Shared housing: share more than just rent

Shared housing has become the preferred way of living for students and young professionals in major cities. The concept is simple: everyone rents their own room in a shared apartment or house, and common areas, as well as utilities, are split between roommates. The result: reduced rent, more spacious and better-located housing than what you could afford on your own, and a less solitary daily life.

Finding the right shared housing

Successful shared housing depends as much on the home as it does on the people living in it. Take the time to talk with your future roommates or the host: daily routines, remote work, weekends spent at home or away, distribution of chores… The Roomlala messaging system allows you to chat for free before committing, and verified profiles, as well as reviews, help you get a clear idea before even visiting.

Major cities, campuses, and beyond

From Paris to Lille, from Lyon to Toulouse, and including Bordeaux, Rennes, or Montpellier, the selection of rooms for rent in shared housing follows the map of universities, schools, and employment hubs. You will find both lively student shared housing and quieter professional shared housing, available on standard leases or for just a few months — practical for an internship, a short-term contract, or a gap year.

Secure online booking, included insurance, and Roomlala's support allow you to move in with peace of mind, whether you are looking for a room or offering the one that is becoming available in your shared apartment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find shared housing on Roomlala?
Search for your city, compare shared housing listings, and then contact hosts for free to schedule a viewing or ask any questions before booking online.
How much does a room in a shared housing unit cost?
The rent varies depending on the city and the size of the housing. Shared housing allows you to significantly reduce housing costs, as utility bills and amenities are shared between housemates.
What is the difference between shared housing and coliving?
Shared housing is a traditional living arrangement where roommates share a space. Coliving includes additional services (cleaning, furnished common areas, and a community of residents) with a more flexible structure, similar to a hotel experience.
Do I need a guarantor for shared housing?
It depends on the host. On Roomlala, every host sets their own requirements: some may ask for a guarantor or supporting documents, while others do not. Feel free to discuss this directly with the host via our messaging system.
Is shared housing suitable for students?
Yes, it is one of the preferred solutions for students and young professionals: lower rent, furnished housing, a friendly atmosphere, and stay durations adapted to a semester or an academic year.
