Renting out your spare room

Have you got a spare room? Is Flatshare moving out? The Share House is a free and simple way to list and convert that vacant space into a source of income while also finding amazing individuals to share your space with. Here is our comprehensive guide along with some useful tips to assist you in renting out your room.

Create Your FREE listing 

Your listing is your opportunity to showcase your property and attract suitable roommates. Take the time to provide comprehensive information about your home and the people already living there. By doing so, you increase your chances of finding someone who fits well into your household dynamics and shares similar living preferences.

Tip

Don't forget to add some pictures to your listing. Photos can boost the number of people interested by around 132%. It's simple to upload photos from your phone or computer. Focus on snapping shots of the room, bathroom, kitchen, and living area. And don't overlook any special features - they could make all the difference!

Take the initiative

At The Share House, we've got plenty of people looking for rooms listed on our website. You can easily search, browse, and get in touch with them. This saves you time because you can focus on the potential flatshare who are the best fit for your home, rather than sifting through lots of messages. You can start chatting with them directly from their listing using our secure messaging system, and we'll include a link to your listing.

To get started, just simply Click on "Find a place."

 

Don't forget to check your most recent matches.

To make sure you find the best new flatshare, The Share House sends you email alerts when new members join the site who might be a good fit for you. You can change or stop these alerts in your account settings.

We also give you a list of potential matches on your dashboard.

 

Message

It is Free to chat on The Share House message. We suggest using our safe messaging system because it keeps your conversations private and organized. Plus, you can talk without sharing your details right away. You can share them later once you're comfortable with the people you're chatting with.

Tip

The messaging system will also show you if your messages have been successfully delivered and if the other members have read them.

 

Arrange house Inspection

Selecting a housemate who fits in with your household is crucial, and the best way to do this is by meeting potential housemates at the property for a viewing. It's essential to have as many current housemates present as possible to gauge compatibility with everyone.

Tip

Save the top three candidates after checking them online. Then, schedule an inspection with all three within a day or two. This way, you won't waste time on inspections with unsuitable candidates. By focusing on fewer inspections, you'll have more time with each person, allowing you to learn more and make a better choice for your new housemate.

Reach an Agreement

Once you've found the right person for your room, it's crucial to agree on all the details like deposit, rent, move-in date, bills, house rules, and how long they'll stay. The Share House suggests putting everything in writing, even if it's just in an email, to avoid any confusion later on.

The Share House offers a free link to The Share House Agreement.

 

Moving In

Remember to schedule a time for your new housemate to pick up the keys. Also, inform them about any parking rules, loading areas, or building regulations that might impact their move-in process.

Tip

It might take your new housemate some time - a few hours, days, or even weeks - to settle into their new home. So, it's important to socialize with them during those initial days and take the time to get to know each other. This can help everyone feel comfortable living together in the long term.
