The busiest rental season has started: help promote homestay hosting in your community
The new rental season has started. Hospi Housing has developed new flyers and posters that hosts and host families can use to promote homestay hosting in their own community.
More and more students, starters, young professionals and expats are looking for a place to live again. Do you have a spare room, or do you know someone with extra space at home? This is the perfect moment to help put homestay hosting in the spotlight.
Many different kinds of tenants
The rental market is getting busier again. While we used to see mostly students looking for a room, more and more young professionals, starters, expats and other room seekers are now signing up with Hospi Housing. They all have their own wishes, timelines and budgets.
And that means: everyone knows someone looking for a place to live.
Maybe you have a spare room yourself. Or maybe you know someone with an attic room, guest room, studio or temporary living space that is currently mainly being used for storage. And let’s be honest: a room as storage? Such a waste. Especially when that room could make a real difference to someone looking for a home — while also allowing you to earn extra income.
Spare room? Rent it out
Homestay hosting is an accessible way to contribute to a social and sustainable solution to the housing shortage. You open your home to someone looking for a place to live, while staying fully in control. You decide who you rent to, when you rent and for how long.
Whether you have temporary space available, want to rent flexibly or are looking for a longer-term tenant, chances are there is someone searching for exactly what you offer.
That new hobby can wait a little longer - perhaps that empty room is much more valuable right now to someone urgently looking for a place to stay.
Promotional materials to make homestay hosting more visible
To help raise awareness of homestay hosting, we have developed new flyers and posters. These materials are designed to start conversations in your neighbourhood, network, association, municipality, workplace or any other community you are part of.
With messages such as Everyone knows someone looking for a place to live, That new hobby can wait a little longer, Open your door to a new experience and A room as storage? Such a waste., we want to show that renting out a room does not have to be complicated or impersonal. It can be personal, temporary, safe and meaningful.
Are you already a host or host family with Hospi Housing? Then you can help make homestay hosting better known. Put up a poster, hand out a flyer or share it with someone you know who has extra space at home.
