List a Rental Property
This guide does not submit or publish a rental listing. Detroit owners should first verify ownership, rental registration, inspection, lead, and certificate-of-compliance obligations, then prepare accurate terms and a fair-housing-compliant inquiry process before using an authorized listing channel.

List a Rental
Submit the property details for review. This form creates an internal intake record; it does not publish a listing automatically.01
Confirm the property can be offered as a rental
Use the City of Detroit's current rental resources to determine registration, inspection, lead, certificate, permit, and property-maintenance steps for the address and building type. Rules and submission systems change, so follow the current city workflow rather than an old guide.
Resolve ownership, management authority, zoning, occupancy, utilities, code violations, repairs, insurance, and association restrictions before marketing. A submitted registration or scheduled inspection is not the same as a completed compliance record.
02
Create accurate property and lease terms
Describe the unit, address, rent, deposit, included utilities, lease term, availability, occupancy terms, accessibility features, parking, pets, smoking policy, application process, fees, and responsible contact accurately. Use current photos and disclose material limitations through the appropriate process.
Obtain qualified guidance for the lease, notices, deposits, screening, repairs, entry, and local or state obligations. Rebuild Detroit does not provide a universal lease or determine whether a particular term is lawful or enforceable.
03
Use consistent fair-housing and screening procedures
Housing advertising, inquiries, applications, and tenant selection must follow applicable fair-housing requirements. Publish objective property and qualification information, apply written criteria consistently, and provide required notices. Do not state a preference based on protected characteristics.
Collect only necessary applicant information through a secure, authorized process. Explain screening, fees, consent, criteria, and decision communications. Verify identity and guard against fake applications, altered reports, overpayment, and requests to return funds.
04
Publish through a verified channel and maintain status
Choose a listing service or management workflow after reviewing identity checks, fees, syndication, application handling, privacy, accessibility, updates, and removal. Keep availability and terms current. Remove a listing when the property is no longer offered.
Rebuild Detroit does not currently accept or publish a rental from this guide page, register the property, screen tenants, hold deposits, or guarantee occupancy. Use the official city sources below and the site's actual authorized rental workflow when available.
