Facebook For Rent Posting Being Blacklisted by Facebook

Our management company keeps getting blacklisted from posting "for rent" ads on Facebook marketplace. In our area, Facebook is the #1 tenants find a place to rent, so this is a major issue. 

What we have tried:

1. Creating a personal Facebook account for our properties. -Still gets locked out randomly, can usually get it back but takes a couple weeks. FB obviously has some algorithm to determine this isn't a legit personal profile. 

2. Creating a Facebook business account. - FB no longer allows business pages to post for rent to the marketplace. 

3. Creating a sponsored ad. - Ad works, but listing still doesn't show up in the marketplace. 

The only way we don't get blacklisted is by posting from one of our individual personal FB account. Obviously not preferred as we do not want to give out personal login information to our management company, and we don't expect them to their personal FB profiles pages to post. 


Has anyone found a solution for this?

Your management company isn't keeping up with the times.

Facebook stopped allowing facebook ads from real estate professionals. We can't list property for rent or for sale unless it's a paid ad. The work-around is to post it from a personal page, but your PM needs to ensure that doesn't violate some state law.
