SpacesShared matches Students looking for safe and affordable housing with Hosts who have spare bedrooms. It's a win-win!
SpacesShared is a virtual platform that allows Students looking for safe and affordable homesharing arrangements to match with Older Adult Hosts. Our priority is safety and simplicity in finding a match that feels comfortable for you. We are with you every step of the way!
SpacesShared uses a sophisticated matching algorithm and real human support staff to create a space where compatible Students and older adult Hosts interested in homesharing can match with each other. Our goal is to create connection, comfort, and community.
At SpacesShared each participant must verify their identity, email address, phone number, and must pass a criminal background check before entering into a homesharing arrangement. The SpacesShared team of real humans are there to support you throughout the process. Safety and support are our top priorities. We built this platform for our own moms to use!
The SpacesShared platform does it all! You can view your matches, see the ways in which you are compatible, chat and have video calls to get to know each other right in the platform. Using our process, by the time you're ready to move in together you won't feel like strangers :)
At SpacesShared we value the safety of our Hosts and Guests. The SpacesShared team is with you every step of the way.

Read More about us in the NewsSpacesShared is a platform where hosts can list their spare bedrooms and guests can rent them. The platform uses an AI based advanced matching algorithm to match up the right guests with the hosts. The platform is a fully functional system where the entire process from getting details of the property, having a conversation with the host, making a rental contract, making monthly payments and giving feedback, can all be done within the safety of the platform.
A Host account is an account created by a user who has a spare bedroom in the house they are living in and would like to invite a guest/student to live with them for a monthly payment.
Hosts can list their spare bedroom on SpacesShared where Students/Guests can view their listing, reach out and chat in the platform, and enter into a homesharing agreement.
A listing is the advertisement for the property in which the bedrooms that you would like to rent are located. In completing your listing, you will have the opportunity to outline details like your guest policy, allergies, house rules, and other preferences.
All Hosts and adults living in the property being listed must complete a criminal background check through SpacesShared.
All Guests who have spent more than one year in Canada must complete a criminal background check through SpacesShared.
