Step 1: Basic info

The maximum length of the Property name field in Rentals United is 150 characters, yet for the best performance Rentals United recommends providing a name of approximately 70 characters.

By default, from October 2021, all new clients will have the Property name imported to Rentals United from the Listing Headline element. The clients who started working with Rentals United before will have the Property name field filled with the information from the Home name element. Note that it is possible to request Listing Headline to be used.
