How do I get started?
The first step is to become an Odd Couples Housing Member! With your membership, you can create a custom profile, list your home for Seekers to see, manage your match requests and access Homeowner resources.
How much should I charge?
You know your home better than anyone, so when it comes to finances, you make the calls. You may already have an idea of how much you’d like to earn for your space, but if you’re not sure where to start, OCH can help! When you create a profile, we’ll send you information about what to consider when pricing your home—and some tips for talking about money with a new match!
How will I get paid?
There are two ways to collect payment from your roommate. You can receive the monthly payments in hand directly from your roommate. Another option is to have us help you by using Stripe. Stripe is a secure payment platform that you and your roommate can use for homesharing expenses. Stripe will transfer the money from your roommate directly to your bank account automatically, so you never have to worry about missed payments or handling cash or checks.
Does the Seeker pay any fees?
We know that saving money is a priority for many of our Seekers. That’s why they pay a reduced Match Fee of $50. Homeowners have the option of covering the cost of the Seeker’s Match fee.
