I am not saying that roomies is a bad company. I am saying that one of the people running a room on there is a real weirdo! If you happen to go on this website and come across a listing by John Wagner do not do it! Unless of course you want somebody coming in your room whenever they want to harassing you and making your life miserable! He has it listed under Leo and Remi's room so be very careful!
It's a great place to post a spare room for free. The actual process of posting a listing is fairly easy.
Within a couple of days, I had 8-10 responses.
Thanks for using Roomies, I got two great tenants from this site. In the future I will be using this site.
Thanks
Find your room and roomy at roomies app don't waste time with googling your searching and lose your goal put yourself on roomies and let them help
Being without a stable residence can be daunting so it's good to know that roomies is Go and not just show. I've been familiar with them for a year & they will now be partially to credit for my last two lovely living situations.
Roomies is a great space that helped me rent my rooms. Thank u Roomies
I met responsible people to become part of my house which is difficult to do. Did i mention its free?
I legitimately signed up because I desperately need a room as rentals are scarce and rents have been grossly escalated. I was forced out of my place due to high rents and no maintenance or repairs, plus we were faced with 13 pages of addendums which was a totally comply or get out ultimatum. One place wanted $675 in advance as a cleaning fee in case we skip out during the night. Others are forcing renters to set up e- funds transfers from our bank accounts to pay rent, no other options, so next time we have a disaster, you may not eat but they'll have your rent payment. So anyways in light of the current situation, I expect posters to be honest and prompt. If your listing is still up but you already have a roomie, be considerate and take down your posting. If someone inquired about your spot and it's no longer available, be courteous and say so, don't leave them hanging waiting for a response. On 3 separate occasions, I have not gotten a response. This is discourteous and you shouldn't be allowed to post if you can't respond to inquiries. It's the posters' responsibility to remove the add so do so when it is no longer available. Plain and simple- a little respect. People don't like to be toyed with.
They suck this place is ridiculous every single listing is not available you can't get ahold of a single person to show you anything do anything this website should be boycotted
I like the Roomies platform for the integration of their background check and ability to communicate to prospect roomies.
Even though I found my new place on Craigslist, Roomies gave me more options and made finding a place less stressful. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to rent a room :)
Roomies is a very good platform that demands for more visibility. Many people will benefit from roomies if they did some marketing. And a lot of improvement is required. Good initiative regardless.
I found last year a roommate who stayed 13 months with us, a hardworking, decent guy, his stay worked out fine, but a lot of recent roommates who contacted us to rent room are not compatible, that is not Roomies.com's fault. Thank you Roomies, you are doing a good job! We recommend you to everyone.
It's a job in itself weeding out the scammers, but once you find legitimate people, this resource is clutch. Saved my lady and I from being homeless.
The response was great and I am very happy with the gal who rented the room Paid 6 months in advance
I have been successful in finding good roommates for my place and so I do recommend people using roomies. I have used them several times. Try them.
As a person who is trying to find housmates to rent my extra rooms, Roomies.com seems to attract nice inteligent pople who are looking for a place to live. It is nice not to have to answer questions where the information has already been clearly stated in the posting (as frequently occurs on other sites. Thank you ROOMIES.COM.
Easy to use website. Nice layout. The best part is that it is free unlike other roomate websites out there.
Excellent experience in finding the perfect roomie. Appreciated the resources provided to find the best tenant including background check, renters agreement, etc.
Over the weekend, I messaged a woman with a strange name, let's just call her "dolphin," looking for a roommate, and after 2.5 days, I had still heard nothing back, despite seeing she was online. I messaged her again to let her know she should've responded in that time. Then she called me a $#*!, which was weird because she was in her 30s, so like, act your age. So, in short, I don't like the website. The only people who have messaged me requesting to live with me are creepy old men & the aforementioned $#*!, dolphin.
I found my new roommate on this site. It is safe and secure. About half of the people I messaged didn't reply but you'll run into that on any site. I found 2 potential roommates on this site and one worked out and we move into our new place. I would recommend this site to anyone looking to rent a room or find a roommate!
Answer: Legit. It does offer a place for roommates to find someone to share an apartment or a house
Answer: Hi Kathleen, Credit checks are generally completed within 24 hours. Background checks can vary depending on the county courthouse. Some users experience a faster turnaround, and others may experience longer delays. Most do receive their results within 3-5 days. Hope this helps, The Roomies Team
Answer: Hi Kathleen, Thank you for your inquiry. There are two ways users can initiate background checks. Option 1. A person can purchase the check and assign it to a potential roommate. The potential roommate can then submit their information and they will both receive the report once completed. Option 2. The person completing the background check can purchase and submit their info. (This can be either the person posting a room or a potential renter). Once the check is completed, they can share the report with others. At the moment, our credit checks can only be initiated by the person who wants to complete them. Keep in mind that some potential renters may also request that the person renting a room have a credit check or background check completed if they will be living in the home. I hope this answers your question. If you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our support team via email at hello@roomies.com. All the best, The Roomies Team
Answer: I was on a lot of different rooms for rent apartments for rent a lot of different apps. It's super frustrating roomies was really easy to use it was user friendly. Just put in what you're looking for and it will bring up matches for you at the same time you do have to be careful cuz sometimes there's scam artists out there
Answer: Nothing, in fact I used it in conjunction with other sites to further broaden my search for a place to stay. And although I didn't find it through Roomies in the end, I still had a pleasant experience—and made some new friends along the way!
