Regulation of 2026 holiday rentals in Spain: The guide for hosts

By Claire Morel 10/09/2026

The year 2026 marks a decisive turning point for the Spanish property market and for you, as hosts. To counter abuses linked to temporary leases and regulate a market in the midst of change, the Spanish government has drastically tightened control over the 2026 seasonal rental. If you are used to renting out a room or an entire home for a few months, many rules have changed. Gone is the myth of the 11-month contract that automatically protected the landlord: today, the law requires concrete proo...

New short-term rental rules in Quebec in 2026: Why choose long-term room rentals

By Claire Morel 09/09/2026

Faced with the continuous and unprecedented tightening of rules surrounding Airbnb-style rentals, many Quebec homeowners now find themselves at a crossroads. For several years, the provincial government and municipalities have been tightening the net around tourist accommodation to protect the residential housing stock. At the start of the 2026 school year, the strict application of the 2026 Quebec tourist accommodation law completely reshuffled the deck for amateur hosts.At Roomlala, we see dai...

The year 2026 marks a decisive and unprecedented turning point for Alojamento Local 2026 (AL).

2026 property tax: How renting out a room in your homestay can help reduce the bill

By Claire Morel 06/09/2026

Autumn often brings the start of the new academic year, falling temperatures, but also the dreaded arrival of tax assessments. From the end of August 2026, many homeowners will discover the amount of their 2026 property tax. And this year again, the bill promises to be steep with another widespread increase. Faced with this growing tax burden, it is only natural to look for sustainable solutions to preserve your purchasing power. At Roomlala, we support thousands of hosts every day who have foun...

Student tenancy agreement in Wallonia: Essential rules for renting a room in 2026

By Claire Morel 06/09/2026

With the start of the academic year in full swing, a sense of excitement is felt by both young people searching for their future nest and hosts preparing their properties. At Roomlala, we know just how stressful this period can be. Renting a student room in Belgium, and particularly in Wallonia, involves navigating a specific and sometimes complex legal framework. There are many questions: what is the legal duration? How do you handle an early departure? What are the limits of the security depos...

Homestay: a different, more affordable way to find accommodation

Renting a homestay means settling into a private room within an individual's home, while sharing living areas such as the kitchen or living room. This arrangement, the friendly forerunner of 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 life.

Who is homestay accommodation for?

It is the preferred solution for students and apprentices, who find furnished accommodation that is immediately available and much cheaper than a studio flat. Interns and young professionals appreciate its flexibility: you can rent for a month or a year, without the hassle of buying furniture. Employees travelling for work see it as a warm alternative to a hotel, and seniors who offer a room gain both extra income and a reassuring presence — this is the very essence 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 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 fully equipped, and moving in often comes down to a handshake.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a homestay?
Renting a homestay means occupying a private room in an individual's home, with shared access to common areas (kitchen, bathroom, etc.). It is an economical and friendly solution, ideal for short or long stays.
How much does a homestay cost?
The rent depends on the city, the neighbourhood, and the amenities included. A homestay generally costs significantly less than an equivalent studio flat, with utility bills most often included.
What is the difference between a homestay and shared housing?
In a homestay, you stay with the host or the primary tenant who lives on the premises. In shared housing, you share the property with other housemates, usually without the host present.
Who is eligible to rent a homestay?
Students, apprentices, interns, young professionals, mobile employees, or travellers: a 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 guarantee you a booking with complete peace of mind.
