, the person who needs the numbers is not the person posting the listing. RentPlace keeps the inquiry data standard across every agent, so the owner report is comparable.

Rental property management software
Portfolio vacancy in one view
Every unit, days vacant and time-to-lease, grouped by the owner you report to.
Roles and permissions
A leasing agent sees their own properties. The principal sees the whole portfolio.
Audit trail
Who changed a listing, who replied to which inquiry, and when it happened.
Procurement signals
SSO and SAML, SCIM provisioning, a DPA, annual invoicing and ACH.

RentPlace is the listing and inquiry layer. It is not accounting or maintenance software, and it sits alongside whatever your firm already uses for the ledger.

Work out what the vacancy is costing you

We do not publish a claim about how much faster units fill on RentPlace, because we have no data to support one. Type your own rent and your own vacant days instead, and the arithmetic speaks for itself.

The six things landlords ask first

More on the FAQ page, including what an inquiry contains and how listing a room in a shared home works.

How is this different from listing on Zillow?

Posting on Zillow Rental Manager is free, and has been since May 2022, so the honest answer is that the difference is not the listing fee. Zillow's paid layer is a premium upgrade at $39.99 per listing for up to 90 days, priced per unit, and Zillow states it does not offer bulk pricing for multiple premium listings. That fee buys placement in search results, not a better applicant. RentPlace charges one flat monthly fee, $39 for up to five active listings, and spends it on the inbox instead: a renter cannot send "is this still available?" because they answer the inquiry fields and your screening questions before the message sends. Zillow pricing checked September 2026.

Is there a free plan?

No. Every RentPlace plan is paid. Plans start with Landlord at $39 a month, billed monthly, for up to five active listings. The Listing Grader is free without an account, rate limited to a handful of runs an hour per visitor, and that is deliberately the free taste of the product. We would rather tell you there is no free tier now than have you find out after signing up.

What does an inquiry actually look like?

Every inquiry arrives with the same fields filled in: desired move-in date, income band, number of occupants, pets, preferred lease length, and the renter message. You can add up to three screening questions of your own, and every renter answers them before the inquiry sends. Because every applicant answers the same questions, you can export the inquiries to CSV and compare them side by side instead of reading a pile of unstructured messages.

Do I have to sign a contract?

No. The Landlord plan is month to month, or yearly at $19 a month ($228, half the monthly price) if you prefer, and you cancel from your private panel: listings stay up until the paid period ends and you are not charged again.

Do you run the background check?

No. RentPlace collects each applicant's structured answers consistently for every applicant on a listing. It does not perform a consumer report, a credit check or a criminal background check, and nothing on RentPlace is legal advice. Tenant screening is regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act and by state and local fair-housing rules, and your screening criteria must be applied identically to every applicant. If you need a consumer report, use a licensed consumer reporting agency.

What happens after I sign up?

On the List your rental page you enter your details and your first unit, then pay $39 by card on secure checkout. Card details go to our payment processor and never touch RentPlace. The listing goes live on its own public page and your private panel link arrives by email: add up to five active listings, set screening questions, pause units and export inquiries. For more than five units, the Portfolio, Manager and Enterprise plans start from the Get started button on the pricing page.
