Any enquiries will be sent using the enquiry form which will be sent directly to the email address which you gave us at the time of creating your account. If you need to change any of your personal details or would like your password changed to one of your choice, at a later date, please email us, and we will amend them for you.
ADDING YOUR LISTINGS

Add your contact details, remember to add your telephone numbers and any other contact information. We will instantly email you a copy of your username and password to log into your LetsRent2Me user account for your records. This email will contain a link which you must visit to activate your new account.
If you accidentally forget your user account password you can request a reminder of this by clicking on 'Owners Login' area on the menu at the left hand side of our website, underneath the login area, you will see a link for lost/forgotten password, click on this to send another to you immediately. It doesn't matter how many times you forget it, you can alway get another one sent to you from here.
Step 2
When your account is activated, log into your account by clicking on the 'Owners Login' button , using the username (your email address) and password sent to you when you first created your account. Once you have logged in ok, you will be in the 'Manage Listings Area'
To create a new listing, simply click on the 'add new property listing' blue link which will take you to our easy online property questionnaire listing template. Complete this listing form using the check boxes and free text areas. Some of the text areas relate to properties for sale, so please ignore any text areas which are not relevant to your rental property. The form can be used to add holiday rentals, long term rentals or properties for sale. Please do not enter your personal email address in the text area of the listing, as spambots do crawl through websites to harvest email addresses which are visible and this can result in you receiving unnecessary spam mail. Our template will logout after 24 minutes for security reasons, it is therefore best to save your text every now and again by clicking on the 'submit' button' at the top/bottom of the page. if you think you will be longer than 24 minutes. When you are happy with your text details, don't forget to click on the 'submit' button there are 2 located at the top & bottom of the template to save all your work. These details will appear on your listing screen which you can access by clicking on the blue link 'back to property listing area underneath the 'Manage Property Listings' title at the top of the template. This will then take you back to the 'Manage Property Listings' area. You should now be able to see your property listings which should now have an 'Edit Images' link to the right of it.
Step3
To add your photos, click on the 'Edit Images' link which will take you to the 'Manage Property Listings' area. You can upload photographs up to 2096 kilobytes in jpg format. Please remember to use your main photograph as the first image that you upload, as this is the photo which the search engine will use to list your property. To find your photos on your home pc, click on the 'Browse' button to locate the folder on your home computer which holds your photos, ie My Documents/My Pictures. Select the photo you require and now click on the 'upload image' button. You can upload up to 6 images in this way. If you wish to remove any of the images simply click on the 'remove image' link underneath the photo. Once you are happy with your images selection, don't forget to save them by clicking on the red 'Save your Comments' tab at the top of the page,
To add a caption to your photos, you will notice a box to the right hand side of the photo for you to enter any caption text or detailed information to display underneath the images on your page. Simply enter your text and remember to save the caption by clicking on the red 'Save your Comments' tab at the top of the page.
If you are having problems with adding photos, please don't suffer in silence, a good photo is so important to your listing, you've done all the hard work adding your listing, and you have a beautiful property to show to the world, now you need to add colour to bring your property to life Remember most visitors to websites only give you a few valuable seconds of their time so to really promote your property to them, it really is best to present your home in the best possible way, without a photo, it is very hard for the visitor to visualise your property.
The main reason why most photos can't be uploaded is because they are either too large, or they are not in jpg format. We are only able to accept photos/images up to 2096 kilobytes, and they must be in jpg format only.
If you need help resizing your photos, we can recommend Irfanview; an excellent simple graphics program which is ideal for resizing or editing your images, it's free for personal use, but if you want to use it for commercial use, perhaps for your own website, you will need to purchase a licence, but still great value at only 10 Euros. If you prefer, we can resize your photos for you, or copy them from your website, with the webmasters permission of course!
Step 4
The final and most important step... Please make sure that your listings are activated otherwise it will not be possible to view your listings, in our online search engine.
When you are happy that you have entered all information and pictures you can activate your property listing by returning to your property page by clicking on the blue link which takes you back to Your holiday property rental listing where you will notice that the red 'status' button to the right of your listing is currently switched to 'off'. To change the status and make your listing live, simply click on it , it should now be green and status should be 'active'. You can now logout of your area and you will see your property listed in our search engine property pages.
If you have any problems at all with any aspect of listing your property or you are unsure of how to do something, please email us, we can help with any problems which you are experiencing. We are quite happy to guide you through the process step by step.
We suggest that you revisit your special Owners Admin area from time to time, log into your account and maintain your details/photographs. The more detailed information you can place on your page can only maximise the interest in your accommodation and generate bookings/reservations for you. Remember - a great photograph will do wonders!
