Flatshares for young workers : an ever evolving phenomenon
Flatsharing involves renting an accommodation with other tenants. It can be a flat or a house, furnished or not, where several people live together. All the tenants have to sign a contract with the landlord before integrating the flatshare. This lease can be individual or common. In all the cases, the co-tenants within the same flatshare have the same rights and duties towards the landlord.
At Chez Nestor, we work on an individual lease basis, which means that each tenant is responsible of their own rent and bills only. Therefore, their individual rent is not affected in the event of the departure of a roommate, i.e you do not have to personally look for people to replace you. Flat sharing solution also offers great housing at a reduced cost, thus resulting in it being the housing of choice amongst students, but also increasingly amongst young workers. Indeed, the barometer of flatsharing in the first quarter of 2017 revealed that 45% of flatshares are occupied by workers. For young professionals, shared accommodation is also a way to integrate into a new environment socially, whilst saving money at the same time.

Economic advantages of flatshares for young workers
The ability to save money on not only rental costs but also setting up contracts, and bills, are some of the major advantages of flat sharing. Shared accommodation is the solution to avoid paying astronomical rental prices for the small choice of housing on offer in metropolitan areas. As it enables you to benefit from both affordable housing in the heart of urban centres or near a metro station. The average price of shared accommodation in big cities such as Paris is between 800€ in 2018, compared to 1500 euros for a traditional rental. Moreover, flatshares are almost always fully furnished and equipped, making them a lot easier to move into for the tenants. Roommates do not have to buy furniture or equipment, they just need to pop down their suitcases to enjoy their new place. In addition, bills, invoices, rental expenses, are divided between the co-tenants, which makes flat sharing an even cheaper solution.
