--- title: "Apartments.com Rental Listing Videos | ListingVideosAI" url: https://www.listingvideosai.com/listing-videos/platforms/apartments-com/ last_updated: 2026-10-13 --- # 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.

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. 2. **Create the listing and upload** Create a listing for the unit and upload up to 20 photos as JPEG, PNG or WebP. 3. **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 to know about rental listings on Apartments.com - **Landlords manage their own listings**: On Apartments.com, property managers and landlords usually create and manage rental listings directly. - **Renters decide from media**: Many renters shortlist units from photos and video before arranging a visit, especially when moving from another city. - **Fair housing covers rentals**: Fair housing rules apply to rental advertising as they do to sales. - **The portal sets media rules**: Apartments.com decides what media it displays and how. - **Input scope**: Send rental photos as photographs: JPEG, PNG or WebP, up to 20 per video. - **Ask before ordering if unsure**: For a format or platform requirement, contact support@listingvideosai.com before ordering. ## Rental listing photo choices | Photo | What renters learn | Include? | |---|---|---| | Building exterior | Where they would live | Yes | | Living area and kitchen | Daily layout | Yes | | Each bedroom | Room sizes | Yes | | In-unit laundry | A key amenity | If present | | Shared amenities | What the lease includes | If included | | Model unit photos | A similar unit, not this one | Only if labeled clearly | ## What is an Apartments.com listing video?

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?

If you are unsure whether a rental listing fits, ask support@listingvideosai.com before ordering. ### Should I show a model unit in the video?
