If you are asking that it be removed entirely Zillow won't do that
Why?..According to the CEO of Zillow
"Regarding why we don't let owners opt their home out of Zestimates: we believe that providing home valuations, as imperfect as they might sometimes be, is in the public interest. Access to this type of information benefits the overall market, and frankly if real estate data including Zestimates had been more readily available in the 2003-2006 bubble era (which was pre-Zillow), perhaps we wouldn't be paying the price today in our overall economy. Information empowers people to make smarter decisions. This is true in every part of our economy, especially the ones where decisions are particularly important (e.g., health care, financial services, real estate). I truly believe that the real estate market is better off due to the information that Zillow provides."

The DAWG has it 100% right. It's not for rent or for sale, it just retains some of the verbiage from the agent. Claim it and change the description.
Note: you can't just delete the text. You have to change it to something else. Zillow will not accept a "blank" home description.

The property doesn't show that it is for rent on Zillow (it would have a purple icon and the words "for rent" in the upper right of the home details page). However, the description retains the words from some listing. You can claim your home on Zillow and edit the description to remove that remnant, and/or remove photos also.

We aren't sure how it got onto Zillow. We thought it was copied onto there from other listings that we had, but we have cancelled all of those. It was on craigslist, hotpads, vflier, portlandrentals. It may be associated under portlandowenhouse@gmail.com as the email contact.
The address was 8787 SE Owen Dr. Happy Valley, OR 97086

What is the source of the listing on Zillow? (your post is not associated with a specific property.) If by an agent, the agent must remove it. If you put it on Zillow using postlets, then sign in to postlets and cancel it. If by another source, please describe the source and we may be able to give some clues.
We have tried to remove this listing from all the sites that we listed our home. It is now rented.
