Monitors

What monitors are and how to keep them useful.

What a monitor is

A monitor is one saved rental search. It stores the criteria, checks supported sources in the background, and sends new matches to your chosen channels.

Good monitor shape

A good monitor is specific enough that an alert is worth opening, but not so narrow that nothing ever appears.

When to split searches

Split searches when the intent differs. For example, one monitor for a preferred neighbourhood and one broader fallback monitor.

When to pause

Pause a monitor when you are no longer ready to reply quickly. Your history stays available, and you can resume later.

When to delete

Delete a monitor when the search is no longer relevant, for example after moving or changing budget completely.
