    Start your room listing

    Four practical steps

    Step 1

    Set rent, bills and availability

    Choose your weekly amount, explain what is included, and confirm the move-in date and any other costs.

    Check guide-only price context
    Step 2

    Prepare clear, current photos

    Show the bedroom, storage and shared areas honestly. Check privacy before uploading. Floor plans are optional.

    Use the photo checklist
    Step 3

    Explain the household

    Describe who shares the home and practical expectations for guests, noise, cleaning and shared costs.

    Edit a house rules template
    Step 4

    Create, review and publish

    Add your details to a private draft, check the preview and publish only when your room is ready to advertise.

    Ready to advertise your room?

    These links start a host listing, not a search for rooms. Choose and confirm your actual address inside the editor.

    Before you advertise

    Do I need to be a property owner?

    Only advertise a room you are authorised to offer. Check your agreement and obtain any permission required for your arrangement before listing.

    Can I prepare the listing before publishing?

    Yes. Start a private listing draft, add the actual room details and review it before choosing to publish.

    Are enquiries or flatmate matches guaranteed?

    No. Matesplace provides listing and communication tools. Availability, enquiries and a suitable match are not guaranteed.

    What should I check before move-in?

    Discuss the room, household, bills, inspection and written rental terms directly. Make sure both sides understand the arrangement before committing.

    Your room, clearly explained

    Use the same accurate details in your photos, listing, messages and rental terms.
