CIN regulations in Italy: Why long-term room rentals are appealing to hosts in late 2026

By Claire Morel 24/09/2026

Since 1 January 2026, the Italian property landscape has undergone a major transformation that has disrupted the habits of thousands of hosts. The strict application of the new regulations surrounding the CIN Italy 2026 (Codice Identificativo Nazionale) has brought the euphoria of short-term tourist rentals to a halt. Faced with increasingly heavy administrative constraints, drastic safety standards, and increased tax pressure, many landlords are legitimately seeking more peaceful and profitable...

2027 rent cap in British Columbia: Renting a room to combat inflation

By Claire Morel 23/09/2026

Inflation continues to weigh heavily on Canadian household budgets, and property owners are not spared.

It is within this tense context that the government's long-awaited announcement regarding the 2027 BC rent increase comes into play. At Roomlala, we know how crucial it is for you, as hosts, to find viable solutions to make your property profitable ...

Rise in rental costs in Switzerland (Winter 2026): Renting out a room to balance your budget

By Claire Morel 22/09/2026

Winter 2026 is knocking at our doors, and with it, a major concern for many households: paying energy bills. While snowy landscapes are part of our country's charm, the cost of heating our homes has become a real financial headache. Faced with bills that continue to weigh on purchasing power, more and more tenants are looking for long-term solutions. At Roomlala, we are observing a strong and pragmatic trend: taking in a flatmate or a student to share the costs. But how do you go about it in pra...

Student accommodation shortage in Belgium in 2026: Homestay, the community-minded alternative

By Claire Morel 22/09/2026

The 2026 academic year is once again shaping up to be a source of anxiety for thousands of Belgian and international students. Finding student accommodation in Brussels, Liège, or Louvain-la-Neuve has become a real battle. Faced with ever-growing demand and a completely saturated supply of traditional 'kots' (student rooms), young people and their parents are often left feeling helpless. At Roomlala, we are convinced that there are human, affordable, and secure solutions to overcome this unprece...

2027 Finance Bill and furnished rentals: What hosts need to know this autumn

By Claire Morel 19/09/2026

Autumn is here, and with it comes the traditional flurry of budget debates in Parliament. This year, discussions surrounding the Finance Bill are raising many questions among hosts. Indeed, the 2027 Finance Bill for furnished rentals is at the heart of concerns for those who rent out part of their main residence. At Roomlala, we know how complex and stressful tax matters can seem. That is why we have decided to break down the challenges of this 2027 budget for you. Our goal? To reassure you, inf...

Homestay: a different way to stay, for less

Renting a homestay means settling into a private room in an individual's home, while sharing living spaces like the kitchen or the lounge. This arrangement, the friendly forerunner to shared housing, is enjoying a real revival: it addresses rising rents, the shortage of student accommodation, and the desire for a more human way of living.

Who is a homestay for?

It is the preferred solution for students and apprentices, who find furnished accommodation that is immediately available and much cheaper than a studio. Interns and young professionals appreciate its flexibility: you can rent for a month or for a year, without the hassle of buying furniture. Employees on business trips see it as a warm alternative to a hotel, and seniors who offer a room gain a supplementary income and a reassuring presence—this is the very spirit of intergenerational cohabitation.

A stay that changes everything

Living in a homestay also means benefiting from the advice of a host who knows their city, improving in a foreign language on a daily basis, and arriving in an unknown city without feeling alone. Utilities are generally included in the rent, the accommodation is equipped, and moving in often just comes down to a handshake.

With verified listings, reviews left by previous tenants, and secure online booking, Roomlala supports hosts and tenants every step of the way, all over France and Europe.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a homestay?
Renting a homestay means occupying a private room in a private individual's home, with shared access to common areas (kitchen, bathroom, etc.). It is an affordable and friendly solution, ideal for both short and long stays.
How much does a homestay cost?
The rent depends on the city, the neighbourhood and the included services. A homestay is generally significantly cheaper than an equivalent studio apartment, as utilities are most often included.
What is the difference between a homestay and shared housing?
In a homestay, you live with the host or the primary tenant who resides on the premises. In shared housing, you share the property with other flatmates, usually without the host present.
Who is eligible to rent a homestay?
Students, apprentices, interns, young professionals, employees on the move, or travellers: homestay is suitable for anyone looking for furnished, flexible, and affordable accommodation.
How do I book a homestay on Roomlala?
Contact the host for free via the listing to discuss the terms, then book online. Verified profiles, reviews from previous tenants and secure payment ensure you can rent with complete peace of mind.
