List your back room free
Fill in your room details first — you only need an account at the very end. Tenants across South Africa message you straight on WhatsApp. No agents, no admin fees, no commission.
How listing your room on Place4Me works
1. Describe the room
Suburb, monthly rent, deposit and what's included — water, electricity, WiFi, own entrance, parking or a private bathroom. Tenants filter on these, so the more you fill in, the more enquiries you get.
2. Add photos
Listings with 3 or more photos get far more WhatsApp enquiries than listings with one. Shoot in daylight: the room itself, the bathroom, the entrance and the yard.
3. Publish and reply on WhatsApp
Create your free landlord account at the last step and your room goes live immediately. Tenants tap Chat on WhatsApp and message you directly — Place4Me never sits between you and the tenant.
Landlord questions
How much does it cost to list a room?
Nothing. Listing a back room, garden cottage, granny flat or bachelor flat on Place4Me is free, and we take no commission on the rent you collect.
Who sees my listing?
Tenants browsing Place4Me by city and suburb — Johannesburg, Pretoria, Ekurhuleni, Cape Town, Durban and more — plus anyone who finds your suburb page through Google.
What contact details do tenants see?
Only the WhatsApp number you enter for enquiries. Your email and account details are never shown on the listing.
Can I edit or remove the listing later?
Yes. Sign in to your dashboard to update the rent, swap photos, or mark the room as taken — a room marked unavailable disappears from search straight away.
How long does it take?
About five minutes. You only need the suburb, rent, a short description, your WhatsApp number and a few photos.
