Why list on Dwelles

  • Free, with no commission

    Posting costs nothing and we take no share of the rent. You agree the rent and deposit directly with your tenant.

  • Featured for 30 days

    For a month after approval, your ad carries a Featured badge and leads the listings.

  • Open to every renter

    Anyone can message you as soon as your ad is live. Renters don't need a paid membership to contact you.

  • Stays up until you take it down

    An ad posted through our form doesn't expire, so there is nothing to renew.

How it works

  1. 1

    Fill in the form

    Add photos, the rent, the location and the move in date. It takes a few minutes, and you only need an account when you publish.

  2. 2

    We check your ad

    Every ad is reviewed before it goes live, which usually doesn't take long.

  3. 3

    Renters message you

    Messages arrive in your Dwelles account, and you decide who to speak to and who to show around.

Questions about listing a room

Where can I list a room for free?

You can list a room for free on Dwelles, a platform for rooms and flatshares. There is no listing fee or commission, renters message you directly, and your ad is featured for its first 30 days.

What can I list?

A room in a shared house or flat, a spare room in your own home, a whole flat or house, or a studio. The form asks which one it is.

Do I have to pay to list or to get messages?

No. Listing a room and replying to renters are both free. Dwelles Membership is an optional subscription, and you don't need it to list.

Does Dwelles handle the rent or deposit?

No. Dwelles is not a letting agent. You agree the rent, the deposit and any contract directly with your tenant, and that money never passes through Dwelles.

How long until my ad goes live?

Every ad is reviewed before it appears, which usually doesn't take long. If you later change the title, photos or description, the ad is hidden for a quick review until it is approved again.

How long does my ad stay up?

An ad posted through our form stays live until you take it down.

I already advertise elsewhere. Do I have to start again?

No. Send us the link to your post and we build the listing from its photos and details. You don't need an account, and we publish most listings the same day.
