You must be logged in to contact someone looking for a room. If you are not yet registered, register for free.

Step 1 — Find a room wanted ad

Search your area and click the Flatmates tab to see room wanted ads from people looking for a room. Open a profile that looks like a good match.

Step 2 — Send a message

On their profile page, use the contact form to send them a message. They will receive an email notification.

Step 3 — Wait for a reply

When they reply you will receive an email notification. Log in and click Inbox at the top of the page to read and respond.

Tips for a good first message:

  • Describe what is included — bills, Wi-Fi, laundry, parking
  • Ask about their preferred move-in date and length of stay
