A shared house, sometimes called as a guest house, is an apartment (or a house) for rent in which you can share rooms and facilities with other residents. Shared houses convenient for travelers and people who are looking for accommodations for short-term. Mostly without a damage deposit, a key money, a brokerage fee, and a guarantor, you can rent a room monthly.

To Live in Shared House Happily

Following a shared house rule and checking the rule in advance are important for your happy life in the shared house. Try to be nice and polite to other residents.

Room Type

	We suggest single room occupancy to people who care about their privacy and like to be alone. Furnishings and facilities differ from other apartments; some apartments may include an air conditioner, a television set, a bed, a refrigerator, desks, and chairs. In general, single room occupancy is more expensive than multiple-occupancy room.
	A multiple-occupancy room usually includes more than one bed in a room. The biggest advantage of this type is its inexpensive rent range. You can save a lot of money by choosing a multiple-occupancy room. Most multiple-occupancy rooms include only a curtain for your privacy, however, no men and women share a room in principle. The safe and lockers might be available in most rooms.

Pricing

	Expense for the use of a shared house
	Expense that you pay when you rent a shared house
	Expense for upkeep
	Expense for services such as gas and electricity
