CIN code and tourist rentals in Italy: The comeback of student leases for 2026

11/06/2026

Italian hosts, the tide has turned in 2026. If you were accustomed to renting out your home or a room for short stays to passing tourists, you have likely felt the impact of the new regulations. Between the strict obligation of the CIN (Codice Identificativo Nazionale) code and the explosion in taxation on seasonal rentals, managing a tourist accommodation now resembles a real obstacle course. At Roomlala, we observe the challenges you face every day. That is why we want to talk to you about an ...

Student housing crisis in Italy: Shared housing as a solution to high rents in 2026

05/06/2026

Finding student accommodation in Italy has never been a smooth path, but in 2026, the search has become a real endurance test. The caro affitti (high rent) phenomenon is hitting the peninsula's major university cities hard. Faced with soaring prices and shrinking supply, fuori sede students and their families are left feeling overwhelmed. At Roomlala, we have analysed this unprecedented crisis to help you see things more clearly. Above all, we are guiding you towards the safest and most economic...

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.
