Maximum number of guests

Maximum number of guests denotes the maximum capacity of the property. It is often compared against the number of beds available in the property and may limit the LOS pricing variants.

 

Floor number

Floor number provides information about the building level the property is located on.

 

Property size

Property size denotes the size of the property, provided either in square meters (m2) or square feet (sqft).

 

Address

Address constitutes a part of the location data and consists of several elements which denote the detailed location of the property.

 

Geo-coordinates

Geo-coordinates refer to the position on the Earth, so that the property location is precisely indicated. Geo-coordinates consist of longitude and latitude. In Rentals United, they constitute a part of the location data.

 

Licence number

Licence numbers are property registration numbers required by local governments in specific jurisdictions. Providing an accurate license number is a critical part of your property data. Skipping this step or entering an incorrect format when registration is mandatory results in the booking channel blocking your listing.

Local regulations change frequently. To keep your listings active, stay updated on your local legislation and fill in all license-related fields in the Legal information section of your listing. Follow these guidelines to avoid listing rejection:

  • Match the license number format exactly to the one issued by government.

  • Ensure that all channel-required details are provided.

  • Ensure that the format is correct and doesn't have any typos.

Licence requirements are very dynamic and change depending on your country's legislation. Hence, this document may be subject to change. It is highly recommended that you keep track of your local regulations and provide as many licence-related fields as possible.
