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...

British Columbia rental law 2026: Why long-term rentals are the future

By Claire Morel 08/26/2026

In 2026, the real estate landscape on the Canadian West Coast has changed definitively. With the unprecedented tightening of rules governing tourist accommodations, many hosts are finding themselves at a dead end. Gone are the days when one could book back-to-back rentals for a few nights without worrying about regulations. Today, the new British Columbia 2026 rental law is redrawing the lines for rental investments and homestays. At Roomlala, we support thousands of hosts daily, and we are witn...

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.
