As the Swiss student autumn term 2026 approaches, finding accommodation becomes the absolute priority for many students and young professionals. At Roomlala, we know how stressful this period can be, particularly when it comes to managing your budget. One of the major financial hurdles remains the famous Swiss rental deposit, often required by landlords or property management agencies before the keys are handed over. Having to block the equivalent of three months' rent in a bank account is a mas...

Mobility lease 2026: The legal framework for renting your room with total flexibility

By Claire Morel 29/07/2026

With the September 2026 term approaching, finding a place to stay has become a top priority for thousands of people across France. Whether starting a new university course, beginning a final-year internship, or undertaking a temporary professional mission, the need for flexibility has never been greater. On the host side, the fear of unpaid rent and the desire to remain in control of their property sometimes discourage people from renting. This is where the 2026 mobility lease comes in. This con...

Porta 65 housing support in 2026: What young tenants and hosts need to know in Portugal

By Claire Morel 28/07/2026

Facing the unprecedented housing crisis currently hitting Portugal, finding affordable accommodation is often a daunting challenge for young professionals and students. Rents have skyrocketed, particularly in major cities. At Roomlala, we see daily the challenges you face in finding decent housing. It is against this tense backdrop that the Portuguese government has deeply revamped its flagship financial aid programme: Porta 65 Jovem 2026. This subsidy, intended to ease the burden of rent, is fi...

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.
