Some of your listings are taken, Why are they still listed?

While we make every effort to ensure that our database is up to date, often we are not notified when a room or property has been taken. If you discover that one of our listings is no longer available, please let us know:

What about on-campus accommodation?

You should visit the Murdoch University Village website for information about living on campus.

Who can I contact for help and advice?

I keep getting a message saying "1 field is incorrect"

This means that you are trying to submit a listing, without having filled in every part of the form. The field that needs to be fixed will have a red text message near it. Often, the problem is that a photo has not been added to the listing. The system requires that a photo be added to every listing that is submitted and it will not let you proceed until you have added one.

How do I add photos?

The system requires that a photo be added to every listing that is submitted and it will not let you proceed until you have added one. The link to add photos is right at the bottom of the form. Either click the "click to choose" link to locate the photo you wish to use, or drag it into the box. Please note that the "click to choose link can sometimes be a little slow to load, so try to click it once, then give it a little time if nothing happens.

How long until my advertisement is listed?

Once you have registered, we will check to make sure that your listing matches our requirements. While we endeavour to do this as quickly as possible, please allow 1-2 business days.

How long does my listing stay active for?

One month, after which time you may re-activate it.

I have multiple rooms with different prices. How do I list them?

You can list multiple rooms on one listing, but unfortunately there is only one field for the rooms' price. We recommend that you enter the price of the highest room in the "Rent" field, then put a breakdown of the prices in the "Additional details" field.

How do I edit my listing?

After you sign in to the database, you should be automatically taken to your "Dashboard." This is the main page from which you can control your listings and account details. If you are signed in, but can't get back to the dashboard, there is a link at the top right of every page.

From your dashboard, click on the address of the listing you wish to change. This will display the details of the listing. From here, clicking on the "Make Changes" button will take you to a form where you can change the listing's details.

How do I close my listing?

How do I relist my property?
