  7. Landlords / Room Adverts


  8. Landlord Adverts go live on to the website once posted. No payment is required to post an advert on RoomsForLet but must be activated in order to contact potential Tenants or respond to any Enquiries or Messages.
  9. Landlord adverts are activated upon receipt of payment via PayPal or card payment. There are a number of activation options available:

    1. Initial Purchase Offer- First advert for just £9.95 for one month - normal price £20
    2. Once you have utilised the options above there are 2 standard priced options available:
      • 1 month - £20
        Advertise a spare room or single property for one month for £20. At the end of the month you will also receive the option of renewing free of charge for a further 1 month which must be activated within 7 days of the original expiry date..
      • Multiple adverts purchased for 12 months starting at 5 adverts for £60.
        This option is ideal for letting businesses or those with a number of rooms or properties.

      Multiple Adverts
      • Prices for Multiple advert purchases can be viewed during the activation process and are dependent on the number of adverts selected.
      • Multiple adverts will last for 1 year (365 days) from date of purchase. Multiple adverts purchased at the same time will all expire on the same date regardless of the date the advert is actually added to the account.
      • All adverts are activated only when relevant payment has been made and will automatically deactivate on the expiry date if no renewal has been made.
        In effect you are purchasing advert credits for one year for the number of adverts selected.
  10. There is a Free renewal option for £20 adverts, if you purchase an advert you receive a one-off free renewal option for the same period of time as that purchased (additional 1 month free of charge).

  11. Tenants / Looking for a Room

  12. Individuals looking for available Rooms or Property are classed by us as 'Tenants'
  13. Tenants may register with us in order to make an enquiry on available rooms or properties or contact relevant Landlords
  14. Where a Tenant registers with Us, this information will be passed to relevant landlords where the details match Room or Property criteria
  15. Tenants registering with Us can contact any Landlord registered with Us via the Website system. However, properties added by a Landlord may not have been activated yet may still be available. In such a case, only limited information is sent to the Landlord who would then need to activate an Advert in order to receive full details of said Enquiry. Alternatively, there is a 'Full Access' option available to Tenants in order for them to send full enquiry details to relevant Landlords and also receive contact details of Landlords when enquiring on inactive adverts.

    13.1 'Full Access' relates only to the details of Rooms For Let Landlords on the Website system.

    13.2 Where a Property or Room Wanted advert re-directs to a third party service such as Easyroommate or Roomgo, these are not classed as 'Our' Landlords or Members. We do not have access to any contact information relating to these adverts and therefore cannot provide any details. Such data is not included in any paid offerings or 'Full Access'.

    13.3 Where a Full Access payment is made no refund will be issued regardless of the success or otherwise of any enquiry to an advert.
