For landlords and property managers
Rental listing video tours from the photos you already have.
Landlords and property managers can turn the photos of a vacant unit into a short video tour with Biyra, then post it on the rental listing, social media and their own website. Applicants see the layout before booking a showing, which helps screen out people the unit does not suit. A 30-second tour costs $20, with no subscription and no visit.

Why rentals benefit from video
Rental applicants compare many units quickly and often from out of town. Landlords on investor forums describe video tours as a way to screen out uninterested prospects and cut wasted showings, because people who book after watching already know the layout, light and finishes.
A photo-based video also suits rentals because you rarely have time to book a videographer between tenants. If you photographed the unit once, Biyra can make a new tour from those photos whenever it comes back on the market.
What to include
- The building entrance or exterior, so applicants recognise it.
- Living area and kitchen, the rooms applicants ask about most.
- Each bedroom and bathroom, with clear views of storage.
- Laundry, parking, outdoor space or shared amenities.
- Leave out other tenants’ belongings and anything identifying a current resident.
Keep it accurate
Use recent photos of the actual unit, not a different unit in the building. AI motion can alter small details, so watch the finished video and compare it with the photos before you publish it. If you virtually stage an empty unit, label the staged images.

Questions
- Can I use the same video for every vacancy?
- Yes, as long as the unit has not changed. If you renovate or the finishes change, take new photos and make a new tour.
- Do I need a subscription for occasional vacancies?
- No. Buy a credit pack when a unit comes up; unused credits stay in your workspace.
