Shared housing consists of sharing the same home between one or more people by mutual agreement. They thus share common areas and the associated costs.
In general, each tenant has a private bedroom and a bathroom, but shares the kitchen, living room, terrace, and other spaces with the other roommates.
All expenses related to housing are divided between the roommates, in particular subscriptions (electricity, internet, TV), home insurance, furniture purchases, etc.
The demand for roommates is plentiful in the market. However, finding the ideal roommate can be difficult, as it is not easy to live with someone who is a stranger to you.
It is one of the first options when doing this type of research. Whether in your surroundings (friends, family, loved ones, friends, colleagues), talk about your intention around you. It is possible that your future roommate is already someone you know.
Social networks are not limited to entertainment platforms. A serious professional network like LinkedIn is an appropriate platform for publishing your roommate search.
However, be specific in your search for certain information:
● The type of roommate: number of people, size of the room and details about shared rooms
● The geographical area of the accommodation
● The monthly rent price
Don't forget to add a few photos of the interior of the home to your post to give a glimpse to your future tenant.
Several sites allow you to quickly find a roommate. On these various platforms, you will certainly find students looking for roommates in the same situation as you.
You will only have to select several profiles and meet them to choose the one that matches your criteria.
Here are some platforms for finding a roommate:
● Apshare
● Cooloc
● Flatbay
● LocService
To find a roommate, you can also post roommate ads on real estate listing sites. Platforms like “The good coin” or “Housing” accept these types of ads.
“Leboncoin” even offers a section entirely dedicated to colocation.
On these sites, your ad should be more specific than on social networks.
For example, you must specify the total area, the presence of a balcony, the description of the furniture in the unit, the amount of rent and the type of lease offered.
