Your guide to listing and managing your lot space

Showcase Your Lot

Grab potential renters' attention by providing essential details about your lot. Include information like location, dimensions, surface type, and any amenities, along with high-quality photos that showcase your space from multiple angles.

Set Availability & Rules

You're in control of when your lot is available. Define your schedule, set minimum/maximum rental durations, and specify entry/exit times if needed. Clearly state your rules - what's allowed (types of vehicles/activities) and what's not to set clear expectations.

Define Your Pricing

Set competitive rates based on your lot's size, features, location, and the duration. You can offer different rates for daily, weekly, and monthly rentals. Our platform handles secure payment collection, making it hassle-free for you.

Manage Inquiries & Bookings

You'll be notified of booking requests and messages. Respond promptly through our secure messaging system. You can choose to approve requests manually or enable 'Instant Book' for trusted renter profiles if you prefer automatic approvals.

Prepare for the Renter

Once a booking is confirmed, ensure the lot is clean, accessible, and matches your listing description. Provide clear check-in/access instructions through the platform messaging to ensure a smooth experience for the renter.

Get Paid Securely

Lot Lease processes renter payments securely. Your earnings (minus our platform service fee) are transferred directly to your linked bank account typically 24-48 hours after the rental period begins.

Common Questions

Everything you need to know about listing your lot

What kind of lots can I list?

We welcome most types of accessible, non-building land - paved lots, gravel yards, fields, large driveways, etc. Focus is on space for parking, storage, events, or temporary operations. It needs to be safe and legal to use for the intended purpose.

Is it free to list my lot?

Yes, creating a listing is completely free. We only charge a small service fee from your earnings when you successfully rent out your space.

What information do I need to provide?

Location, dimensions, surface type, access details, photos, your desired availability, pricing, and rules for renters. The more detail, the better!

How do I take good photos?

Use a smartphone or camera during daylight hours. Capture wide shots showing the entire space, boundary lines, and access points. Add close-ups of key features (surface, fencing, power outlets). Ensure the lot looks clean and tidy.

How should I price my lot?

Research comparable listings in your area. Consider size, location, amenities (paved, fenced, lit), and duration discounts (daily vs. weekly vs. monthly). Start competitively to attract initial renters.

What's the service fee?

We charge a service fee from the owner's payout per booking. This covers platform operation, secure payment processing, and support. The fee is clearly shown before you confirm a booking request.

How do I manage my calendar?

Use the calendar tool in your owner dashboard. You can block specific dates, set recurring unavailability, and define minimum/maximum rental periods. Keep it updated to avoid conflicts.

What's the difference between booking types?

'Request to Book' means you manually approve each booking request. 'Instant Book' allows renters who meet your criteria to book automatically - good for maximizing bookings if your availability is firm.

How quickly should I respond?

We encourage responding within 24 hours to provide a good experience for renters and secure the booking. Prompt responses improve your listing visibility.

What if I need to cancel?

Cancelling confirmed bookings should be avoided as it impacts renters. Penalties may apply unless due to specific extenuating circumstances outlined in our policy. Contact support if you must cancel.

When do I get paid?

Payouts are typically initiated 24-48 hours after the scheduled start time of the booking. Processing time to reach your bank account may vary (usually 3-5 business days).

How do I set up payments?

Go to your Account Settings > Payout Methods. You can link a bank account via our secure payment processor for direct deposits.

Are earnings taxable?

Yes, income earned through Lot Lease is generally considered taxable income. We may provide tax documentation if you meet certain earning thresholds. Consult a tax professional for specific advice.

What if there's damage?

Document the damage with photos/videos immediately. Communicate with the renter via the platform first. If unresolved, contact Lot Lease support to initiate a resolution process. We recommend having your own property insurance.

Am I responsible for renter safety?

You are responsible for ensuring your lot is reasonably safe and free from hazards as described in your listing. Clearly outline any potential risks or rules related to safety.

Should I meet renters in person?

It's generally not required. Clear access instructions provided via the platform are usually sufficient. All communication should ideally remain on the platform for record-keeping.
