What to Include in a Property Listing

• Type — house, flat, room, villa, shop or land — and whether it is for rent or sale.
• Monthly rent and security deposit (or the sale price).
• Bedrooms, bathrooms, built-up area and furnishing.
• Locality, nearby landmarks (bus stop, school, hospital) and parking.
• Availability date, who it suits (family, bachelors, company lease) and any rules.

Photos That Fill Vacancies Faster

• Shoot in daylight after cleaning; open curtains and switch on lights.
• Cover the living room, each bedroom, kitchen, bathrooms, balcony and the building exterior.
• Add a photo of the access road or gate so tenants know the location.

Rent and Deposit

Check comparable listings in the properties section for your locality and size. Deposit norms in Kerala are commonly several months of rent; agree the amount, the refund conditions and the notice period in writing.

List It on Aioby

1. Sign in or create a free Aioby account — no store is needed to list as an individual.
2. Add a listing and pick the listing type.
3. Choose Property, then upload clear photos, add the title, price, location and details.

Screen Tenants and Protect Yourself

• Meet the tenant, ask for ID, employment or student proof and a previous landlord reference.
• Sign a written rental agreement (commonly for 11 months) and keep signed copies.
• Record meter readings and take a handover photo set.
• Collect the deposit by bank transfer and give a receipt.

Costs

Every listing is free. If you want more visibility, a Featured Boost for a listing costs ₹5 for 7 days, ₹15 for 30 days or ₹99 for 365 days (launch prices; renewal is always opt-in).

For a property, a listing Boost helps in busy areas like Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram.

This is general guidance, not legal advice; confirm agreement and registration requirements with a local advocate.
