Just a moment...
Coliving is profitable for tenants and landlords. The first will save money on the rent, while the landlords will receive more rental income. It’s a win-win situation!
If you’re looking for boarding rooms for rent in Luxembourg, a good location and the price per month are just some aspects of your choice. There are some other factors to consider:
You’re a lodger if you rent a room in a house where the owner lives. In this case, the owner can access all the house areas, and he can ask you to move out following a notice period.
If your contract is direct with the tenants of a house, then you’re considered a subtenant, and the owner has no legally binding agreement with you.
If you decide to rent a room via an agency, you’re putting yourself in the hands of professionals. You will be avoiding lots of scammers that might take your deposit and never return it to you. Particularly in Luxembourg, this is a recurring problem. Beware of rooms that are too good to be true, they probably are!
Living with other people is certainly a great experience when your lifestyle matches your flatmates. In the selection process, pay attention to your future flatmates’ personalities and if they could be a good fit for you.
Ask all possible questions before renting a room in a shared flat: cleaning rules, food storage and work schedules and so on. It’s crucial to know if you have access to your private bedroom. The room is yours, but you should know in advance any other rules regarding standard utility bills, such as internet, electricity, the TV, and so on.
Coliving will enrich your life, but before deciding which room to pick, there are some things to consider when renting a room in a flatshare. Some of them are related to legal aspects and others are purely for your own sake.
On Vauban & Fort, you can count on many community reviews to get a first idea about how it would be to live in one of the properties listed on our site.
Let’s first define what the two words stand for as it can get confusing.
A flatshare is when a group of people rent a house together under a shared house agreement. Each tenant is responsible for paying their part of the rent and sticking to the signed contract terms. Moreover, they can benefit from tenant support in case of issues or needs during their stay.
Coliving is a form of accommodation where people get a room in a furnished flat or house. It’s an excellent living experience mostly widespread among students, international professionals or people moving to a new city or relocating from another country.
Looking for a shared house for rent can be tricky, and the same goes for finding the right flatmates. Vauban & Fort provides many properties to find what you’re looking for to make your life easier.
You can count on our experienced staff to find the best room in a flat with selected flatmates. They make your choice more straightforward thanks to the reviews from people that have already been living in the flat you’re interested in.
Our mission at Vauban & Fort is not only to help you find your coliving space but create a community so that you can enjoy moments together.
Living in a flatshare can be a great personal experience, where you can meet new people with different backgrounds.
Sharing a flat is for sure a cheaper alternative to renting a house or studio by yourself, but that’s not all! It can be some challenges as living with others also means compromise. It can happen that the kitchen is not as clean as you would like it to be or that you don’t get along with a flatmate.
Good and bad things will happen, but it’s a chance to grow and get to know yourself better.
However, if you have a good coliving operator many of the above issues can be much simplified as they have experience how to manage expectations and they make sure that the properties are run in a good and efficient/fun way.
As we already mentioned, living with other people has pros and cons. Let’s have a look at some of them:
Now it’s time to talk about some disadvantages of renting a room in a shared flat.
Conflicts may arise in coliving apartments. You have less privacy, and the connection with other flatmates might not be perfect.
Rules can be tricky sometimes, but most of the time, they come from common sense. You have to respect them if you want to live together with other people. Here are some fairly common ‘house’ rules which help to make it happen:
Dealing with landlords can be challenging. Some of them might take good care of the house while others might not. Getting your deposit back when you leave can create headaches. To avoid all these troubles, you can rely on operators like Vauban & Fort to guarantee your rights.
There are some great upsides to sharing a house/flat together:
Coliving spaces offer the chance to reduce rental costs as you will be sharing a flat and the overall costs with other people.
Choosing a flatshare allows you to make great experiences and to integrate quicker. It is the best solution if you don’t want to live alone.
Independently if you’re moving to a new country or city, choosing to rent a room in a shared flat will make it easier to get to know new people who might become your friends.
Most of the time, the people you will be living with will become part of your life. It’s an excellent opportunity to get together and make new experiences.
Cooking and sharing food with your flatmates is a great opportunity to taste new recipes from all over the world. Yummy!
We’ve seen that coliving is not only a cheaper option but mostly also a chance to meet new people and share great moments. If you rent a room via Vauban & Fort, you become a member of a larger community of incredible people, too.
While there are some disadvantages to flatsharing, once you take the plunge, we believe that it will undoubtedly lead to unforgettable life experiences.

September marks the 6th anniversary of Vauban&Fort.
Since 2015 we have been exclusively specialized in Coliving and have continuously driven its development in the Grand Duchy. As one of the Coliving pioneers long before it became a buzzword, it’s been an extraordinary journey from a single apartment in Kirchberg to managing a portfolio of properties across the city and creating vibrant, dynamic communities and coliving spaces.
This would not have been possible without an excellent team made up of vibrant personalities, committed professionals and a lot of know-how. We would also like to thank the numerous property owners who have taken advantage of our game-changing property management. Our <total property management> free of charge has been the backbone of our success and continues to see strong growth as owners realize the benefits of a reputable Coliving operator. None of our current successes would have been possible without our partners and countless hours of hard work.
Many thanks to all of you.
As we get into our 7th year our main goals are all set on a strong growth of our property profile, adding additional services to our tenants and continuing the win-win situation for both parties in the rental market.
