How Cohabital works
Built to fix what's broken about finding roommates online: trust, ghosting, and paying to be seen.
Tell us who you are and what you want
Pick your situation — have a room, need a room, or teaming up. Add your budget, move-in date, term length (short or long), and lifestyle: cleanliness, sleep schedule, pets, smoking, guests.
Verify your identity — optional
You don't have to, but it pays off. Cohabital runs its own ID verification: scan your government ID and a quick selfie, and we confirm it's really you. An ID Verified badge means you've been checked against a real government-issued ID — so you get higher-quality connections, rank higher in matches, and can filter to verified-only people. Your ID images are never shared; only the badge is public.
Get compatibility-ranked matches
Our engine scores every potential roommate 0–100 on the things that actually cause conflict — budget overlap, location, cleanliness, schedules, pets, smoking, guests — and puts your best fits first. Filter to verified-only anytime.
Message privately, then meet
Chat inside Cohabital — no phone number or email required until you're ready. Block or report anyone, anytime.
Or team up and rent together
No lease yet? Form a team of compatible verified people and search for a whole place together — the group feature most sites don't have.
