Questions about living in a ROOF student residence?

Abandonment from home is a difficult stage for students. The loss of bearings and the break with your loved ones is sometimes complicated to live with. So, if you want to create a social fabric in the heart of a big city and make sure that your university years leave you with unforgettable memories, join us and become a Roofer!

‍

You have made your decision, your studies will not take place in a small student studio, or in an apartment rented from a private individual, a university room or a city U, but in a roof student roommate.

‍

So, forget about classified ads, real estate agencies, social landlords and the rental risks of unhealthy or energy-consuming housing. With Roof, you can focus on your studies and student life without the administrative or financial hassles.

‍

Everything you need is close at hand, from the refrigerator to the dishwasher, to the washing machine and the dryer, not to mention the oven, the dishes and unlike a traditional flatshare, everything is included in the base rent:

• The rent
• weekly cleaning of common areas
• the costs (electricity, water, gas, gas, internet and your home insurance)
• a support service available on a daily basis

So no admin, because for us a life without admin is already a successful life 😉

‍

All our residences are fully furnished and equipped with carefully selected furniture and stylish decor. As for furniture, everyday life will be quite comfortable: hotel-quality beds, spacious storage, a real desk to work in your quiet room, a large table for meals all together or on the go, and especially a huge sofa because it is the base of any self-respecting place.

‍

We wanted you to feel at home, not in a soulless student residence, so the style is welcoming, happy and authentic, but look at the photos it's the most telling! In terms of equipment, all the utensils needed to prepare good small dishes, or rather good large dishes.

Good news, you may be eligible for housing assistance in a Roof residence, depending on your file! Your rights are the same as if you were taking a studio or a roommate.

Everything is done online quickly, without a large file. All you need is two documents:

• An identity document
• A guarantor if necessary or visual guarantee

In terms of rentals, housing tax is always borne by the tenant. This is the only charge that cannot be included in the service because it depends on your income.

Yes, our home insurance covers damage to your personal effects: computer, clothing, and other belongings are well covered 👌

Book a room directly on our site by filling out the form and a member of our team will contact you quickly.

We contact all candidates who want to join one of our houses and validate the applications to imagine a community that is as inclusive and varied as possible, by bringing together people who we are convinced will make a great team. It's pretty easy because those who choose Roof already share a bit the same state of mind, and behind we are a bit of a fairy who brings together different personalities with shared tastes. It is possible that your future best friend is already a member of our community.

• A deposit of one month's rent without charges is required, to be paid by credit card when booking. If everything is fine at the end of the stay, you will of course get it back.
• An application fee of €295 will also be required.

Creating a community is at the heart of our approach, which is why we want tenants to stay for at least 12 months. We think we have the best student accommodation in your city and aim for you to stay for the duration of your studies, if not longer.

You will be debited from your bank account via our partner GoCardless.

Each room is equipped with:

• A box spring
• A mattress
• A bedside table
• A bedside lamp
• An office
• A desk lamp
• A chair
• A wardrobe

It's a furnished lease.

Let's start with what brings them together: in both cases, several people share the same home and choose to live under the same roof. In practice, we have two different systems. Shared housing is a way of life where several people live together in the same house and share the costs of housing expenses, such as rent and bills.

‍

Coliving, on the other hand, is a more specialized concept of shared living that focuses on creating a community and with a communal lifestyle. Common areas are often larger and better developed than in a traditional shared apartment, and there are often organized activities for residents to strengthen the bonds between them.

‍

Coliving can also include services such as shared meals and shared work spaces. Another big difference is that coliving works in all-inclusive mode, to facilitate the installation and daily life of residents. More than that, it is already equipped to be conducive to living in community: good sofas, large kitchen, and plenty of dishes.

‍

In summary, roommates are more focused on sharing housing costs (with all the management that this involves, you have to love math we're not going to hide it), while coliving aims to create a community and strengthen social ties between residents.

‍

The first big advantage, let's be direct, is financial. Doubly the same. Coliving allows you to save money, since everything is included, even insurance or internet, we have an investment that will be lower in total than a conventional shared flat.

‍

And beyond that, it keeps all the original advantages of a roommate including the biggest one: cost less than a personal studio because the costs are divided between several people. That's for the bank account, but money alone does not make happiness, we want to point out that Roof is above all a solid community and a living environment made for that.

‍

In our Roofs, we make no concessions on design that's what you can see on Insta, oh the beautiful furniture and modern equipment, but above all, we create living spaces, that's what our residents tell us. And that makes us really happy because we put a lot of our energy into activities and places that promote good times between you. We think that the world is a giant community that is much more united than what is being said on the news and we are happy to share this state of mind in our Roofs.
