Everything you need to know about booking, paying for, living in, and moving out of a FairRoom.
How to apply, get approved, and reserve your room.
No. FairRoom does not require a credit score. Instead, every applicant completes identity verification and a background check so that all members can trust their housemates.
Most applications are reviewed automatically and approved within minutes. In rare cases where we need to confirm a detail, a member of our team will follow up within one business day.
You'll need a government-issued photo ID and a valid payment method. That's it — no pay stubs, cosigners, or landlord references required.
Each listing includes photos of the room and shared spaces plus a full amenities list. Bookings are made online, so in-person showings aren't part of the process.
You must be at least 18 years old and able to pass identity verification and a background check to become a FairRoom member.
How weekly rent, fees, and your subscription work.
Rent is billed weekly through a recurring subscription on your saved payment method. One weekly charge covers your room, utilities, Wi-Fi, and shared spaces.
Yes. You pay a one-time move-in fee plus your first week of rent when you book. There is no large security deposit.
Your billing day is set to the day you move in, and you can view every upcoming charge in the app. Contact support if you need to adjust your billing date.
We'll automatically retry the charge and send you a reminder. Keeping a valid payment method on file in the app prevents late fees and keeps your door PIN active.
No. Electricity, water, and Wi-Fi are all included in your weekly rent. You will never receive a separate utility bill from FairRoom.
House rules, roommates, access, and maintenance.
Every FairRoom uses a smart lock. After you move in, you'll receive a personal door PIN in the app that you use for keyless entry to the home.
Members agree to keep shared spaces clean, respect quiet hours, and treat housemates with courtesy. Smoking indoors and unregistered long-term guests are not allowed. Full house rules are in your member agreement.
Submit a maintenance request from the app any time. Most non-urgent issues are handled within a few business days, and urgent issues like a lockout or no heat are prioritized.
Short daytime guests are welcome. Overnight guests should be cleared with your housemates, and no guest may stay long enough to effectively live in the home without becoming a member.
Members share responsibility for keeping kitchens, bathrooms, and living areas tidy. Many homes also include scheduled common-area cleaning — check your listing for details.
Giving notice, your last week, and getting set up somewhere new.
Because you pay weekly, you simply give notice in the app before your next billing date. There's no lease to break and no early-termination penalty.
Leave your room and shared spaces clean and remove all personal belongings by your move-out date. Ordinary wear and tear is expected and never charged.
Yes. Many members move between rooms and cities. Just book your new room in the app and give notice on your current one — your member profile and screening carry over.
Your personal door PIN is automatically deactivated at the end of your final billing period, keeping the home secure for the members who stay.
