RENTAL LISTING VIDEO
Apartments.com: a listing video for a rental
Apartments.com works differently from the sale portals: landlords and property managers usually create and manage rental listings themselves, and renters often decide which units to visit from the media alone, sometimes from another city. That makes a clear video useful for a rental, but the portal still decides what media it accepts and how it is shown. ListingVideosAI makes a finished video from the photos you have, treating them as photographs in JPEG, PNG or WebP. If you are unsure whether a rental listing fits, ask support@listingvideosai.com before ordering, and check Apartments.com's current rules before you add anything.
ListingVideosAI does not add media to Apartments.com; you manage your rental listing there.
One listing video uses up to 20 photos.

Preparing a rental listing video
- 01
Choose photos renters compare
Renters compare layouts and amenities. After the building exterior, include the living area, kitchen, each bedroom, the bathroom, laundry if in-unit, and shared amenities such as a gym or courtyard.
- 02
Create the listing and upload
Create a listing for the unit and upload up to 20 photos as JPEG, PNG or WebP.
- 03
Confirm and review before adding to the portal
Buy one video or use a credit, check the photos and confirm. The finished video arrives 24 to 72 hours after you send the listing; review it and check Apartments.com's current rules before adding it to your rental listing.
Practical notes for a rental listing video
Rental marketing moves fast and repeats often. These notes help a listing video earn its place.
Show the unit being rented
Use photos of the actual unit, or label a model unit clearly in the listing text if that is what you show. Renters expect the media to match the unit.
Include shared amenities
Pools, gyms, parking and courtyards often decide a renter's shortlist. Include them if they are part of the lease.
Reuse with care
If a unit is relisted later, check that the photos still match its condition before reusing the video.
Describe the property, not the renter
Fair housing rules apply to rentals. Describe features, not who should live there.
Check the portal's rules
Apartments.com sets its own media rules and options, which can differ by listing type. Check current guidance before adding video.

What is an Apartments.com listing video?
An Apartments.com listing video is property video media added to a rental listing on Apartments.com by the landlord or property manager, under the portal's rules. ListingVideosAI makes a finished video from the rental's photos, which you review and decide how to use.
It is not a leasing service. ListingVideosAI makes the finished video only and does not handle applications, showings or the portal listing.
Apartments.com questions
Will Apartments.com accept the finished video?
That is the portal's decision under its current rules, and it is not promised. For a specific format need, contact support@listingvideosai.com before ordering.
Can I order a video for a rental unit?
The video is made from photographs in JPEG, PNG or WebP. If you are unsure whether a rental listing fits, ask support@listingvideosai.com before ordering.
Should I show a model unit in the video?
Only if the listing makes clear the photos show a similar unit. Renters expect media to represent what they will rent.

No. You manage your rental listing and decide whether to add the finished video.
Is there a plan for property managers with many units?
