Looking for an inexpensive way to advertise your recent rental property vacancy? Try out these tips on where you can get free advertising.

Places like laundromats, supermarkets, schools and community centers may have bulletin boards where you can post for free. Just make up a sheet with all of the features of your rental property and ad the phone number on the bottom in strips so it can be torn off. Not only is it free but it targets people who are already familiar with the area of town that your rental is located.
