How to get your room
At Roomie-Radar, candidates with a complete profile usually get an answer within 48 to 72 hours. Start looking four to six weeks before you move.
Step 1
Create your profile
Sign up with your name, email, phone number and a short description. The landlord will see your verifications: email, phone and social networks.
Step 2
Send applications
State the reason for your stay, your preferred move-in date and how long you need. That is what improves your chances the most. If anything is unclear, ask about it in the message you send.
Step 3
Wait for the answer
If the landlord accepts the application, both parties get each other’s contact details straight away and can arrange a viewing and settle any remaining questions. Accepting an application carries no legal commitment: neither party is obliged to sign a rental contract merely for having sent or accepted it.
Step 4
Sign and move in
Settle the last details with the landlord and sign the contract directly with them. You get the move-in details within 48 hours.
Students, Erasmus and interns
Kots and rooms near the universities of Brussels, Leuven, Ghent, Antwerp and Liège, and Belval in Luxembourg. Roomie-Radar works with universities to help students find rooms close to campus, and already has agreements in place such as the one with the University of Luxembourg. Searches peak in September and February: book before then.
What verified means
- Roomie-Radar has a formal agreement with the landlord, the estate agent or the coliving operator, and has reviewed both their profile and the room.
- You can register at the commune with that address.
- On unverified listings, confirm the address and the commune registration with the landlord when you apply.

Frequently asked questions
General
Roomie-Radar is a verified room rental platform for shared flats and coliving spaces in Luxembourg, Belgium and other European countries. It connects tenants directly with landlords, real estate professionals and coliving operators — no agencies, no fees.
Tenants create a profile, browse verified listings and send applications to the rooms they're interested in. Landlords review applications and accept or decline each candidate. If accepted, Roomie-Radar shares the contact details of both parties so they can arrange viewings, resolve any questions and sign the rental contract directly.
Yes. Searching for a room and posting a listing are both completely free. No agency fees, no commissions, no subscriptions.
Luxembourg (Luxembourg City, Bonnevoie, Hollerich, Kirchberg, Gasperich, Esch-sur-Alzette and Belval) and Belgium (Brussels, Ghent, Antwerp, Leuven and Liège), as well as other European countries including Spain, France and Norway.
Roomie-Radar establishes formal agreements with landlords, real estate professionals and coliving operators, and verifies their profile and listings before they go live. Tenants also have verified profiles. This significantly reduces the risk of fake listings and rental fraud — the most common problems in the shared room market. We recommend applying only to listings marked as "verified" for the best experience.
For listings marked as "verified", domiciliation is possible, as Roomie-Radar has direct agreements with those landlords. For unverified listings, we recommend confirming this with the landlord before applying.
Tenants
Create a profile with your name, email and a short description about yourself. Landlords will see your profile verifications (email, phone, social networks) when reviewing your application. Once your profile is set up, you can search for shared rooms in Luxembourg or Belgium by filtering on country, price, contract duration or location using the interactive map. The platform is available in English, French and Spanish.
Roomie-Radar lists contracts from 1 month to over 1 year: short stays for exchanges and internships (1-6 months), mid-length contracts for young professionals (6-12 months) and long-term options for expats looking to settle.
Roomie-Radar covers the main university cities in Belgium (Ghent, Antwerp, Leuven and Liège) and Luxembourg. When applying, include your reason for staying and any relevant details to increase your chances of acceptance.
In Luxembourg, candidates with a complete profile typically receive a response within 48-72 hours. In Belgium it depends on the city: Brussels and Leuven are the most competitive markets. In both countries, starting your search four to six weeks before your arrival date gives you the best results.
Landlords
Go to roomie-radar.com and follow the listing process. You'll receive applications from tenants with verified profiles. You can accept or decline each application — if you decline, you'll need to provide a reason, which will be shared with the applicant. If you accept, Roomie-Radar shares the contact details of both parties so you can answer questions, arrange viewings and close the rental agreement.
No. Accepting an application on Roomie-Radar does not create any contractual obligation. Roomie-Radar facilitates the connection; the rental contract is always a free decision between landlord and tenant.
They may have already signed with another landlord. To avoid this, respond to applications as quickly as possible and make sure your listing has a detailed description with no hidden costs. If you need further help, contact the Roomie-Radar team at roomie-radar.com/contactUs.
