You can use Illuminate\Validation\Rule in Laravel as given below to build the validator.

$validator =  Validator::make( $request->input(), [
    'list_type' => 'required',
    'sale_price'=> Rule::requiredIf( function () use ($request){
        return $request->input('list_type') == 'For Sale';
    }),
    'rent_price'=> Rule::requiredIf( function () use ($request){
        return $request->input('list_type') == 'For Rent';
    }),
]);
