Members of the collective,

If you were looking to rent out a room, where would you advertise?
Alternatively, and hopefully with the same answer, if you were looking to rent a room, where would you look?

Gumtree

I got a fine tenant through Gumtree.

said he’d seen a right dodgy place with a ranting older landlord in Leith though 😉

I’ve had lovely tennants through gumtree and easy roommate. However I’ve just moved out from a werido whos room i found on easy room mate, and had some decidedly odd people turn up from both websites.

Sit them down and have a long chat over a cup of tea, still might not filter all the nutters out!

Gumtree, spareroom.co.uk

I think some of it depends whereabouts you are as well – city/countryside etc.

Al -why the insults?

sorry, I didn’t know you’d lost the ability to laugh at yourself, you were championing it yesterday 🙄

If you are near a uni you could try their accom office, mature students, psotgrads, teacher training placements? Or try local hospital, dr’s and nurses phwooooaarr.

Sparerooms ….. I know this as ive just had to rent one as myself and the wife are going separate ways at the end of the month !!
