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...

Shared housing: share more than just rent

Shared housing has become 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 communal areas and utility costs are shared between flatmates. The result: lower rent, more spacious and better-located homes than you could afford alone, and a less lonely daily life.

Finding the right shared housing

Successful shared housing depends as much on the home as it does on the people living there. Take the time to chat with your future flatmates or the host: daily routines, working from home, whether or not you spend weekends there, chore distribution... The Roomlala messaging system allows you to chat for free before committing, and verified profiles and reviews help you get a real sense of things before even visiting.

Major cities, campuses and beyond

From Paris to Lille, Lyon to Toulouse, and via Bordeaux, Rennes or Montpellier, the range of shared rooms follows the map of universities, schools and employment hubs. You can find everything from lively student shared housing to quieter young professional ones, whether 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 mean you can move in with peace of mind, whether you are looking for a room or offering one that is becoming available in your shared house.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find shared housing on Roomlala?
Search for your city, compare shared housing listings, and 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 housemates.
What is the difference between shared housing and coliving?
Shared housing is a traditional living arrangement where tenants share a property. Coliving offers additional services (such as cleaning, furnished communal areas and a resident community) with a more flexible structure, similar to a hotel experience.
Do I need a guarantor for shared housing?
This depends on the host. On Roomlala, each host sets their own requirements: some may ask for a guarantor or supporting documents, while others do not. Feel free to discuss this directly with the host 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 durations for a semester or an academic year.
