How RentBee works

Whether you're looking for a room, letting one or looking for someone to share with, it takes a few simple steps.

Looking for a room

  1. Search

    Pick a city and set your budget, area and must-haves. Switch to the map to see where each place is.

  2. Shortlist

    Save the places you like so you can come back to them later.

  3. Message the owner

    Sign in and ask your questions through RentBee. Your email stays private and you decide when to share your phone number.

  4. Arrange a viewing

    Agree on a time and place directly with the owner in your conversation.

  5. Agree and move in

    Never pay before you've seen the place. Put the terms in writing with our free rental templates.

Letting a room or a flat

  1. Create a free account

    Sign up and confirm your email address.

  2. Post your listing

    Add photos, the rent, deposit and bills, and who already lives there. Pin the place on the map: visitors see the area, not your exact address.

  3. Reply to messages

    Answer messages on RentBee and open each person’s profile to see who they are.

  4. Choose who moves in

    Meet people in person, then agree the terms in writing with our rental templates.

  5. Close the listing

    Once the room is taken, archive the listing from My listings so it leaves the search results.

Looking for a roommate

  1. Fill in your profile

    Add a photo, a few lines about yourself and lifestyle tags such as non-smoker, early riser or pet-friendly.

  2. Post a “room wanted”

    Share your budget, preferred neighbourhoods and move-in date so people with a room can find you and write first.

  3. Browse people

    Filter by city and lifestyle, and check the match score to see who fits.

  4. Say hello

    Message the people you like, meet up and take it from there.
