The roommate replacement process
Six steps from move-out to move-in
Start with the home you already share. Roomy helps bring the people and vacancy details into one place, while your household and property owner stay part of the decision.
02
Add your existing room
Create the shared property and complete its address, rent, vacancy and other important details.
03
Invite your roommates
Bring your current housemates into the room so everyone can coordinate from the shared home dashboard.
04
Choose “Replace”
Open the property dashboard and choose the Replace action beside the roommate who is moving out.
05
Fill details and get approval
Enter the vacancy, rent, deposit, move-in and replacement information. The outgoing tenant reviews and approves the request when consent is required.
06
Review a new join request
After approval, the property can appear as a replacement listing. A prospective roommate requests to join and the responsible person reviews them.
Inside your dashboard
One vacancy. Clear details. A considered handover.
Use the Replace action to record the terms of the change. Consent is part of the process, and an approved replacement listing lets interested people request to join your home.

Check the tenancy termsConfirm any landlord, lease, notice-period or documentation requirements separately.
Roomy provides tools to coordinate a replacement request and listing. The outgoing tenant’s required consent and the property’s separate tenancy terms still apply. An approved listing does not guarantee an applicant or automatically add a new tenant.
Roommate replacement FAQ
Common questions, clearly answered
How do I replace a roommate in my existing flat?
Register or log in, add your shared property, invite your roommates, and open the property dashboard. Choose Replace beside the outgoing roommate, fill in the vacancy and financial details, then submit it for the required consent.
Does the replacement listing go live immediately?
The required outgoing-tenant consent must be approved before the replacement listing opens. The dashboard shows the request status so the household can follow the process.
What happens after the outgoing tenant approves?
The property can be listed for tenant replacement. Interested people can request to join, and the responsible household member or owner can review the request. Approval does not automatically add an applicant.
Can the roommate who is moving out request their own replacement?
Yes. A tenant can start a replacement request for themselves. Depending on the requester’s role, the flow records the outgoing tenant’s consent or asks them to review and approve.
What information should I include in the replacement details?
Provide accurate rent, deposit, any brokerage, available slots, move-in timing and other details applicants need to understand the vacancy. Check any additional requirements in your lease or with the owner.
Does Roomy guarantee a replacement roommate?
No. Roomy can make an approved replacement vacancy available to applicants. Finding a suitable person and accepting their join request remain decisions for the people responsible for the property.
