How you become a Cohabs member and all other details!
Yes, every house has a laundry room with washing machines and dryers. The number of laundry appliances depends on the number of housemates. And yes, the use of the laundry room is included in your lease, no extra cost.
Depending on the size of each Cohabs house, we have anywhere from 3 to 24 rooms. You can find more information on our houses page.
The Cohabs houses have a range of different room setups depending on the room you are interested in. For more information, take a look at our virtual tour or check with our Community Manager during your call.
At Cohabs, we’re all about our community. That’s why we believe it’s so important to offer a bunch of complimentary services! To name a few:
It is a measure imposed by the New York Housing Department policy that prevents residential properties, like Cohabs, from installing bedroom door locks for fire safety purposes.
However, as explained in our golden rules, we provide safe and secure common spaces through trust and mutual respect of our community. These elements are key and part of our community's success.
Our rooms are fully furnished, equipped, and have almost everything you need. We say almost because the only things we don't provide are a blanket, sheets, and a pillow, so don't forget to bring yours. Unless you're moving to Paris where the blanket is provided for you. Prefer to travel light? You will have the option to subscribe to our Bedding Pack before moving in via the Cohabs app; we'll take care of these for you.
Your room is secured after you complete these important steps which can be found in the Lobby:
Every member gets access to our dedicated Cohabs app. Within the application, you will be able to report an incident or add a wish for your house.
You can request to terminate your lease via the Cohabs app and send us an email. This is completely subject to our lease terms, but we try to be as flexible as possible.
The size of the room depends on the room type. Our private rooms are about 14 m²/ 150 sq. The other rooms vary from about 7 m²/80 sq for the smallest and about 30 m²/325 sq for the largest. You can see the exact size of the private rooms in the virtual tour after applying online.
Yes, we encourage members to officially establish themselves at the beginning of their stay. You will find more information about this in the Cohabs app.
Yes, of course. You just have to send your mail to your Cohabs address. You can also write your name on the board near the front door.
You can do pretty much what you want in your room as long as you do not damage the walls, floors, or other surfaces and return your bedroom to the state in which you found it.
You have the possibility to cancel your stay 15 days after the signature of your lease. It is not possible to cancel after your move-in date even if it is before the 15 days notice. Beyond this deadline, we will be obliged to charge you a cancellation fee equivalent to 2 months’ rent.
If you opt for a room with no private bathroom, you will share it with two other members maximum and have your own storage space for your hygiene products. The bathroom will be cleaned by our cleaning team every week.
