Rental Licence Number
Do I need to add a Rental Licence Number to my listing and how do I do it?
Many local authorities now require property managers to apply for a Rental Licence Number in order to be allowed to rent out their property. In many cases, this is a legal requirement for renting and must be displayed on the listing on sales channels.
Sales channels are not allowed to publish your listings without this information. This means you will not be able to publish your listing online or receive bookings until you have added your licence number.
How do I add my licence number?

Log into Your.Rentals and go to your listings page

-

-
Publish your listing
-
Repeat this process for all of your listings

If you have more than one listing for a property with the same Rental Licence Number, you should enter the details on each listing.
Additional Compliance Requirements
In addition to the rental license number, many local authorities require property managers to display compliance details like CIN (Italy) or cadastral number (Spain), etc. to legally rent out properties. Sales channels such as Airbnb and Expedia also enforce these rules, requiring compliance information before publishing listings. Learn more about adding Channel Compliance.
