What should I include in my renter profile to attract landlords?

By RentMe Editorial Team · Published November 9, 2026

Short answer

Include the details a landlord needs to say yes: where and when you want to move, your maximum budget, who is moving in, pets, parking and storage needs, and your annual household income — plus a verified phone number. A complete, honest profile gets far more attention than a bare inquiry.

The essentials

Preferred cities or neighbourhoods.
Maximum monthly budget.
Bedrooms needed.
Move-in date, or a window if flexible.
Name, email and phone number.

Details that build trust

Household size — how many adults and children.
Pets, with type and number.
Parking and storage needs.
Annual household income, so affordability is clear.
A verified phone number.

Being upfront about pets or parking saves everyone time and shows you are honest — landlords prefer that to surprises at the viewing.

How the RentMe profile score works

On RentMe, your profile shows a completion percentage. Answering the request questions gets you to 50%, verifying your phone adds 20%, adding your income adds 20%, and pets, parking, storage and household size make up the rest. Property managers see a green “phone verified” badge on verified requests.

Keep it accurate

Only share information you are comfortable with and can back up later with documents. Your full contact details stay hidden until a property manager unlocks your request.
