By Claire Morel 09/10/2026

Shared housing: share more than just the rent

Shared housing has become the preferred way to live for students and young professionals in major cities. The principle is simple: everyone rents their own room in a shared apartment or house, and common areas as well as utility costs are shared among roommates. The result: lower rent, more spacious and better-located housing than what you could afford on your own, and less lonely daily life.

Finding the right shared housing

Successful shared housing depends as much on the home as it does on the people living there. Take the time to chat with your future roommates or with the host: lifestyles, remote work, whether you'll be there on weekends or not, how chores are split up... The Roomlala messaging system allows you to talk for free before committing, and verified profiles as well as reviews help you get a solid idea of what to expect even before the viewing.

Big cities, campuses and beyond

From Paris to Lille, from Lyon to Toulouse, to Bordeaux, Rennes or Montpellier, the selection of rooms for rent in shared housing follows the map of universities, schools, and job markets. You can find everything from lively student shared housing to quieter shared housing for young professionals, available on a standard lease or for just a few months — convenient for an internship, a temporary contract, or a gap year.

Secure online booking, included insurance, and support from Roomlala allow you to move in with peace of mind, whether you are looking for a room or offering one that is becoming available in your shared home.

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 visit or ask questions before booking online.
What is the cost of a room in shared housing?
Rent varies depending on the city and the size of the accommodation. Shared housing allows you to significantly reduce housing costs, as utilities and household appliances are shared between housemates.
What is the difference between shared housing and coliving?
Shared housing is a traditional living arrangement where tenants share a home. Coliving adds extra services (housekeeping, furnished common areas, and a community of residents) with a more flexible structure, similar to a hotel experience.
Is a guarantor required for shared housing?
This depends on the host. On Roomlala, each host sets their own requirements: some may ask for a guarantor or supporting documents, while others may not. Feel free to chat 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 well-suited for a semester or a full academic year.
