OpenRent was an incredibly easy platform to use to find tenants for my flat in Shepherd’s Bush. It was low cost, efficient and simple to manage, all good things for my frenetic life! I would highly recommend it!

Frequently Asked Questions
Have more questions about how advertising on OpenRent works? Or how rent a room tax relief works? Have a look at our most-asked questions on the topic.
-
What is the Rent a Room Scheme?
The Rent a Room Scheme, otherwise known as the spare room allowance, is a fantastic way to earn extra cash from your home. It boosts your bank balance, and you don’t have to pay the taxman a penny for the first £7,500 a year. Rent a room relief is a way most people won’t have to pay a penny more in tax.
Both owner-occupiers and tenants can let out a furnished room in their primary home to a lodger, although tenants must first make sure their lease allows them to do so. Note it must be a furnished room – you cannot let the space out as an office or for other business purposes.
-
How long will it take to rent out my room?
It takes less than five minutes to set up your advert. We’ll automatically check for you if your advert will meet the guidelines for Rightmove and Zoopla. If your advert is up to speed, it will be live in 3-6 hours. It’s common to receive multiple viewing requests on the same day.
We can help you optimise your advert, too. You can order professional photography and check spare room prices in your area with our property valuation tool. We offer ongoing support to make sure you attract as many enquiries as possible.
-
How long will my advert remain online?
We'll advertise your spare room until let. That’s usually within 6 days (on average). We do have a fair usage policy, but it is incredibly rare indeed for a user to fail to find a suitable roommate with us. You can find out more about what this means in our pricing page, which goes into more detail.
We offer our full support and advice as the UK’s largest letting agent to make your advert the best it can be.
-
Can I upgrade anytime?
Yes! You can upgrade from OpenRent-only listings to the Ultimate Advertising package at any point while your advert is online.
Likewise, if you find the right housemates and you’d like to use our Rent Now service to reference them and create the tenancy (contract signing, deposits, etc.), then you can do that, too. It’s a very flexible system designed to give you the ultimate power and control over what you pay: control that the high street estate agents won’t let you have!
