Community guidelines · Find a Flatmate

Be honest

About yourself. Answer the lifestyle questions as you actually live. If you would rather not answer, skip the question.
About the room. State every cost, use real and current photos of the room, and describe it as it is.
About who you are to the room. List only if you are the occupant or owner and have permission. Brokers posing as occupants are not allowed.

Keep listings real

No fake listings.
No duplicates of the same room.
No stale listings. If the room is taken, do not keep it listed. Listings expire after 21 days unless you reconfirm that the room is available.

Be respectful

No harassment, hate or discrimination, in profiles, listings, messages or visits.
Respect a “no”. Nobody owes you a reply, a visit or a reason. If someone declines, leave it there.
Stating your own household habits, such as a vegetarian kitchen or no smoking indoors, is what the questionnaire is for. Demeaning people is not.

Keep money and private details out of it

No asking for advance payment. That includes a “token” or deposit to hold a room before a visit.
Do not ask anyone for OTPs, Aadhaar or bank details.
Do not share other people’s private details. An address shared with you for a visit is for that visit only.
Do not pressure anyone to move the conversation off the platform.

Adults only

Find a Flatmate is for people aged 18 and over.

If someone breaks these guidelines

Block them, which cuts chat and visibility both ways immediately, and report the profile, listing or message. Reports go to moderators, who can remove listings and suspend accounts. Every moderator action is logged.

Moderators cannot browse chats. They can read only a specific reported message, and must record a written justification to do so.

If your own account is suspended and you believe that is a mistake, you can appeal from Settings → Data & support.
