Licence number

Licence number refers to the property registration number. It needs to be provided if the property is located in a jurisdiction where registration is required. Bear in mind that it is a highly important part of your property's data. Providing this information in an incorrect format or skipping it if mandatory will result in the channel blocking your listing from going live. To avoid errors, bear in mind the following recommendations:

  • ensure that all channel-required information are provided in Legal information section in Rentals United

  • ensure that the licence number is exactly the same as issued by the government

  • ensure that the licence format is correctly provided to Rentals United

  • licence issue and expiry dates can be provided separately by selecting relevant options in Rentals United (Licence issue date and Licence expiry date)

Note: If legal information is not synchronised from your PMS, make sure that you provide it directly in Rentals United.
