A house or flat share is the general term used to describe most shared accommodation and properties with rooms to rent.

Someone who is living in a house or flat share is commonly referred to as a housemate, flatmate, or sometimes roommate. Rarely, a room will be offered as a room share which means that you will be sharing the room with another person, so it is best to check when being offered a room share.

In a house or flat share you will rent a room from the landlord but share communal areas such as the kitchen and lounge with other people that live with you in the house.

As a result of all these aspects flatsharing is becoming a trend in the new era and will be more and more imporved with the help of digitilazation of business processes and automatization of housing facilities. People can share and care more for their environment in the future due to depleting resources in the nature on one hand and on the other hand the population growth of the whole World.
