The sender pays, not you. It is small enough that anyone serious will spend it and large enough to stop the scattergun one-word messages.
Pushes your room higher for three days, a week or two weeks. Worth it in a crowded area, unnecessary where little else is listed.
Every new account gets them, and you earn more by completing your profile, verifying your ID and adding photos.
What to put in the advert
The difference between forty vague messages and six people who actually suit your household.
The single thing people ask first. State whether the figure is for the room or the whole place, whether it is monthly or yearly, and which bills, service charge or agent fee sit on top.
The room, the bathroom they would use, and the kitchen. Daylight, nothing staged. Listings with a real picture of the bathroom get taken seriously; listings with only a sitting room look like a copied advert.
Guests, smoking, noise, cooking, who cleans what. Saying it upfront does not narrow your pool, it removes the people who were going to leave in two months.
Who already lives there, what hours you keep, how quiet it is. People in Port Harcourt are choosing a household as much as a room, and this is the part every other advert leaves out.
Name the neighbourhood and the nearest landmark or bus stop. Search runs on area names, so a vague location keeps you out of the results people actually look at.
You stay in control of who knows what
Your advert is public. Arrange viewings and share private details in Flatmate DMs.
You give it to someone once you have decided to show them the place, in chat, not in the advert.
On this website names are shortened and photos blurred. Full profiles are available inside the app.
Every request arrives with a profile: budget, areas, whether they are ID verified, and what they wrote about themselves. Decline without explaining if it is not right.
Take the listing down whenever you want. While it is live, respond to genuine enquiries in Flatmate DMs or decline requests that are not a fit. Unresponsive listings may be paused or removed under our Terms.
Listing a room in Port Harcourt: questions people ask
How do I find a flatmate for my spare room in Port Harcourt?
Download Flatmate, add the room with photos, the rent and what it covers, and set the house rules. 145 people are looking for somewhere to share in Port Harcourt, and 3 rooms are listed against them. People message you through the app, and you read their profile before you reply.
Does it cost anything to list a room?
Publishing a photo listing costs 2 credits, or 5 credits with a video. Adding a video later costs 3 credits. Editing, pausing and reactivating an existing listing are free, and so is browsing. New accounts start with 10 free credits.
Will I be buried in messages from people who are not serious?
Starting a chat costs the sender 2.5 credits, which is enough to stop the one-word scattergun messages that make free groups unusable. You can review their profile and decline requests that are not a fit.
How much should I charge for a room in Port Harcourt?
Price it against what sharers actually budget, not against whole-flat rents. Members searching in Port Harcourt typically set between ₦100k and ₦300k a year for their share. Say clearly whether your figure covers the room alone and which bills are on top.
Do I have to show my face or my address?
No. Your address is never on the listing, and on the website names are shortened and photos blurred. You choose who to chat with, and you share the address when you have decided to show someone the place.
Can I say I only want a woman, or only a man?
Yes. Set the preference on the listing and it shows in the advert, because people search for female-only and male-only rooms directly. Being specific gets you fewer messages and better ones.
What if I change my mind?
Take the listing down whenever you want. While it is live, respond to genuine enquiries in Flatmate DMs or decline requests that are not a fit. Unresponsive listings may be paused or removed under our Terms.
