You provide basic information about your rental when you create your listing with Zillow Rental Manager. But renters often need to connect with you to gather more information. So, what are renters asking? Here are nine common questions.

1. Do you have more (or any) pictures?

It goes without saying that you need high-quality photos of your rental to stand out to the right renter. Make this a priority if you haven’t already.

If you are including pictures, consider whether there are enough, or if the ones you have really show the place adequately. Incorporate other angles, outdoor features or additional details that can be a selling point. Ask a trusted friend or colleague for feedback, and consider hiring a photographer if needed.

2. Would you consider allowing my pets?

OK, so this one is probably going to get asked, even if you state clearly in the listing that there are no pets allowed. Who hasn’t run across a potential renter who thinks their teacup poodle should be no problem?

Our best advice here is make sure your listing clearly states “Absolutely no pets,” and be firm about your policy. If you let the two Shih Tzus in, the guy upstairs will want to get that blue heeler he’s had his eye on, and so on.

3. Are there any application requirements?

Tenant background and credit checks are normal in the rental process. You can also ask for references. However, each landlord’s requirements and screening process are different.

Noting what to expect in your listing can help attract motivated renters who are ready to take the next step. It also helps them plan and organize their information ahead of touring, so they’re ready when you invite them to apply.

4. Would you consider (an amount less than listed) a month?

What you’re willing to negotiate is up to you. But remember — if you negotiate something for one tenant, you need to do it for all your tenants.

While “Willing to negotiate rent” isn’t something you should advertise on your rental listing, there are other ways to note that your rental rate is competitive within your market.

5. Would you consider accepting Section 8?

The federal Housing Choice Voucher program, also known as “Section 8,” is a form of tenant-based rental assistance that helps people afford safe, quality housing through vouchers that are managed and distributed by a local public housing authority or other agency. Often a portion of the rent is covered and paid to the landlord directly from the housing authority, and the tenant is responsible for the remaining balance.

Many states and cities have laws that make it illegal to refuse to rent to tenants with housing vouchers. While the local housing authority will need to inspect your unit to ensure that minimum health and safety standards are met, keep in mind that once qualified, you will receive on-time rent payments backed by the federal government.

6. Would you consider a shorter lease?

Maybe you’re thinking about a major renovation to your property or traveling during the busy leasing season. Whatever the reason, you might be willing to consider a shorter lease term.

While this is totally up to you, if you’re open to it, make note of it in your listing. Renters who need a shorter-term lease will be thrilled to find a place that meets their needs.

7. Do you require a deposit?

Give your prospects all the information they need to decide if they can afford your place, and include information about the deposit in your listing. This will help ensure only qualified prospects contact you.

8. Would you be open to a rent-to-own agreement?

This is another one that you may not want to include in your listing. However, it’s common enough that it made the top nine questions, so be ready with your response if it comes across your inbox.

9. Can I grow marijuana in this house?

Check with a local attorney to find out if it is legal to grow marijuana plants at home in your state.
