How to make a for rent sign in 3 steps

  1. Describe the place

    The kind of sign, what it is (2 bedrooms, a furnished room, retail space), the rent, the date it is available and a few details.

  2. Add tear-off tabs

    Your phone number on 4 to 10 tabs along the bottom, so people walking past can take it with them.

  3. Print and post it

    Print a full page for a window or a yard stake. Cut between the tabs, up to the dashed line.

What to put on a for rent sign

  • “For Rent” in big letters, readable from the street.
  • What it is (2 bedrooms, a room, an office) and the rent. Leave the rent empty to write it by hand.
  • When it is available, and one or two details people ask about: parking, laundry, pets, utilities.
  • A phone number, big and on the tear-off tabs.

Keep the wording fair

  • The federal Fair Housing Act makes it unlawful to print a rental notice that shows a preference or limit based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status or national origin (42 U.S.C. § 3604(c)). Describe the home, not the tenant you want: “2 bedrooms, near the park”, not “ideal for a young couple”.
  • Many states and cities protect more groups, such as source of income. Check your local rules.

Printing and posting

  1. Print at 100% (Actual size). Most printers cannot print the outer 1/4 inch, so the designs stay inside it.
  2. Cut along the dashed lines between the tabs, up to the line across the page.
  3. Outdoors, put the sign in a clear sleeve or laminate it. Some cities and homeowners’ associations limit yard signs; check before you post one.

Frequently asked questions

Is this for rent sign maker free?

Yes. It is free to use, needs no account or sign-up, and never adds a watermark or a SnapPaperwork logo to your sign.

Can I add tear-off phone number tabs?

Yes. Choose 4, 6, 8 or 10 tabs along the bottom of a full-page sign. They show the number you type, or your contact line.

Can I leave the rent blank?

Yes. Leave it empty and the sign prints a line to write the rent on, so you can reuse a printed stack.

What should I not put on a rental sign?

Anything that shows a preference for or against people because of race, color, religion, sex, disability, family status or national origin, such as “no kids” or “perfect for a single professional”. Describe the home instead.

What paper sizes does it print on?

US Letter and A4, as a full page or as two half-page signs on one sheet (tear-off tabs are on full pages only).
