Turn your empty rooms into a source of extra income

Have your children moved out? Is your guest room not used that often? Do you have an empty room that is just gathering dust and acting as a storage space? Why not turn those rooms into a source of extra income? These closed-off rooms, which don't get much use anymore, could be reopened to help you easily boost your monthly budget. And it won't require a huge effort: just a good spring cleaning, some clean bed sheets, and a warm welcome!

Fill your empty nest

After three years full of excitement, your nest has become very quiet… That's right: the kids have moved out, your spouse hasn't slowed down at work, and you find yourself a bit lonely in that lovely family apartment from time to time. No problem: bring a little hustle and bustle back into your home. Re-open Nicolas and Marie's old rooms to a few students who would be happy to move in, and perhaps make a bit of a mess.

Make new connections

Routine: n.f. I. The habit of acting in the same way… And yes: apartment, partner, friends, place of residence, job…. Your life is beautiful, for sure, but a bit routine. So, change your habits a little! Renting out a room via Roomlala means welcoming one, two, three… people, regularly or occasionally, with whom you can share a meal or breakfast… A student, a banker, a couple from abroad… In short, it is an opportunity to bring a little bit of the unexpected into your home, and it often leads to a lovely connection!

Learn a new language

Do you need to improve your English? But when is the best time to do it, and at what price? With an active life, children, and existing obligations, it is difficult to find the time to get back into English, even though you know it is necessary. It’s easy: with Roomlala, you can immerse yourself right at home. Host a speaker of the language you want to improve in, and practice your conversation skills. And yes, you can combine learning with an additional source of income!

A cure for the economic blues

With the economy being what it is, we are watching our wallets more and more: worries about the future, rising prices, fears for the children…. Every expense is a source of stress. Of course, with the bad figures announced every night on the news, it is difficult to feel confident. Roomlala is one of those remedies that can help you forget these worries and look at the future more positively. Yes, because your home can become a constant source of income that isn't threatened by the economy… So open your doors, and your small business will no longer be affected by the crisis!

Finance your little luxuries

Handbag, smartphone, shirt, tablet, gourmet dinner, valuable watch…. Everyone has their little luxuries. We feel guilty when we give in, but we want them so badly when we see them in a store window! Often one-off purchases, these luxuries don't justify specific savings or an expense from the shared account… But does that mean you should give up these small pleasures? No, just find another way to fund them: Roomlala! By listing one of your rooms for rent, you can indulge yourself almost as much as you want…

Finance your apartment renovations

You live in your apartment, you maintain it, you clean it, you pay the bills… But when it comes time to finance a major renovation, whether it is necessary or for comfort, what should you do? Funds are not always available when you need to pay for quotes, materials, and labor. Anticipate or offset these costs by opening one of your rooms for rent. This way, the renovation will no longer be a source of stress; it will be an opportunity to freshen up your home!

Finance the expenses for your second home

Like 10% of people, you might own a second home. And just like for 10% of people, it generates many expenses: property taxes, heating, plumbing, roofing, general maintenance, electricity… The pill is even harder to swallow considering you only go there a few weeks a year. The rest of the time, the house costs money without earning anything! By opening the guest room of your primary residence for rent, or even by occasionally renting out your second home, you can finance all the costs associated with it. And enjoy a country house that doesn't cost you a thing!

Pay your bills

Property or residence taxes, gas or electricity bills, condo fees, or just a simple repair… When you live in an apartment, you often plan for fixed costs, but certainly not for rising bills or an unexpected repair. And sometimes, what you have to pay piles up, without you really knowing how to cover it. Well, Roomlala allows you to anticipate or simply pay these bills without straining your budget: just open a room for rent by the year, by the month, or by the weekend according to your needs, and stop stressing over every bill that comes in the mail!

Finance your vacation

A week at a spa, a weekend in Rome, a cruise in the Mediterranean, ten days in New York…. These are some trips that many people dream of. And yet, once all the mandatory costs and expenses are taken care of, there is often not much left at the end of the month to set aside for a trip. No problem, Roomlala is here to help you: plan the times you want to host someone and set the price according to your goal. Wait a little, and it will be achieved in no time.

Slow down at work

Commute, work, sleep…. The days go by and often feel the same—certainly pleasant, but you realize that life goes by quickly and that you don't have time for your projects, the ones you dreamed of doing. So slow down: with Roomlala, allow yourself to reduce your workload and compensate for the lost income at the same time. You decide everything: dates, price, duration… Now all you have to do is perfect your project.

Make a win-win exchange

Up 30% over the last 10 years, rent prices just keep soaring. Add the economic crisis to this increase, which puts pressure on wages, and you know that it is increasingly difficult to find housing in big cities. So, make a win-win exchange: if the current situation worries you, know that it is felt more harshly by those who have to move or commute for professional or educational reasons. By renting out a room, you will supplement your income while offering someone the opportunity to find accommodation at a lower cost!
