FAQ
01
Do you provide extra services?
In addition to the accommodation provided, every member has access to a monthly subscription that handles extra benefits like a bedding pack.
These services are not included in the monthly rent. You can subscribe to extra services by purchasing packs in the Cohabs app. After that, we will take care of everything.
02
What common areas are included in the houses?
Every house has its own designed shared spaces.
You’ll always find a fully-equipped kitchen, a living room, and a laundry room. Most of our houses also have a garden or terrace, a gym, a cinema room and, with a bit of luck, sometimes a poker room or sauna!
03
Why do I need to have a call before booking my room?
The community aspect is a huge part of the Cohabs experience, and we prioritize how each and every member will fit into the house they join. With this in mind, the call helps us ensure we find you the best house for your preferences and personality, and that your time at Cohabs will be the best possible.
04
How long does the application process take?
The application process is easy. You just have to complete the application form and book your call with our community manager. It takes a little more than 3 minutes. It is possible that you will have to wait a few days before having your call.
Then you will have the background check and virtual tour, but all that happens on your end. You can complete it while chilling comfortably on your couch, at your own pace.
05
How do I book a room?
We are glad that you are interested in joining our community!
The first step is to apply online to verify our room availability. If we have a room available at your desired date, you'll be able to book a quick call with our Community Manager to help you find the best fit within our network.
After arranging details about your stay (location, room type preference, etc.) we will ask you to send us the required documents in order to verify your identity and solvency. Then you can visit your house (virtually or in real life after a prebooking) and sign your lease online. After you pay the deposit, first month's rent, and the application fee, your room is officially booked!
06
How sustainable is coliving?
As the world moves towards a carbon-neutral future, sustainability is the core of what we do. Among other things, a large majority of our houses have solar panels, sustainable appliances, and a rainwater harvesting system. Most of our furniture is bought on the second-hand market, giving them a second life. We have a strong focus on energy cost reduction, thanks to dedicated tools in every home. Read more here!
07
What is coliving? Who is it for?
Coliving is a form of housing where residents share a living space as well as a set of interests, values, and intentions. Coliving is sustainable and promotes openness and collaboration, social networking, and the sharing economy.
Located in cities across the world, Cohabs offers a range of beautiful places that feel just like home. Our houses are composed of private bedrooms and fully furnished shared common spaces. Anyone can apply!
