Listing your room is simple! Just head to the "List Your Room" section, and fill out the details like location, rent, and availability. Upload some photos, hit "Post," and your listing will be live. You're now ready to start getting interest from potential renters!
It's all about being clear and honest! Mention stuff like the room's size, what's included (furniture, internet, etc.), any rules, description of their future flatmates and nearby spots like cafes or bus stops. People love knowing what they're getting, so be specific to attract the right renters.
Add great photos, especially of the room and common areas, and write a friendly, welcoming description. Share any unique perks too, like a backyard, close transport, or cool roommates—anything that'll catch someone's eye.
When you get a request, check out their profile, and if you're interested, reply promptly and politely. Answer their questions, share any extra details, and set up a time to meet if you want. It's a good way to find someone who fits.
Yep, you can! Just go to the edit rooms page, click "Edit" to update any details, or "Delete" if it's no longer available. Keeping your listing up to date helps avoid confusion with potential renters.
Just head to the "Create Profile" section, fill in some basic info about yourself in the about section, add a bio, add your social media handles, and upload a photo. The more info you add, the more you'll stand out. Once done, your profile will be ready for connecting with potential roommates or hosts.
Be genuine! Share your interests, lifestyle, occupation, interests and anything else that tells your future flatmates who you really are. The more you share, the easier it'll be to find a good match.
Absolutely. You can update your profile anytime, whether it's changing your bio, updating your photo, or tweaking your preferences. Keeping it current helps people get the real picture of who you are.
A profile picture makes you more approachable and trustworthy. It gives people a sense of who you are, so try to pick a friendly, clear photo. It doesn't have to be fancy—just something that shows the real you!
Once you've agreed on everything with the landlord, they'll send over the contract. You can download it, read it over to check the rent, dates, and other important terms, and then re-upload it with your signature. This way, both you and the landlord have a copy of the signed contract, all sorted through the platform!
Deposits are usually required, but it's totally up to you and the landlord to agree on the amount and payment method. Chat with them using the platform's messaging system to finalise deposit details, so you're both clear on how it'll work. Once agreed upon, you're set to secure the room.
Once your contract and deposit are sorted, you and the landlord can agree on the move-in date. Use the platform's messaging system to work out details like key pick-up and arrival times. This keeps everything in one place and makes sure everyone's on the same page for a smooth move-in.
To stay updated on any new messages or requests, head to your "Settings" on the platform. Under "Notifications," you'll see options to turn on alerts for messages, room notifications, or our Newsletter. Once enabled, you'll get notified whenever someone reaches out or shows interest in your listing!
If you're getting too many alerts or want a break, you can easily turn notifications off. Go to "Settings," then "Notifications," and toggle off messages, room notifications, or our Newsletter. You'll stay connected without constant pings!
Paying rent is simple on Flatties! You'll pay directly to the landlord (the person renting the room) each week. It's a good idea to set up an automatic payment through your bank to ensure you never miss a due date. Just agree on the payment method with your landlord—whether it's a bank transfer, cash, or something else—and keep track of your payments to stay organized!
When it's time to pay your bond, you'll also pay this directly to the landlord. Discuss the amount and payment method with them to ensure everything is clear. Setting up an automatic payment through your bank for the bond can also help you manage your finances more easily. Just remember to keep a record of your bond payment for both your and the landlord's peace of mind.
Yes! Flatties is completely free, there are no hidden fees. We are able to host the site for free so we don't need to charge anything.
