Help on publishing or searching for ads

By posting an advert, you agree to the following Terms of Use:

1. You can only post 1 ad per accommodation. Repeated ads will be deleted.
2. Ads should be referred to a single accommodation. The generic ads, with no description, or that promote several homes at once will be deleted.
3. Description of the ad can not have contact details, including phone, e-mail, skype or external URLs. These data types have their own space within the tab of the ad and your user profile.
4. Images that are not related to housing published are not accepted.
5. Respect the categories. For example, if you want to rent a room, you must publish the ad in 'Rooms for rent shared flat', not 'rental housing'. Proper use of categories is critical to success of your ad.
6. When you register, you must provide a valid phone number. The phone number is important to verify the identity, and helps prevent Internet fraud.
7. Write the address and postcode of the house properly (eg. Almond Street 5, CP 30099), and locate your property on the map. Ads that do not follow these guidelines may be disabled.
8. Indicate the real price of your home or property, whether for sale or rent.
9. You can translate your ad for free in 16 languages with our instant translation tool. Just make sure that each language is in its corresponding box. Ads that do not respect the areas for each language can be disabled.
10. The ads must be published in the user's home country. If you wish to post an ad for a home or accommodation in a country different from your residence, you should contact us first. This step helps us to prevent fraud, so we ask for your patience.
