By Claire Morel 09/04/2026

The academic start of September 2026 is shaping up to be an uphill battle for thousands of students and young professionals. With vacancy rates reaching historic lows in major university metropolitan areas, finding a place to live is becoming a feat. At Roomlala, we are observing growing concern regarding this housing shortage in Switzerland, which is severely impacting the new generation.

Tax deduction for 'fuorisede' students: Lowering the cost of your room in Italy in 2026

By Claire Morel 09/03/2026

At the start of the academic year, the search for accommodation is often synonymous with stress and significant expenses for many families. Major Italian university cities like Milan, Rome, Bologna, or Florence have particularly high rents, which weighs heavily on household budgets. Fortunately, the Italian government has implemented aid programs to lighten this financial burden. At Roomlala, we know how crucial it is to optimize your housing budget. That is why we are offering a complete breakd...

By Claire Morel 09/02/2026

Facing new real estate market constraints and an exploding demand for rentals for the start of the 2026 academic year, many hosts are asking the same question: how can I rent out a room in a flexible, legal, and secure way?

New EPB requirements in Brussels in 2026: What is the impact on renting out a room in your primary residence?

By Claire Morel 09/01/2026

With the tightening of energy legislation, many Brussels-based hosts are becoming increasingly concerned. Indeed, the new rules linked to the PEB Brussels 2026 are disrupting the traditional rental market. The hunt for energy-inefficient housing is officially on, mandating expensive renovation work and strict rent restrictions. Faced with this legal and financial puzzle, one question arises: how can you continue to generate rental income without breaking the bank on immediate renovations or endl...

Generalization of the CIN in Italy 2026: What are the requirements for renting a room?

By Claire Morel 08/31/2026

Since the beginning of the year, the Italian real estate market has been experiencing unprecedented upheaval. With the final entry into force of the 2026 Italy Housing Law, renting a property or even just a single room for short-term stays is no longer as simple as it once was. The government has decided to tighten regulations to curb the tourism market, combat tax evasion, and bring more homes back to the residential market. At Roomlala, we know that these changes raise many questions for hosts...

Homestay: a different, more affordable way to find accommodation

Renting a homestay means settling into a private room within a local resident's home, while sharing living spaces like the kitchen or the living room. This arrangement, the friendly forerunner of shared housing, is enjoying a real revival: it addresses both the rise in rents, the shortage of student housing, and the desire for a more human lifestyle.

Who is a homestay rental for?

It is the preferred solution for students and apprentices, who find furnished accommodation that is immediately available and much cheaper than a studio. Interns and young professionals appreciate its flexibility: you can rent for a month or a year without the burden of furniture. Employees on business trips see it as a warm alternative to hotels, and seniors who offer a room gain extra income and reassuring company—this is the very essence of intergenerational cohabitation.

A stay that changes everything

Living in a homestay also means benefiting from the advice of a host who knows their city, improving your foreign language skills on a daily basis, and arriving in an unknown city without feeling alone. Utilities are generally included in the rent, the home is fully equipped, and moving in often just comes down to a handshake.

With verified listings, reviews left by previous tenants, and secure online booking, Roomlala supports hosts and tenants at every step, throughout France and across Europe.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a homestay?
Renting a homestay means occupying a private room in an individual's home, with shared access to common areas (kitchen, bathroom, etc.). It is an affordable and friendly solution, ideal for either short or long stays.
How much does a homestay cost?
The rent depends on the city, the neighborhood, and the amenities included. A homestay is generally significantly cheaper than an equivalent studio apartment, as utilities are most often included.
What is the difference between a homestay and shared housing?
In a homestay, you live with the host or the primary tenant who resides on-site. In shared housing, you share the home with other housemates, generally without the host present.
Who is eligible to rent a homestay?
Students, apprentices, interns, young professionals, employees on temporary assignments, or travelers: homestay is suitable for anyone looking for furnished, flexible, and affordable accommodation.
How do I book a homestay on Roomlala?
Contact the host for free through the listing to discuss the terms, then book online. Verified profiles, reviews from previous tenants, and secure payments guarantee you can book your accommodation with complete peace of mind.
