Schedule and manage viewings

For hosts: set your availability

Open Manage, find the listing, and tap Manage Schedule. This opens the listing's Available Viewing Slots tab: switch on the weekdays you can show the place and set a From and To time for each (9:00 AM to 5:00 PM by default). Renters only see and book inside these windows. Switch on Sync with Google Calendar so bookings land in your calendar and busy times are hidden automatically.

For renters: book a slot

In the conversation about the listing tap Schedule a Viewing in the header. Pick a date and one of the available times, add a note, and send. The host gets a Viewing Request. Until they answer, the header shows the pending request; when they accept you see Viewing Confirmed with the date and time, and it appears under Explore, Properties, Applications & Viewings.

Accepting, declining, rescheduling

Hosts see requests under Manage, Requests, Viewing with the renter's profile and the requested time, and Accept or Decline. Either side can propose a new time: the other person sees "New time proposed" and taps Accept time or suggests another. Cancel from the same place if plans change; the other side is notified.

Before the viewing (renters)

• Confirm the day before with a short message.
• Bring an ID; hosts may want to see who they are meeting.
• Check what photos hide: light at that hour, street noise, water pressure, the bathroom.
• Ask about utilities, heating cost, deposit, minimum lease, and who to call when something breaks.

After the viewing

Interested? Say so in the chat the same day and tap Apply for Apartment. Not interested? A one-line thank-you is polite and takes ten seconds.
