Coliving is like the cool cousin of traditional renting. It’s a modern way to live, where you share a fully furnished space with others and enjoy perks like flexible lease terms, utilities included, and a built-in sense of community. Think less “landlord hassles” and more “welcome home.”
Booking a room is easy! Start by browsing our available spaces on our website, where you can find detailed information about the apartments and your potential roommates. Once you’ve found the perfect fit, choose your lease term and move in date and click "Apply Now" on the listing, complete the application, and submit any required documents. Our team will review your application and guide you through the next steps to secure your room.
Because life’s too short to deal with Craigslist drama and Ikea assembly instructions. Coliving gives you a move-in-ready home with thoughtful design, flexible timelines, and people who might just become your next brunch squad. Plus, you can focus on chasing dreams instead of chasing late utility payments.
Our application process is designed to be simple and streamlined. After selecting your desired room, you’ll fill out an online application and provide necessary documents such as proof of income or guarantor details. From there, our team will review your application and notify you of the next steps. It’s all about getting you settled quickly and efficiently!
We don’t directly match residents with roommates, but we will assist individuals in choosin an apartment based off roommate preferences if that is important to them. Our application process is designed to focus on attracting great members, so if you’ve been approved, that’s a testament to the quality of your potential roommate. If you have specific preferences, let us know, and we’ll do our best to accommodate. You can also check out the roommate details listed on the apartment pages for more insight.
Your potential roommates are individuals who share similar living preferences and values. We aim to match people who will get along well and create a comfortable living environment. For more specific details about your potential roommates, you can reach out to us directly or view the apartment listings on our website.
Coliving costs vary depending on the location, room type, and amenities, but it’s often more affordable than renting a traditional apartment in NYC when you factor in included utilities, furniture, and Wi-Fi. Reach out for specific pricing and options that fit your budget.
When applying, you’ll owe a one-time service fee, an initial payment of your first month’s rent, and a security deposit equal to one month’s rent. After that, it’s simple: pay your total monthly rent on the 1st of each month. Additional charges only apply if something goes wrong (like damage to the property). We keep it straightforward, so you can focus on enjoying your new home!
Of course! We’re all about flexibility, and that extends to couples too. Couple options are specific to our studio and one bedroom options. Whether you’re cohabitating pros or just starting your journey, we have spaces that are perfect for two.
From private rooms with your own bathroom to shared spaces that keep things budget-friendly, we’ve got a range of options to match your lifestyle. Think of it as your home, your way.
Our members are as diverse as NYC itself—interns, remote workers, creatives, and adventurers from all over the world. The common thread? They’re tired of the traditional rental grind and want the freedom to live on their own terms.
From private rooms with en-suite bathrooms to shared spaces with communal vibes, we’ve got something for everyone. Whether you’re a social butterfly or need your alone time, there’s a setup that fits your vibe.
Flexibility, community, and convenience, to name a few. You get a fully furnished space, utilities included, and a support team that’s got your back. Oh, and no dealing with awkward roommate interviews—because we’ve already done the hard work for you.
Renting a traditional apartment often feels like signing up for a part-time job: paperwork, furniture shopping, utility setup, and the never-ending maintenance headaches. Coliving, on the other hand, is plug-and-play. Fully furnished spaces, utilities included, flexible leases—everything’s ready so you can just move in and start living.
No, subletting your room directly or via third-party platforms is not permitted.

