New rent indexation rules in Wallonia: What changes for shared housing in 2026

Do you share a large house in Namur or a cosy apartment in Liège? Whether you are a host or a tenant in shared housing, the question of rent indexation comes up every year. At Roomlala, we know how stressful and confusing this subject can be, especially following recent energy reforms. In 2026, the Walloon rental landscape has well and truly digested previous crises, but the rules left in their wake continue to dictate the law. Between the famous EPC (Energy Performance Certificate), the correct...

Regulations in British Columbia: The long-term room rental boom in 2026

In this year of 2026, the real estate landscape of British Columbia has permanently changed its face. Faced with a persistent housing crisis and rampant inflation, the provincial government has taken strong action to regulate the rental market. Gone are the days when any host could turn their flat into a transient hotel without accountability. Today, regulations have tightened considerably, reshaping opportunities for both investors and individuals. At Roomlala, we are observing a profound shift...

Student housing shortage in Switzerland: The golden rules of subletting in 2026

Every year, as the start of the university term approaches, it is the same trial. Finding student accommodation in Switzerland has become a real endurance test. At Roomlala, we are observing this situation closely: between 2022 and 2024, the overall supply of rental housing fell by 18% in the Swiss territory. Faced with this alarming shortage, a solidarity-based and pragmatic solution has emerged with force: subletting. Indeed, subletting listings have jumped by 42% over the same period, becomin...

Local accommodation and high-demand areas: The new rules boosting long-term rentals in Portugal in 2026

The Portuguese property market is undergoing an unprecedented period of change in 2026. For more than a decade, Alojamento Local (AL), the system governing short-term tourist rentals, was a driver of exceptional profitability for many hosts, transforming the city centres of Lisbon, Porto, and even Faro. However, faced with an unprecedented housing crisis and local residents' frustrations over the shortage of homes, the Portuguese government has been forced to act firmly. At Roomlala, we are moni...

CROUS admission results 2026: What to do if you haven't secured student accommodation?

June 2026 has arrived, and with it, its share of expectations, hopes, and also stress for thousands of students and their parents. The famous admission results for the main allocation phase of CROUS housing are starting to come in. If you are reading these lines, it may be because the long-awaited answer was not positive, or that you are still on a waiting list. At Roomlala, we know how distressing this period can be. Finding a roof over your head for the start of the academic year is an absolut...

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.
