Turn your spare 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 gathering dust and basically serving as a storage space? Why not turn those rooms into a source of extra income? Those closed-off rooms that you rarely go into could be opened up again, allowing you to easily boost your monthly budget. And it won't require a huge effort: just a good spring clean, some clean bed sheets, and a warm welcome!

Fill your empty nest

After three years of hustle and bustle, your nest has become very quiet... And yes: the children have left, your partner is still working hard, and you sometimes find yourself a bit lonely in that lovely family home. Never mind: bring back a bit of commotion and atmosphere. Re-open Nicolas and Marie's bedrooms to a few students who will be happy to occupy them, and perhaps even create a little bit of mess.

Meet new people

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

Learn a new language

Do you need to improve your English? But when is the best time to do it, and at what cost? With work, children, and all the existing obligations, it is difficult to find the time to get back into English, even when you know it is necessary. It is easy: with Roomlala, you can offer yourself an immersive experience at home. Welcome a native speaker of the language you want to learn, and improve your conversation skills. Yes, you can combine learning with an additional source of income!

A remedy for economic hardship

With the current economic climate, we are paying more and more attention to our wallets: concerns about the future, rising prices, worries for the children... Any expense is a source of stress. Obviously, with the gloomy figures reported on the news every night, it is difficult to feel confident again. Roomlala is one of those remedies that can help you forget those worries and look to the future more positively. Yes, because your home can become a constant source of income, unaffected by the economic crisis... So open the doors of your home, and your small business will no longer be affected by the crisis!

Finance your little luxuries

A handbag, a mobile phone, a shirt, a tablet, a gourmet dinner, a quality watch... Everyone has their own little luxuries. You might feel guilty when you give in to them, but you want them so much when you see them in a shop window! Often one-off, these luxuries don't justify specific savings or a dip into the joint bank account... But should you give up these little pleasures? No, just find another way to fund them: Roomlala! By listing one of your rooms for rent, you can treat yourself almost as much as you like...

Finance a home renovation

We live in, maintain, clean, and pay the bills for our home... But when it comes to financing a major renovation, whether it is essential or just for comfort, how do you do it? The cash flow isn't always there when you need to pay for quotes, materials, and labour. Anticipate or offset these costs by opening one of your rooms to rent. This way, the renovation will no longer be a source of stress; it will be a great opportunity to spruce up your home!

Finance the expenses of your second home

Like 10% of people, you may own a second home. And as with many, it generates numerous expenses: property tax, boiler, plumbing, roofing, general maintenance, electricity... It is a hard pill to swallow, especially when you only go there a few weeks a year. The rest of the time, the house costs money without bringing any in! By opening the guest room of your main residence to rent, or even by occasionally renting out your second home, you can cover all the charges related to the latter. And enjoy a country house that costs you nothing!

Pay your bills

Property or council taxes, gas or electricity bills, maintenance charges, or a simple repair... When you live in an apartment, you often plan for fixed costs, but certainly not for rising bills or an unexpected accident. Sometimes, what you have to pay piles up, without knowing how to settle it. Well, Roomlala allows you to anticipate or simply pay those bills without straining your budget: just list a room for rent for the year, the month, or the weekend according to your needs, and no longer feel stressed by the mail!

Finance your holiday trip

A week at a spa, a weekend in Rome, a cruise in the Mediterranean, ten days in New York... These are just some of the trips that many dream of. And yet, once all the mandatory expenses are paid, there is often not much left at the end of the month to set aside for a trip. Never mind, Roomlala is here to help: plan the times when you want to host someone and set the price according to your project. Be patient, it will be achieved soon.

Ease up on work

Commute, work, sleep... The days go by, often similar, and while pleasant, you realise that life moves fast and you don't have time for your own projects—the ones you dreamed of pursuing. So take a step back: with Roomlala, give yourself permission to reduce your activity and compensate for the loss of income at the same time. You decide everything: date, price, duration... Now all you have to do is refine your project.

Exchange of good practices

Rents have risen significantly in recent years. Add to this rise the economic climate, which puts pressure on wages, and you will know that it is increasingly difficult to find housing in large cities. So, make an exchange of good practices: if the situation worries you, know that it is felt more acutely by those who have to move or commute for professional or educational reasons. By renting out a room, you will supplement your income while providing someone with the opportunity to find accommodation at a lower cost!
