List Your Rental Property in Israel for Free – Reach Thousands of English-Speaking Renters!

we don’t take a commission or percentage of your rent. Our goal is to grow a comprehensive database of rental listings for English speakers, which means encouraging as many quality listings as possible. Even if you have multiple properties, you can list them all for free. Some platforms limit your free listings or start charging after the first one​, but we offer unlimited free postings. Our monetization model isn’t based on charging owners – instead, we focus on providing great service and potentially offering optional premium features in the future (but all basic listings will remain free).

Any residential rental property in Israel. Whether it’s an apartment, house, townhouse, cottage, duplex, penthouse, or even a single room in an apartment – if it’s a place for someone to live, you can list it. We welcome long-term rentals (standard 1-year leases or more) as well as short-term rentals (vacation homes, monthly sublets, holiday rentals). In fact, many international visitors look for short-term rentals around holidays like Sukkot and Passover​, and our site is a great way to reach them. There’s no limit on the number of listings you can post, and you can advertise in any location across Israel. From major cities (Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa) to smaller towns or moshavim – renters are searching our platform for all types of homes.

Your listing will be visible on the Semerenko Group website which is optimized for English-speaking users. Renters can browse by city/area or search by keywords. Because our site is SEO-optimized, people searching on Google for terms like “rent apartment in Israel English” or “Israel rental listings for English speakers” will find our platform (often at the top of the results). We also actively promote new listings through social media channels and expat community networks. This means your property gains exposure not just to locals, but to potential tenants worldwide who want to live in Israel. By listing in English, you’re reaching an audience that other Hebrew sites miss – including foreign professionals, embassy staff, students, and olim who trust English platforms for their housing search. Rest assured, your listing will get seen by thousands of prospective renters.

Interested renters can contact you via the method you prefer (which you set when creating the listing). If you choose to share a phone number, expect calls/WhatsApp from prospective tenants. If you choose email or our internal messaging, you’ll get notifications whenever someone inquires. From there, you handle it much like any rental: answer their questions, arrange a viewing (in-person or virtual), and if they’re a fit, proceed with your usual rental agreement. We encourage good practices like meeting the tenant (or having a local representative meet them if you’re abroad), and using a proper lease contract. While Semerenko Group doesn’t vet tenants for you, we do attract a generally reliable, English-speaking renter demographic, and we’re happy to provide guidance on the Israeli rental process if needed. Ultimately, you maintain full control: you decide who to rent to and you deal directly with the tenant – no broker interference or fees.

Yes! Many of our listers are actually owners who live abroad (in the US, UK, Canada, etc.) and have a property in Israel. Our platform is perfect for absentee owners because everything can be done online from anywhere in the world. You can post your listing, communicate with potential tenants via email/Zoom/phone, and even finalize rental agreements remotely. If you need someone to show the property on your behalf, you could arrange a local contact or hire a property manager – but the initial connections and vetting can all be handled through our platform in English. Semerenko Group itself is used to serving international clients​, so we’re here to support you across time zones. Just make sure to mention in your listing any special arrangements (for example, “owner currently abroad, but property can be shown by a friend/family member in Tel Aviv with advance notice”). Many overseas owners successfully rent out their Israeli homes through us.

No problem – you should maximize your exposure! Listing on Semerenko Group will complement your other advertising, not conflict with it. In fact, by posting on our English platform, you’re capturing a segment of the market that Yad2 (Hebrew) might miss: foreigners and English-dominant locals. Feel free to use multiple channels to find a tenant. Just be prepared that you may get more English inquiries from our site. Many landlords tell us they ended up finding their tenant through us even if they had ads elsewhere, simply because of the quality of responses. And since it costs nothing to list here, it’s a win-win. If you do fill your vacancy, you can easily mark your Semerenko listing as “Rented” or take it down – no obligations.

While we can’t promise an exact timeline (it depends on location, price, time of year, etc.), many owners receive inquiries within days of posting. Because our site actively attracts renters, well-priced and well-presented listings tend to get a lot of attention fast. For example, a nicely photographed Jerusalem apartment in a popular neighborhood can get several messages in the first 24-48 hours. We recommend responding promptly to inquiries and being flexible in scheduling viewings to speed up the process. Our platform’s efficiency — and the fact that it directly targets eager English-speaking renters — often leads to faster tenant placement compared to traditional methods. Some owners have even reported finding a tenant and signing a lease in under a week through leads from our site! Of course, results can vary, but rest assured we are doing everything we can (SEO, marketing, community outreach) to get your property in front of the right people quickly.

Yes, we’re here for you. We want you to succeed in renting out your property. If you have any questions as you create your listing – whether it’s how to write a great description, what rent to ask for, or any Israeli rental market questions – you can reach out to our team. We have English-speaking real estate experts ready to help. We can’t manage the property for you (we’re not a property management company, though we can refer you to one if needed), but we will certainly guide you on how to make the most of our platform. Think of us as your partner: from the moment you join, you’re not alone. We also have resources and articles on our site (and blog) about Israeli landlord tips, rental laws, and more, so you can make informed decisions. Our mission is to make the rental process as smooth as possible for English speakers.
