What Makes a Great Roommate Match? Help Us Build a Better Way to Find Out
🏠 Finding a roommate is easy. Finding someone you actually enjoy living with? That's a different story.
You might agree on the rent, love the same neighbourhood, and even attend the same university. But what happens when one person loves hosting friends and the other needs complete silence to study?
That's where roommate compatibility comes in.
At RentWhiz, we're developing new roommate-matching features to help students and renters find people whose lifestyles, habits, and expectations work well together.
And we want your input.

TAKE THE ROOMMATE SURVEY →What Really Makes Roommates Compatible?
A great roommate match isn't necessarily someone who shares all your interests. Sometimes, it's someone whose everyday habits fit comfortably with yours.
Are you comfortable with a little clutter, or do you prefer everything spotless?
How do you feel about overnight guests, parties, pets, or smoking indoors?
Can you agree on rent, utilities, and shared expenses?
Would you prefer a roommate who enjoys the same activities, or is having your own space more important?
Are you an early bird, a night owl, or somewhere in between?
Are you looking for a new friend or simply someone respectful to share a home with?
There's no single correct answer. What matters is finding someone whose preferences are compatible with yours.
We're Building Something Better. Help Us Get It Right.
We're working on roommate-matching features for RentWhiz, and we want to understand what people actually prioritize when choosing someone to live with.
Should cleanliness matter more than shared hobbies? How important are matching sleep schedules? Which living arrangements are dealbreakers?
Rather than guessing, we're asking the people who know best: you.
📋 Take the RentWhiz Roommate Matching Survey
Our short survey asks about your roommate preferences, lifestyle expectations, and the factors you consider most important.
✓ Takes approximately 3–4 minutes.
✓ We don't ask for your name or email address.
Your feedback will help inform how we design RentWhiz's upcoming roommate-matching features.
Your Ideal Roommate Might Be Different From Someone Else's
Some people want a roommate who's also a close friend. Others prefer a quieter living arrangement where everyone respects each other's independence.
Neither approach is necessarily better.
Our goal is to develop a roommate-matching experience that recognizes those differences and helps people make more informed decisions about who they live with.
Help us build a better way to find your next roommate.
