About this app

After helping over 13,000,000 people in the UK to find their perfect room or roommate, we've now come to help in the US. With our app, you can do it all while on-the-go.

Suitable for Everyone

Whether you’re starting college, relocating within or to the US, tired of living alone, weighing up what to do with an empty room, or, quite simply, searching for another roommate or roomshare, we’re the service for you.

Your Perfect Roomie

We understand that finding your perfect roommate, housemate or roomshare can be a daunting task, but it really doesn't have to be. Using the SpareRoom app, you can filter potential roommates via a range of attributes ensuring you find a perfect new housemate or roomshare! Pick from whether you want your roommate to be a professional, student or other to make sure you're both on the same page when it comes to living together. We'll even allow you to go even more granular by filtering roommates on things like 'are they vegetarian' and 'do they allow pets'.

Unrivalled Choice

With thousands of room-sharing opportunities to choose from right across the US, you’ll be able to find your perfect roommate or roomshare. We're all across the US so you can find a roommate or roomshare from NYC all the way to San Francisco.

Our Philosophy

Experience has taught us that it is as much about the people as it is about the property. To help you find the best of both, we provide unparalleled tools, choice, and support. As a result, on average, every 3 minutes someone finds a roommate through SpareRoom.

Help & Support

Our customer support team are here to help you with your search. If you require support, come across a problem, or want to provide feedback, you can get in touch by email (support@spareroom.com) or phone (1 877 834 2909).

it sucks because you only get replies or enough needed traction if you pay...and that's if you're lucky, but the payment allows people to respond to your ad or allows you to respond to majority ads that clearly fits your needs. their response is a complete lie. I have paid 2 separate times, and those were the times I got more contact and was able to contact more than 1 in 5 people. That changed when my premium ended. I've even seen my post and see how "I" am unable to contact my own listing.

Hi there, The upgrade on SpareRoom will place your ad higher in the listings, and it also makes your ad Free to Contact, which means you will gain a better response. This is the benefit of the upgraded service. If you'd like help with your advertising please contact us directly at customerservices@spareroom.com. Best wishes, The SpareRoom Team

Love! Used it to find a room for myself years ago and now use it to find tenants for the spare bedrooms in my home! Wish it let me upload more pictures, but otherwise this app is wonderful for finding roommates. The fee for early bird contacts is a bit annoying but really there are so many other posts that you're left with plenty of options, so it doesn't matter much.

Tried to use the app and set up my account, as soon as I set it up I tried to enter the app but it said I was already logged in, then took me to the log in screen. When I put my info in again it said it was incorrect. After another try it timed me out for five minutes. If this app can't even get the log in correct I can only imagine how atrocious their actual app is. I'll find someone else.

Hi Spike, we're sorry to hear you've been unable to log into your account, it does sound as though the email or password is incorrect, you can reset your password from the login screen, alternatively, you can contact us at team@spareroom.co.uk and we'd be happy to help you log in. Best wishes, The SpareRoom Team

What’s new

In this update, we've made improvements to browsing through rooms and whole apartment ads. You'll see that you can now save your favorite ads, and hide ones you’re not interested in, right from the map. We've also made a few other tweaks to make the Map screen more helpful and easier to use.
