Reasons your listing may not be published:
Your listing is already being posted from another rental source. Zillow will only ever publish a single version of a listing at any given time. If the listing is already coming from the MLS, another listing site, or another account in Rental Manager, it is very likely for your listing to be declined. To help prevent this, make sure your listing is complete, has photos, and has the complete address (with unit number where applicable).
Your listing is already posted for sale. Zillow Group does not support listings that are for sale and for rent simultaneously. Only one version of the listing will be published. If the listing is already listed for sale, the sale listing must be completely removed in order for your rental to post. To remove the sale listing, contact the listing owner to remove the listing at the source. You can find the listing owner's information under the Overview section of the active sale listing on Zillow. Once it has been removed from the source, it will remove from Zillow Group sites within 24 hours. Once you have confirmed the listing is off-market/no longer for sale, you can publish your rental listing.
The listing is in a large rental community. If your listing is in a community of 50+ rentals, it may be subject to our Featured Listing program. This lets the apartment community's management company manage the inventory and marketing of the entire community. Individual listings can not be posted directly. For more information, please see http://www.zillow.com/rental-property-advertising/
The rental listing is in New York. In areas of New York where vertical living is common, only listings coming directly via StreetEasy will be posted on Zillow, Trulia and HotPads. The listing will still syndicate out to the other sites however.
The rental listing is a Room for Rent.
If you are posting a Room for Rent listing through Zillow Rental Manager, your listing will be posted to HotPads and show 'Declined' on Zillow and Trulia. Zillow and Trulia do not host listings in this category. If you selected the room for rent category by mistake, you can deactivate the listing and create a new one without the room for rent designation. At this time, we do not have the option to remove the room for rent feature from a property card. Please note, you can still manage and edit your room for rent listing through Zillow Rental Manager to appear on Hotpads.
