A “room” refers to a room in a shared house. This means you’ll share a front door and, in some cases, a bathroom, kitchen, and living room with one or more roommates. Rooms are the most affordable option for living in Breda because you can share many expenses, such as an internet subscription, city taxes, etc. Furthermore, some tenants specifically choose a room because they enjoy not living alone in a house.

Shared houses in Breda are often occupied by people who found each other through the hundreds of Facebook groups created online for this purpose or through other online platforms, such as Kamernet or MyHospi. On average, in Breda you share your home with 3 roommates. Shared homes are often occupied by people between the ages of 18 and 35; the average resident in Breda is 25 years old.

Rooms are usually assigned through “hospitations”—a day when current residents invite one or more people for an introductory interview and then choose their future roommate. With Room Ranger, you can be sure you’ll be notified of all new rooms so you never miss a hospitation.
