Can I post a room if I don’t live in the apartment (live-out landlord)?
Yes! Diggz is built for all types of listers — including live-out owners, property managers, or anyone subletting their own room.
Here’s how to make the most of your listing as a live-out landlord:
📝 Still fill out your profile
Even if you’re not living in the home, your profile matters. It builds trust and helps prospective renters get a sense of what to expect.
You can use the bio section to:
-
Describe the ideal tenant you’re looking for
-
Share details about current roommates (if applicable)
-
Clarify your role (e.g., “I'm the landlord of this property”)
🏡 Post one listing per property
You can post one ad per property. If you have multiple rooms available at the same location, simply:
-
Mention that in the description
-
Update the listing as rooms are filled
For multiple properties, we offer Pro Accounts — reach out here to get in touch.
🏷️ Use the “Live-out Owner” tag
During the onboarding flow, you'll see an option to mark your listing as “Live-out Owner” — make sure to select it. This helps renters understand the setup and improves transparency.
🙋♂️ It might feel roommate-focused — that’s by design
We know the platform might feel like it's geared toward roommates. That’s intentional — it’s designed to match people based on compatibility, whether you're renting a room or looking for one. Everything we ask helps ensure the right fit — which makes your job as a landlord easier in the long run
