SpareRoom

SpareRoom's U.S. service helps people find rooms, roommates, sublets, and shared apartments. Visitors can choose a room or roommate search, enter an area or ZIP code, and browse city pages such as New York or Los Angeles.

People offering a room can advertise it, while prospective housemates can post a room-wanted ad. Account features include contacting advertisers and saving ads or searches. The site also publishes information about shared housing, deposits, and fair housing. Availability, rent, and household arrangements come from the individual listing, so users should discuss the details with its advertiser before making an agreement.
