:: Rooms
Rooms are empty rooms in a house, apartment, condo, or townhouse where
other people already live. This selection indicates an interest in filling an empty space within a current living arrangement.
Sometimes the entire rental is shared – this means
the person has his or her own room, but shares the kitchen, living room, bathroom, and other common areas. However, this is not
always the case – people may have their own bathrooms or common areas at times.

is also referred to as a "Single". |

This is also referred to as a "Double". |
| Space for 1 in room for 2 |

a Double". |
