Turn your empty rooms into an extra source of income

Have your children moved out? Is your guest room not used that often? Do you have an empty room that’s just gathering dust and acting as a bit of a storage space? Why not turn those rooms into an extra source of income? Those closed doors where you don’t go much anymore could be opened back up, allowing you to easily boost your monthly budget. And it won’t require a huge effort: just a good spring cleaning, some fresh bed sheets, and a warm welcome!

Fill up your empty nest

Three years ago, things were bustling, but now your nest has become very quiet… Yes, the kids have left, your partner is still working hard, and you sometimes find yourself a bit alone in that lovely family home. Don't worry: bring back some life and energy. Re-open the rooms belonging to Nicolas and Marie to a few students who will be happy to move in and perhaps add a little bit of clutter back into the space.

Make new connections

Routine: n.f. I. The habit of doing things the same way… Yes, apartment, partner, friends, place of residence, job…. Your life is great, for sure, but maybe a little routine. So, shake up your habits a bit! Renting a room via Roomlala means welcoming one, two, or even three people, regularly or occasionally, with whom you can share a meal or breakfast… A student, a professional, a couple from abroad… In short, it’s a chance to bring a bit of spontaneity into your home, and it often ends in a lovely new friendship!

Learn a new language

You need to improve your English? But when, and at what cost? With work, kids, and all your existing obligations, it’s hard to find the time to get back into English, even when you know it’s necessary. It’s easy: with Roomlala, you can immerse yourself at home. Host someone who speaks the language you want to improve and work on your conversation skills. And yes, you’ll be able to combine learning with an extra source of income!

A remedy for the economic crisis

With the current economic climate, we are watching our wallets more and more: worries about the future, rising prices, concerns for the children…. Every expense is a source of stress. Of course, with the bad news reported every evening on the news, it’s hard to stay confident. Roomlala is a remedy that can help you forget these worries and look at the future more positively. Because your home can become a constant source of income that is immune to the crisis… So open your doors, and your little side-business will never feel the crisis again!

Fund your little treats

A new handbag, a mobile phone, a shirt, a tablet, a gourmet dinner, a nice watch…. Everyone has their little guilty pleasures. We feel guilty when we give in, but we want them so badly when we see them in the window! Often one-off, these treats don't justify specific savings or a dip into the joint account… So, should you give up on these little joys? No, just find another way to fund them: Roomlala! By listing one of your rooms, you can treat yourself almost as much as you like….

Finance home 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’s for necessity or comfort, what do you do? Cash isn't always available when you need to pay for quotes, materials, and labour. 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, but rather an opportunity for a nice fresh start!

Cover the costs of your second home

Like 10% of people, you might own a second home. And like many others, it generates numerous costs: property taxes, heating, plumbing, roofing, general maintenance, electricity… It’s a bitter pill to swallow when you only go there for a few weeks a year. The rest of the time, the house costs you money without bringing any in! By opening up the guest room of your main residence for rent, or even by occasionally renting out your second home, you can cover all the costs related to it. And you'll have a country house that costs you nothing!

Pay your bills

Property or residence taxes, gas or electricity bills, condo fees, or a simple pipe that needs replacing… When you live in an apartment, you often plan for fixed costs, but certainly not for rising bills or unexpected repairs. Sometimes, what you have to pay piles up, and you don’t know how to handle it. Well, Roomlala helps you anticipate or simply pay these bills without straining your budget: just open a room for rent for the year, the month, or the weekend depending on your needs, and stop feeling stressed by every letter in the post!

Fund your holiday

A week at a spa, a weekend in Rome, a Mediterranean cruise, ten days in New York…. These are the kinds of trips that many dream of. And yet, once all the mandatory expenses and costs are covered, there’s often not much left at the end of the month to set aside for travel. Don’t worry, Roomlala is here to help: plan when you want to host someone and set the price according to your budget goals. Be a little patient, and it will be achieved in no time.

Slow down at work

The daily grind… The days go by and often feel the same; they’re pleasant, sure, but you realize that life moves fast, and you don’t have time for your own projects, the ones you dreamed of doing. So slow down: with Roomlala, give yourself permission to reduce your workload and compensate for the loss of income at the same time. You decide everything: date, price, duration… Now all you have to do is perfect your project.

A mutually beneficial exchange

With rental prices rising, it’s getting harder and harder to find housing in big cities. So, make a mutually beneficial exchange: if the current situation worries you, know that it’s felt even more by those who have to move or commute for professional or educational reasons. By renting out a room, you’ll supplement your income while offering someone the opportunity to find affordable housing!
