Find a room. Find your people.
Rooms and shared homes only — every listing here is a room, posted by the people who live there or the landlord who rents it room-by-room. Never a whole house wearing a room's price tag.
No rooms here yet
We won't pad this page with whole houses — that's the whole point of the door. Two honest options:
✓ You're on the list — the first room in your town lands in your inbox before it trends anywhere.
Looking for a whole place of your own instead? That's the engine next door: ForRent.direct →
How this door works
Roommate.direct is a front door on the ForRent engine — one listings system, focused doors. A door's search starts and stays in its segment: rooms here, whole rentals on ForRent, and never a silent mix.
Every listing is a room
Posters check the roommate-fit box when they list — a room in a home, a shared house, a landlord renting room-by-room. Whole-house rentals can't appear here, by construction, not by promise.
You see who's already there
Every room shows the household up front — who's living there, the house rhythm, what's shared, and the true monthly number (rent plus the utilities share, never a bare rent that lies by omission).
Real names, real history
Posting is as easy as it should be — and it hangs on a real account with a real history, shared across the family of sites. Ratings are earned by finished stays and travel with the person.
Sharing a home is a trust decision
You'll sleep down the hall from these people, so this door is built accordingly: verified posters are badged, sample rooms are labeled as samples until real inventory replaces them, and meeting first — in daylight, in a public place — is the house advice on every inquiry.
