New to sharehouse living? The ultimate must-ask checklist before moving in!

2026-04-20

1. Checking the Basic Framework of the Contract (Cost & Period) First, you need to fact-check if it fits your budget and schedule!

  • Deposit and Rent: Rent varies depending on the room size or type. Also, the deposit amount or rent discount benefits may vary depending on the contract period (from 1 month to 1 year, etc.), so be sure to check! EverySpace also offers short-term contracts starting from just 1 month!

  • Utility Bills and Maintenance Fees: You must ask how maintenance fees, common living expenses, and utility bills like gas, electricity, and water are charged in addition to the rent.

2. My Room and Common Spaces (Appliance/Furniture Options) The biggest advantage of a sharehouse is that you can move in lightly without heavy luggage!

  • Private Room Options: Check what furniture is provided as standard in your room, such as a bed, desk, chair, air conditioner, and storage cabinet.

  • Common Area Facilities: You must carefully check the kitchen (refrigerator, microwave), laundry room (washer, dryer availability!), and the number of bathrooms. EverySpace branches are well-equipped with comfortable single rooms and spacious common area options!

3. House Living Rules (Most Important!) Since it is a space where many people live together, figuring out how chores are managed is the key to a peaceful life.

  • Who does the cleaning?: Check if a professional cleaner comes regularly to clean the common areas or if residents set rules to do it themselves! For a pleasant living environment, EverySpace systematically operates a 'weekly duty system' where residents share tasks like sorting recycling, taking out the trash, and cleaning the common area floors on designated days.

  • Gender Rules: Check if the branch you are moving into is female-only, male-only, or co-ed, and choose the environment where you feel most comfortable.

4. Complaints and Communication Channels (A/S Handling) While living there, situations will inevitably arise where repairs are needed, such as a burnt-out lightbulb or a boiler problem.

  • Communication Channel: Be sure to check how to contact the landlord or manager when a problem occurs and whether the feedback is fast.

  • Advantage of EverySpace: We operate an official communication channel exclusively for residents (Channel Talk)! If you have any complaints or repair requests (A/S), we will receive them quickly and systematically through Channel Talk and resolve them for you.
