In this brief advisory, the speaker emphasizes that landlords and property managers should list clear, non‑negotiable policies—such as security deposit amounts and pet rules—directly in their rental advertisements.

The speaker claims that each clearly stated policy can shave 2 to 3 days off the overall days‑on‑market, accelerating the leasing process.
