A real video for this kind of businessHow this video was made

For leasing agents, property managers and small landlords, this guide turns a vacant apartment into a video with a clear price and next step. Start with the listing and fee sheet, use the checklist, then choose from five videos for recurring renter questions. The fictional brief shows a move-in special with readable conditions. Keep real photos and a verified floor plan on the listing.

Twelve checks with the vacancy listing open

Compare the video with the current listing, fee sheet and tour schedule. These are editorial checks, not a legal compliance certificate; use the current rules discussed below.

  • The unit identifier, bedroom count and availability date refer to the apartment actually being offered.
  • The rent uses the same lease length and dates as the listing; a discounted average is not presented as the regular monthly payment.
  • Required monthly charges are itemized beside the rent, with a total where useful; optional parking is identified as optional.
  • One-time fees and refundable deposits are distinguished from monthly costs. Do not leave a mandatory charge to be discovered at the tour.
  • A concession identifies the eligible unit, lease length, signing deadline and month receiving the discount.
  • Each feature belongs to this unit or is identified as shared: in-unit laundry is different from a building laundry room.
  • Pet information matches the policy and fee sheet. Have assistance-animal wording checked against current guidance before publication.
  • Accessibility wording names verified features, such as the entrance route; avoid a broad accessibility claim based only on an elevator.
  • The ad describes the apartment and nearby places rather than preferred residents; send uncertain wording for qualified review.
  • A resident quote has permission and any required disclosure within the video; see the endorsement note below.
  • The tour link opens the right listing and offers the visits advertised. Test it on a phone without a staff login.
  • A named staff member has an expiry reminder and a list of posts to update when the unit is leased or the offer changes.

Five moves from the fee sheet to a tour invitation

  1. Choose the apartment the clip will represent

    Write the unit number on your working sheet. If you advertise a floor-plan type, confirm which available units share its rent and features. Do not combine a balcony from one unit with the price of another.

  2. Pull one question from recent inquiries

    Read leasing emails and tour notes. Choose one question about laundry, parking, costs or availability, and ask the responsible staff member to confirm the answer. Save other questions for separate clips.

  3. Draft the cost card before the animation

    Separate recurring payments, required charges, deposits and optional services. Specify whether a concession changes one payment or spreads a credit across the lease. Have current local advertising requirements reviewed; a clear card does not establish compliance.

  4. Choose a format and one destination

    Choose vertical 9:16 for a social post or horizontal 16:9 beside the listing. Procedural Videos offers 10, 15, 20 or 30 s. Choose a longer tier if the terms need reading time; keep them consistent across versions.

  5. Watch silently, then set an expiry task

    Read the exported clip on your phone without pausing. Revise conditions that disappear too quickly. Record the post location, unit and deadline. Recheck availability before sharing and withdraw outdated clips rather than correcting only their descriptions.

Five leasing clips tied to questions at the tour desk

Choose the question you can answer with verified information today. The suggested timing below is a working plan, not a claim about market demand.

  1. What will I pay each month?

    Build a cost card from the fee sheet: base rent, mandatory recurring charges and the total. Put optional parking on a separate line. This prevents a headline concession from obscuring the regular payment.

    Try this: Post when a price changes; use the same figures in the listing and reply to cost inquiries with that listing.

  2. Does this unit have its own laundry?

    Contrast “washer and dryer in unit” with “shared laundry room” using plain text and a simple icon. Name the specific apartment; do not let footage of a different unit imply the appliances are included.

    Try this: Post when this question recurs in tour notes; keep real appliance photos in the listing.

  3. Which month gets the move-in discount?

    Show a payment sequence: discounted first month, then regular monthly rent. Keep the eligible unit, lease term and signing deadline beside the offer. Include other required costs rather than implying the discount covers the whole move-in bill.

    Try this: Share only while those terms apply; ask a colleague to explain the offer after watching without sound.

  4. Where do I arrive for the viewing?

    Make a text sequence for the verified meeting point, parking instructions and booking route. Avoid showing entry codes or occupied-unit interiors. Distinguish the leasing office from the apartment entrance if they are in different buildings.

    Try this: Send after a booking, and reuse publicly only if the instructions contain no private access information.

  5. Can I see this apartment before moving from another city?

    Explain how to request a live remote viewing with your team, if you offer one. List what that visit will show: the actual unit, window outlook and entry route. An animated summary does not replace that viewing.

    Try this: Use for remote inquiries; link to current unit details and confirm which apartment the staff member will show.

Fair housing wording: describe the home, not the household

For US ads, 42 U.S.C. § 3604(c) prohibits rental advertising indicating preferences or discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status or national origin. This is not legal advice. Check current federal, state and local rules with a qualified adviser; elsewhere, check the property’s jurisdiction.

Do

  • Identify the unit: “two bedrooms, one bath, washer and dryer included.”
  • Describe nearby places with verified distances and specify the measurement method if needed.
  • Name observable features: “elevator to this floor” or “courtyard shared by residents.”
  • Keep the invitation focused on the visit: “View available tour appointments.”

Don't

  • Avoid audience labels such as “young professionals” or “ideal for a single person”; describe the home instead.
  • Do not use “no children” or “adults only” as casual marketing wording. Have any proposed exception reviewed before advertising.
  • Do not describe the neighborhood through residents’ religion or national origin.
  • Do not treat assistance-animal requests as ordinary pet questions. HUD distinguishes assistance animals from pets; check current guidance with a qualified adviser for your property.

Parkline unit 204: a move-in special with readable terms

Parkline Apartments and its figures are invented. Adapt the Spotlight listing template (Weekend deal version), an example brief and storyboard, to 30 s for readable conditions. This text poster does not reconstruct the apartment.

The briefInvented businessSpotlight listing · Weekend deal poster

Create a 30 s, 9:16 video in the poster style for fictional Parkline Apartments, unit 204, one bedroom. Use text and abstract shapes. Colors: #6d28d9, #fbbf24, #f5f3ff. Regular rent: $1,650 per month; no other mandatory monthly charges. Features: in-unit laundry and shared rooftop terrace. Offer for unit 204 only: first month rent $825, then $1,650 per month; 12-month lease signed by October 31, 2026. Refundable security deposit: $1,000, paid separately. Hold the offer and conditions together. No narration. Finish with “Parkline Apartments · Book a tour · parkline.example”.

Questions people ask

What should an apartment leasing video include?

Identify the unit, regular monthly payment, required charges, relevant verified features and one way to arrange a tour. If there is a concession, keep its eligibility and timing with the offer. Leave the actual photographs and verified floor plan on the listing.

Can I say “perfect for students” in a rental ad?

As an editorial choice, describe the distance to campus and the apartment’s features instead. Student status is not itself one of the categories listed in the cited federal provision; context and local rules matter. Check current requirements with a qualified adviser rather than treating this phrase as automatically lawful or unlawful ([US statute](source:1)).

When should I post a vacancy video?

Use your own unit-ready dates, lease expirations and inquiry records. Post only after staff confirm the availability and offer. Set the next review for the offer deadline or an availability change, rather than relying on a general summer or winter rule.

Should I advertise effective rent or regular monthly rent?

Show what the renter will actually pay each month. If you also use a discounted average across a lease, label it separately and explain the payment sequence. Confirm current local price-disclosure rules before posting; this is an editorial recommendation, not legal advice.

Can an animated leasing clip replace an apartment tour?

Use it to explain prices, verified features and the booking process. It does not establish the room dimensions, condition or window view. Provide current real photographs separately and arrange an in-person or staff-led remote viewing when available.
