If you're wondering how to list your property for free without paying brokerage fees or dealing with unreliable enquiries, FlatmatesHub is built specifically to solve that problem for property owners across India. This guide walks through exactly how the process works, from creating your account to receiving your first verified tenant enquiry.
Why List on FlatmatesHub
Traditional listing channels often come with brokerage fees, unverified leads, and endless spam calls that eat up your time without producing serious tenants. FlatmatesHub was designed around three core promises to owners: free property listing with zero brokerage, KYC-verified users on both sides of the transaction, and in-app messaging that keeps your contact details private until you're ready to share them.
Why it matters: Zero brokerage and KYC-verified tenant profiles mean you spend less time filtering out spam enquiries and more time speaking with people who are genuinely ready to move in.
Step-by-Step: Creating Your Listing
Getting your property listed takes just a few straightforward steps:
- Create your FlatmatesHub account and complete your own KYC verification as an owner
- Go to your dashboard and select "Create Property Listing"
- Enter your property details — address, room type, rent, deposit, and availability date
- Upload clear, well-lit photos of the room, bathroom, kitchen, and common areas
- Write a detailed, honest description covering amenities, flatmate situation, and nearby landmarks
- List all included amenities explicitly, from Wi-Fi to parking to power backup
- Review and publish — your listing goes live and becomes visible to verified tenants searching in your area
Tips for a Stronger Listing From Day One
A few small choices at the listing stage make a big difference in how quickly you get quality enquiries:
- Price competitively based on comparable listings in your neighbourhood
- Use multiple photos rather than just one or two
- Be specific about the flatmate profile you're looking for, if relevant
- Respond promptly to early enquiries — fast responses tend to convert better
Managing Enquiries Through In-App Messaging
Once your listing is live, interested tenants can reach out directly through FlatmatesHub's in-app messaging system. This keeps the conversation organized in one place, protects your personal phone number until you choose to share it, and gives you a clear record of every conversation. You can ask screening questions, share additional photos, and schedule viewings all within the same thread.
Pro tip: Keep your listing details updated — if the availability date changes or the room gets rented, update or pause your listing promptly so you don't waste time on enquiries for a room that's no longer available.
What Happens After You Find a Tenant
Once you've screened and selected a tenant through verified profiles and in-app conversations, you can move forward with a formal agreement, arrange the move-in, and set up ongoing rent tracking. Because FlatmatesHub supports direct peer-to-peer rent and expense payments, you retain full control over how money moves between you and your tenant, with no platform fees eating into your rental income.
Listing your property doesn't need to be complicated, expensive, or full of unreliable leads. With free listings, verified users, and tools built specifically for owners, FlatmatesHub makes the entire process — from first listing to first rent payment — considerably smoother.
