What content is required for publication of my listing?

When you sign up with Stay and begin the process of listing your property, the wizard will guide you through what should be included in your listing. For guidelines regarding content that is not permitted and should not be included in your listing, please refer to the Content Policy. Please note, in all circumstances, you are responsible for knowing and abiding by our policies and standards, as well as your local laws, before listing a property.

What are the photo guidelines?

When adding photos to your listing, quality and quantity are both important. Use a high quality camera so that you are able to get vibrant, high resolution images. Using a wide angle lens, or taking panoramic shots are great ways to highlight the best features of your property. Renters typically prefer to see more photos so that they are able to get a clear idea of what a property looks like and how it is laid out, so be sure to include multiple angles and photos of spaces within the property. When uploading photos, make sure they are at least 1024 by 683 to ensure clarity, and not more than 20mb in size. Also note, that since photos are shown in landscape mode in search results, vertical photos will not show up well.

Can I control who rents my home?
