By Claire Morel 15/10/2026

Faced with an unprecedented housing crisis, Spain, and Catalonia in particular, decided to tighten the rules at the end of 2026. The goal of these new measures is clear: to protect tenants, regulate the property market, and prevent abuses related to short-term rentals. At Roomlala, we know these legislative changes may cause concern for hosts accustomed to renting out a room or a property for a few months. That is why we have decided to break down these new regulations for you to provide reassur...

By Claire Morel 13/10/2026

2026 Mobility lease: The strategic refuge for hosts facing new laws

By Claire Morel 10/10/2026

If you own a property in France at the end of 2026, you have almost certainly felt the legislative tremors of the last few months. Between the freefall in profitability for tourist rentals and the increasing pressure of the energy renovation schedule (DPE), renting out your property has become a real strategic headache.

Rent indexation and EPC certificates in Flanders: What changes for shared housing by the end of 2026

By Claire Morel 09/10/2026

It is late 2026, and the rental market in Belgium continues to evolve, particularly in the north of the country. If you are a host of a shared home or a tenant, you are certainly asking yourself questions about the 2026 Flanders rent indexation. After years marked by the energy crisis and emergency measures, legislation has stabilised, but it has left behind some sometimes complex calculation mechanisms. At Roomlala, we know that managing a rental or signing a lease can be a source of stress. Th...

Shared housing - Top cities

Shared housing: share more than just rent

Shared housing has established itself as the preferred way of living for students and young professionals in large cities. The principle is simple: everyone rents their own room in a shared apartment or house, and common areas as well as utility bills are split between housemates. The result: lower rent, more spacious and better-located accommodation than what you could afford on your own, and a less solitary daily life.

Finding the right shared housing

Successful shared housing depends as much on the accommodation as it does on the people living in it. Take the time to chat with your future housemates or the host: daily routines, remote work, whether you'll be around on weekends, how chores are split... The Roomlala messaging system allows you to chat for free before committing, and verified profiles as well as reviews help you get a solid idea of what to expect even before viewing the property.

Major cities, campuses and beyond

From Paris to Lille, from Lyon to Toulouse, and including Bordeaux, Rennes or Montpellier, the supply of rooms in shared housing follows the map of universities, schools and employment hubs. You can find everything from lively student shared housing to quieter shared housing for young professionals, either on a standard lease or for just a few months — practical for an internship, a fixed-term 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 the one that's becoming free in your shared house.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find shared housing on Roomlala?
Search for your city, compare shared housing listings, then contact hosts for free to arrange a viewing or ask any questions before booking online.
How much does a room in shared housing cost?
Rent varies depending on the city and the size of the property. Shared housing helps significantly reduce housing costs, as bills and amenities are shared between flatmates.
What is the difference between shared housing and coliving?
Shared housing is a standard living arrangement between tenants. Coliving adds extra services (cleaning, furnished common areas, community of residents) with a more flexible structure, similar to the hospitality industry.
Do I need a guarantor for shared housing?
That 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 with the host directly via the Roomlala messaging system.
Is shared housing suitable for students?
Yes, it is one of the preferred solutions for students and young professionals: lower rent, furnished accommodation, a friendly atmosphere and flexible lease lengths tailored to a semester or academic year.
