Why switching isn’t possible
Unfortunately, a property listed for sale cannot be switched to a rental under the same listing. Selling and renting are legally considered two different transactions, each governed by its own rules, disclosures, and MLS requirements. Because of this, a sale listing cannot be converted into a rental listing without creating a new agreement.
Renting is still an option
If you decide that renting your property makes more sense, that’s absolutely possible with Beycome. It just requires starting a new process. Rental listings need different information, such as lease terms, rental price, occupancy details, and rental-specific disclosures, which are not part of a sale listing.
What you need to do
To list your property for rent, you’ll need to complete a separate rental questionnaire. Once that’s done, a new listing agreement is generated specifically for a rental. This allows your property to be listed correctly and in full compliance with MLS rules and local regulations.
Why a new listing agreement is required
We know it would be easier if switching from sale to rent were possible in one step. From a user perspective, we’d love that too. However, it’s not legally allowed without generating a new listing agreement. Doing so protects you, the brokerage, and the integrity of the listing.
Bottom line
While switching a listing from sale to rent isn’t possible, restarting the process ensures everything is accurate, compliant, and set up properly from day one. If you need help deciding or want assistance starting a rental listing, just ask—we’re here to help.
