Turn your empty rooms into a source of extra income

Have your children flown the nest? 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 a source of extra income? These closed-off rooms, which you rarely visit, could be reopened to help you easily boost your monthly budget. And it won't take much effort: a good spring clean, some fresh bed sheets, and a warm welcome!

Fill your empty nest

After three years of hustle and bustle, your nest has become very quiet... Yes: the children have left, your partner hasn't slowed down at work, and you find yourself a bit lonely sometimes in this lovely family home. Don't worry: bring back a bit of life and atmosphere. Reopen Nicolas and Marie's old rooms to a few students who will be happy to move in, and perhaps bring a little bit of disorder with them.

Make new connections

Routine: noun. The habit of acting in the same way... Yes: apartment, partner, friends, place of residence, job... Your life is great, for sure, but a little routine-filled. So, change your habits a bit! Renting out a room via Roomlala means welcoming one, two, or three people, regularly or occasionally, with whom to share a meal or breakfast... A student, a banker, a couple from abroad... In short, it's a chance to let a bit of spontaneity into your home, and it often leads to a lovely new connection!

Learn a new language

You need to improve your English? But when, and at what cost? With work, children, and all our existing commitments, it's hard to find the time to get back into English, even though you know it's necessary. It's easy: with Roomlala, you can treat yourself to 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 the economic climate

With the current economic climate, we are watching our wallets more and more: worries about the future, rising prices, concerns for the children... Any expense is a source of stress. Of course, with the gloomy figures reported every night on the news, it's hard to stay optimistic. Roomlala is one of those remedies that can help you forget these worries and look at the future more positively. Because your home can become a constant source of income, unaffected by the wider economy... So open your doors, and your little business will never know a crisis!

Fund your little luxuries

A handbag, a mobile phone, a shirt, a tablet, a gourmet dinner, a nice watch... Everyone has their own little indulgences. We feel guilty when we give in, but we want them so much when we see them in the shop window! Often one-off, these luxuries don't justify specific savings or dipping into the household budget... But does that mean you should give up on these little pleasures? No, just find another way to fund them: Roomlala! By renting out one of your rooms, you'll be able to treat yourself almost as much as you like...

Fund a home renovation

We live in, maintain, clean, and pay the bills for our homes... But when the time comes to fund a major renovation, whether for necessity or 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 for rent. That way, the renovation will no longer be a source of stress, but rather an opportunity for a nice fresh start!

Fund the costs of your second home

Like 10% of people, you may own a second home. And as for 10% of people, it generates many expenses: property taxes, boiler, plumbing, roofing, general maintenance, electricity... It's all the harder to swallow when you only visit it for 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 for rent, or even by renting out your second home from time to time, you can fund all the costs associated with it. And have a country house that costs you nothing!

Pay your bills

Property or council taxes, gas or electricity bills, maintenance charges, or just a pipe to fix... When you own a home, you often plan for fixed costs, but certainly not for rising bills or an unexpected repair. And sometimes, what you have to pay piles up, without you really knowing how to cover it. Well, Roomlala allows you to anticipate or simply settle these bills without straining your budget: simply open a room for rent for the year, by the month, or by the weekend according to your needs, and never be stressed by another bill again!

Fund your stay when you go on holiday

A week at a spa, a weekend in Rome, a Mediterranean cruise, ten days in New York... These are just some trips that many people dream of. And yet, once all the mandatory expenses are paid, there isn't often much left at the end of the month to set aside for a holiday. Don't worry, Roomlala is here to help: plan when you want to host someone and set the price according to your goal. Be patient, and it will be achieved in no time.

Take your foot off the gas at work

Work, commute, sleep... The days go by, often the same, and while they are pleasant enough, you realise that life goes by quickly, and you don't have time for your own projects, the ones you dreamed of carrying out. So slow down: with Roomlala, give yourself permission to reduce your workload while offsetting the loss of income at the same time. You decide everything: date, price, duration... Now all you have to do is fine-tune your project.

Strike a good deal

Up 30% over the last 10 years, rental prices are only going one way. Add the economic crisis to this increase, which puts pressure on salaries, and you'll know that it is becoming increasingly difficult to find housing in large cities. So, strike a good deal: if the crisis worries you, know that it is felt more severely by those who have to move or commute for professional or educational reasons. By renting out a room, you will supplement your income while offering someone the opportunity to find accommodation at a lower cost!