Not exactly! While we share some similarities with standard residential applications, our process is tailored to make renting simpler and more accessible. We focus on flexibility and convenience, eliminating many of the hurdles you might find in a traditional rental process.
Once you’ve submitted your application, our team will review it and verify your documents. If everything checks out, you’ll receive an approval email with instructions to secure your booking. From there, we’ll send your lease for finalization. If anything is missing, such as documents or a guarantor, don’t worry—we’ll reach out to guide you through completing the process. If your application is denied, we’ll refund your service fee. Our goal is to make the process as smooth and transparent as possible!
Once your application is approved, your lease is signed and the initial payment is completed, you’ll receive a comprehensive move-in email with all the important details, including your move-in instructions. This email will include your access information, as most apartments are equipped with keypads or smart locks. Move-ins typically occur at 3 PM or later on your scheduled move-in date, or in the days following. Our team is available to answer any last-minute questions to ensure your transition goes smoothly.
In most cases, you can move in shortly after your lease is signed, but we recommend allowing time for cleaning and prepping the space. Your official move-in date will be confirmed once your application is processed.
If you need to move in earlier than your official lease start date, reach out to our team. Depending on availability, we may be able to accommodate your request. We'll work with you to find the best solution.
No worries! You can move in anytime after your 3 PM move-in time, but we strongly recommend doing so during regular hours of the day to ensure everything goes smoothly. If you're planning to arrive late, we suggest emailing your roommates to let them know your arrival time.
Renters insurance is required for all residents. We highly recommend using Lemonade, as it’s an easy-to-use and effective option for protecting your personal belongings and covering liability.
For the application, we ask for income documents (such as pay stubs, invoices, letter of employment, savings, etc.) as well as documents like recent bank statements. We’ll also need a government-issued photo ID or passport to verify your identity.
We do not require a guarantor, but if you’re an international applicant or your financial or credit situation requires one, we accept individuals (domestic or international) to act as guarantors.
If you're not from the USA and don't have an SSN or credit history, no worries! We offer alternative options and work with international applicants by reviewing other types of documents, including bank statements, savings, or income from your home country.
We do not accept co-signers, but we do accept individuals (domestic or international) as guarantors. If your financial or credit situation requires a guarantor, just let us know during your application, and we’ll guide you through the process.
No SSN? No problem! International applicants are more than welcome at Roomrs. You don’t need an SSN to apply, and we also accept both international and domestic guarantors. If you’re using an international guarantor, they won’t need an SSN either. Our goal is to make the application process easy and inclusive for everyone, no matter where you’re from.
Our rooms are typically listed 60–75 days before they become available. If you're planning your move, feel free to apply as early as you see a room you love! Keep an eye on our website for the most up-to-date availability to snag your perfect spot before someone else does.
When a room says "Occupied Until," it indicates the current member's scheduled move-out date. However, please note that they have the option to renew their lease, which could affect availability.
To help streamline the application process, we recommend providing documents such as:
However, we understand that everyone's financial situation is unique. We're flexible and happy to review a wide range of income documents, including invoices, savings account statements, trust fund details, cryptocurrency holdings, 401(k) statements, and more.

We aim to provide a flexible application process. The typical financial requirements include: Annual income ≥ 40x the total monthly rent. A credit score of ≥ 700 with no derogatory marks.If these don’t apply to you, don’t worry! We also work with: Applicants with international or domestic guarantors who earn ≥ 80x the monthly rent. International applicants without a U.S. credit score or SSN, provided they have proof of sufficient income or a guarantor.We evaluate applications holistically, so even if you don’t meet every requirement, we encourage you to apply. If your application isn’t approved, your service fee will be refunded.
No, you cannot pay your rental costs upfront. In NYC, it’s both standard practice and ethical to ensure rent is paid on a monthly basis. This approach aligns with local regulations and ensures fairness for all members. We ask everyone to follow this monthly payment structure.

This ensures a smooth process and helps us match you with your ideal space. If you have any questions or need guidance, our team is always here to help!

While our apartments are co-ed by default, some may naturally become all-male or all-female depending on current members. If you’d prefer to live in an apartment with roommates of a specific gender, let us know how we can help, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your preference.
Renewing your lease is simple! About 60–75 days before your lease ends, we’ll reach out to discuss your plans. If you decide to renew, we’ll provide an updated lease agreement for you to sign. Want to upgrade to a new room or apartment? Let us know, and we’ll help you explore available options.

We keep it flexible—just like our spaces. We accept most major credit and debit cards, so you can pay how it’s easiest for you.
The minimum stay is typically three months, but we’re all about flexibility. Whether you need a quick place or a longer-term home base, we can accommodate your timeline.

After that, you’re good to go—just pay your monthly rent on the 1st of each month. Simple, transparent, no surprises.
We require a security deposit equal to one month’s total rent to cover any potential damage or issues during your stay. Don’t worry, though—if you take care of your space, you’ll get that deposit back when you move out.
If you’d prefer a deposit-free option, we’ve got you covered. Ask about our deposit-free rent option during the application process, and we’ll walk you through the details to make it happen.
Life happens, but if you miss a rent payment, we’ll work with you to get things sorted. However, if a payment is delayed, there may be late fees, so it’s always best to pay on time to avoid extra charges.
Your rent is due on the 1st of each month. We keep things simple, so you always know when to pay, and there’s no confusion.

We don’t offer month-to-month leases, but we do give you the flexibility to renew your lease for a minimum of one month. If you're looking to extend your stay, just reach out to us and we'll be happy to discuss your options!

Yes, rent is pro-rated if you move in after the 1st of the month. However, we require an upfront payment of one month’s total rent at the start of your lease. The prorated amount will then be applied to your second month’s rent with us. Pro-ration is calculated as follows (Total monthly rent x 12 months ÷ 365 days) x the number of days stayed in the first month.
No broker’s fee is required! At Roomrs, we aim to provide a straightforward and cost-effective rental experience without the added expense of broker fees.
