What is Roomie-Radar?
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.
How does Roomie-Radar work?
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.
Is Roomie-Radar free to use?
Yes. Searching for a room and posting a listing are both completely free. No agency fees, no commissions, no subscriptions.
Which countries and cities does Roomie-Radar cover?
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.
How does Roomie-Radar prevent scams? Are the listings trustworthy?
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 in Luxembourg and Belgium. We recommend applying only to listings marked as "verified" for the best experience.
Can I register at the commune with a Roomie-Radar listing?
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.
How do I find a room on Roomie-Radar?
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.
Can I find a short-term or long-term room?
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.
Does Roomie-Radar have rooms for students and interns?
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.
How long does it take to find a room?
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.
How do I list my room?
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.
Am I obliged to rent to a tenant if I accept their application?
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.
I accepted an application but the tenant isn't responding. What should I do?
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.
