A safer, smarter way to find compatible housemates. RoomThere connects responsible graduate students and young professionals with seniors who have extra space, fostering security, companionship, and a win-win for everyone.
Whether you're a senior seeking companionship, an adult child looking for a safe solution, or a grad student searching for affordable housing.
Connect with confidence using our secure messaging and optional third-party background checks. Your safety is our priority.
Flexible living arrangements where homeowners can offer reduced rent for light help, creating value for both parties.
End isolation without losing independence. Enjoy companionship and meaningful connections in a community-focused environment.
Tell your story. Describe your home or what you're looking for in a housemate arrangement. Note if you are looking for help around the house.
Browse profiles and use secure messaging to connect with potential matches. See which renters have already passed background checks.
Work directly with your match to create a rental agreement and move-in date that works for both of you.
While not mandatory, we strongly recommend that all users complete a third-party background check through our trusted partner, Authenticate.com. Profiles indicate when a check has been completed with a "Verified" badge. You can also request that an applicant (or homeowner) gets a background check.
To ensure maturity and compatibility, our platform is exclusively for graduate students and young professionals. We do not accept undergraduate students.
Absolutely not. RoomThere is designed for community and mutual support, not medical care. Renters are housemates, and any help is entirely optional and agreed upon in advance, never medical in nature.
RoomThere is a connection service. Once you've found a match, you will work directly with them to sign a rental agreement and arrange payments. We recommend consulting a legal professional for your lease.
There are no fees to list or search for a room. Participating on RoomThere is completely free.
