The Display Feed is a licence to show manager-published rental listings inside your own product, with attribution and a link back to each source. The Data API is not a display licence. The standard terms are the contract; this page is the plain-words version.
Every displayed listing names the publishing manager or owner as the source. Attribution is not removed, obscured or replaced.
Every displayed listing links to the source URL in the record, the manager's own page. Photos are shown by reference to the URLs in the feed; no re-hosting, no watermarking. Caching for performance is agreed in writing.
Enquiries on a listing go to the source listing or the contact it publishes. HousingFeed does not intermediate leads and takes no revenue share.
Display only records whose status is live. Remove delisted records on your next sync and honour a source's takedown request within seven days. How verification and removals work →
Each listing in the Display Feed was published by a property manager or owner on their own website or leasing software, for renters to see. HousingFeed collects it there and licenses its display with the source named and linked. Portal and aggregator listings are excluded by an allowlist of manager-direct sources, not by a filter.
Other routes carry their own terms: MLS feeds under IDX or VOW rules for licensed brokers, portal partner programmes on the portal's conditions, syndication networks for a broker's own listings. Scraping a portal comes with no display right.

The permission to show a rental listing, including its description and photos, to end users of your own product. HousingFeed grants it under the Display Feed licence with attribution and a link back to the source; the Data API grants no display rights.
A rental listing collected from the property manager's or owner's own website or leasing software, where it was published for renters. Manager-direct listings are the only listings in the Display Feed; portal-derived listings are excluded.
Distribution of a listing from where it was published to other sites. Landlord tools syndicate outward to portals; HousingFeed licenses the inward direction, supplying published listings to products that display them, with the publisher named and linked.
The licence condition that every displayed listing names the publishing manager or owner and links to the source URL carried in the record. Attribution may not be removed, obscured or replaced.
No. The Data API grants internal use: research, analytics, internal tools and model evaluation within the general terms. Showing listings to your users requires the Display Feed licence, which is a separate agreement with its own scope and fee.
Photos are displayed by reference to the URLs in the feed and are not re-hosted, altered or watermarked. If you need local caching for performance, it is agreed in writing in the order form.
Not under the Display Feed. Training, fine-tuning or evaluating models is excluded except for models used solely to serve your own product under the licence (ranking, search, recommendation, translation of the listings you show).
No. Resale, sublicensing, redistribution as a dataset or API, and white-labelling are excluded. Your own inventory, submitted to you directly by landlords, is yours and outside the agreement.
We do not give warranties of completeness, accuracy or continued availability, and we do not give legal opinions. What the licence does provide: per-source disclosure of how each source in your scope is collected and any access restrictions it declares, the right to exclude any source, timestamps on every record, and a seven-day takedown. Read the standard terms and take your own advice.
