About SpareRoom:

We’re one of the US’s largest roommate and room rental marketplaces. SpareRoom is the go-to website and app if you’re looking for a roommate, a room to rent, a sublet or need to rent out your room or apartment.

By combining a huge number of people looking for rooms with a growing inventory of rooms across the country alongside amazing customer service and excellent fraud and dodgy behaviour detection systems we’re slowly becoming the US’s key roommate platform.

We’re expanding our in-house agency product that is utilised by real estate professionals across the residential rental industry and we might need your help...
