Turn your empty rooms into a source of extra income

Have your children moved out? Is your guest room not used very often? Do you have an empty room gathering dust or serving as a bit of a storage space? Why not turn those rooms into a source of extra income? These closed rooms, which you don't visit much anymore, could be reopened, allowing you to easily pad your wallet. And it won't require a huge effort: a good spring cleaning, a few clean bed sheets, and a warm welcome!

Fill your empty nest

Three years ago it was full of hustle and bustle, but now your nest has become quite quiet... It’s true: the kids have moved out, your partner hasn't slowed down at work, and you sometimes find yourself a bit alone in that lovely family apartment. Don't worry: bring back some life and atmosphere. Reopen Nicolas and Marie's rooms to a few students who will be happy to occupy them, and maybe even leave a little bit of a mess.

Make new connections

Routine: n.f. I. The habit of acting in the same way... Yes: apartment, partner, friends, place of residence, job... Your life is beautiful, for sure, but slightly routine. So, change your habits a little! Renting a room via Roomlala means welcoming one, two, or three people, regularly or occasionally, to share a meal or breakfast with... A student, a banker, a foreign couple... In short, it's the opportunity to let a bit of spontaneity into your home, and it often leads to a lovely new connection!

Learn a new language

You need to improve your English? But when, and at what cost? With work, children, and the obligations you already have, it's difficult to find the time to get back to English, even though you know it's necessary. It's easy: with Roomlala, you can immerse yourself at home. Host someone who speaks the language you need to improve in, and practice your conversation. Yes, you can combine learning with an extra source of income!

An anti-crisis remedy

With the crisis, we are keeping a closer eye on our wallets: concerns about the future, rising prices, worries for the children... Every expense is a source of stress. Obviously, with the bad numbers read out every night on the news, it's hard to regain confidence. Roomlala is one of those remedies that can help you forget these worries and look more positively at the future. Yes, because your home can become a constant source of income, without the crisis threatening it... So open your doors, and your little venture will no longer be affected by the crisis!

Finance your little indulgences

A handbag, a mobile phone, a shirt, a tablet, a gourmet dinner, a nice watch... Everyone has their own little indulgences. We feel guilty when we give in, but we want them so badly when we see them in a window! Often sporadic, these indulgences don't justify specific savings or a payment from the joint account... But does that mean you have to give up these little pleasures? No, just find another way to finance them: Roomlala! By renting out one of your rooms, you'll be able to splurge almost as much as you want...

Finance a renovation

You live in your apartment, you maintain it, you clean it, you pay the bills... But when it comes time to fund a major renovation, whether for necessity or comfort, what do you do? The cash isn't always there when you need to pay for quotes, supplies, and labor. Anticipate or offset these costs by opening one of your rooms to guests. This way, the renovation will no longer be a source of stress; it will instead be an opportunity for a nice update!

Finance the costs of your second home

Like 10% of people, you may own a second home. And like 10% of people, it generates many expenses: property taxes, heating, plumbing, roofing, general maintenance, electricity... The pill is all the harder to swallow since, fundamentally, you only go there for a few weeks a year. The rest of the time, the house costs money without bringing any in! By opening the guest room of your primary residence for rent, or even by renting your second home from time to time, you can finance all the costs associated with the latter. And enjoy a country house that costs you nothing!

Pay your bills

Property or residence taxes, gas or electricity bills, condo fees, or a simple repair... When you live in an apartment, you often plan for fixed costs, but certainly not for rising bills or an unexpected accident. And sometimes, what you have to pay piles up, without you really knowing how to cover it. Well, Roomlala allows you to anticipate or simply pay these bills without straining your budget: simply open a room for rent for the year, the month, or the weekend according to your needs, and no longer be stressed by every piece of mail!

Finance your trip when you go on vacation

A week at a spa, a weekend in Rome, a Mediterranean cruise, ten days in New York... These are some trips that many dream of. And yet, once all the mandatory expenses are covered, there is often not much left at the end of the month to set aside for a trip. Don't worry, Roomlala is there to help you: plan the times you want to host someone and set the price based on your project. Wait a little while, and it will be realized soon enough.

Slow down at work

Work, commute, sleep... The days pass, often looking the same. They may be pleasant, but you realize that life goes by fast, and you don't have time for your projects, the ones you dreamed of carrying out. So slow down: with Roomlala, allow yourself to reduce your work activity and compensate for the loss of income at the same time. You decide everything: date, price, duration... Now all you have to do is fine-tune your project.

Engage in a fair exchange

Up 30% over the last 10 years, rent prices just keep skyrocketing. Add the crisis to this increase, which puts pressure on salaries, and you'll know that it is increasingly difficult to find housing in big cities. So, engage in a fair exchange: if the crisis worries you, know that it is felt even more acutely by those who have to move or commute for professional or educational reasons. By renting out a room, you will supplement your income while offering someone the opportunity for lower-cost housing!
