By Marc Dumont 08/10/2026

The start of the school year in September is fast approaching, and with it, a significant challenge for thousands of young people: finding student housing in Halifax for 2026. Every year, the capital of Nova Scotia attracts a wealth of talent from across Canada and the globe. Yet, behind this academic enthusiasm lies an increasingly complex real estate reality. Faced with constantly rising rents and a critical lack of on-campus infrastructure, the quest for a roof over one's head often feels lik...

By Claire Morel 08/09/2026

For several years, the French real estate market has been shaken by the rhythm of energy reforms. With the tightening of regulations, many hosts find themselves helpless when faced with the inability to rent out their property. At Roomlala, we support hosts daily as they look for reliable and legally compliant solutions to continue generating income. The 2026 ban on renting out energy-inefficient properties maintains strong pressure on landlords of entire homes. However, a particularly interesti...

By Claire Morel 08/06/2026

Faced with rapid changes in the real estate market and persistent inflation, many Spanish hosts are wondering about the best strategy to make their assets profitable. Since the first rent control measures came into force, the rental landscape has changed profoundly. At Roomlala, we are observing a major trend accelerating in 2026: the massive transition from renting entire homes to renting individual rooms. But why such enthusiasm? The answer lies at the heart of the 2026 Housing Law (Ley de Viv...

New CIN regulations in Italy: Why hosts are turning to shared housing in 2026

By Claire Morel 08/04/2026

Since the beginning of 2026, the Italian real estate market has been undergoing a true revolution. For more than a decade, major cities like Rome, Milan, Florence, or Bologna have been overwhelmed by the frenzy of tourist rentals. However, faced with the urgency of the housing crisis and the need to regulate a sector that had become uncontrollable, the Italian government has decided to act firmly. The entry into force of drastic new regulations is shaking up the habits of real estate investors.T...

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.
