As of July 2026, an Ev Paylaşımı listing title must contain 10–100 characters, the description 50–2,000 characters, and a listing can include up to 10 photos. An effective roommate listing explains everyday life in the home as clearly as location and budget.
ℹ️July 2026 update
- The 10–100 character title, 50–2,000 character description and 10-photo limit were rechecked against the product form.
- The guide now gives separate title and description examples for “Has Room” and “Looking for Room” listings.
- Photo order, approximate location, room details and household routine now have separate checklists.
Which listing type should you choose?
Choose “Has Room” if you have a property or room to share, and “Looking for Room” if you need a place to live; the selected type defines the form and listing context.
Choose your real situation at the start because the listing type cannot be changed later. The wrong type makes the offer difficult to understand.[1]
A “Has Room” listing describes the property and current household. A “Looking for Room” listing explains preferred areas, budget and the kind of home life the person wants.
| Field | Has Room | Looking for Room |
|---|---|---|
| Location | The actual city and district of the home | Areas you could genuinely move to |
| Budget | Monthly rent share and included household costs | Maximum monthly budget |
| Photos | Room and common areas | Current photos that introduce you naturally |
| Description | Home, household and daily routine | Routine, move-in timing and expectations |
How do you write a roommate listing title?
A good listing title uses 10–100 characters to state the district or transport focus, the room offer or search, and one genuinely distinctive feature.
“Furnished room near the metro in Kadıköy” explains location, offer and feature at a glance. “Urgent roommate wanted” gives a candidate little information.
Do not promote a feature that the listing cannot support. The description and photos should confirm the title.
- State the district, neighbourhood or transport focus
- Say clearly whether you offer or need a room
- Add a real detail such as furniture, private bathroom or work-from-home suitability
- Keep phone numbers, email and social profiles out of the title
- Avoid repeated capitals, exclamation marks and urgency
What information belongs in the listing description?
A description of at least 50 characters should let a candidate make an initial judgement about location, room, household, budget, move-in timing and daily routine.
A useful structure is three short parts: the physical home, everyday life in the home and the person you hope to meet.
Replace “looking for a tidy person” with specific expectations for cleaning, guests and quiet hours. Concrete language helps candidates assess themselves.
- Write a short description of the home or the area you need.
- State the monthly rent share or maximum budget and what common costs it includes.
- Describe the number of residents and the basic household routine.
- Add when the room is available or when you hope to move.
- Name two or three roommate qualities that matter in daily life.
- Remove vague and repeated sentences before publishing.
How should budget information appear in a listing?
Budget information should separate the monthly rent share from the household cost categories included in that figure instead of presenting one unexplained number.
A candidate needs to know whether building fees, internet or similar common costs sit inside the stated figure. Do not present an unknown or variable amount as fixed.
Someone using the maximum-budget field should enter a range they could genuinely consider. An extremely wide range makes matching less meaningful.
💡Clear example
How should listing photos be selected?
Use up to 10 current photos and choose a bright, informative view of the room or main living area first because the first photo becomes the cover.
People with a home should show the room from different angles together with the kitchen, bathroom and common areas. Repeating a similar corner adds little information.
People looking for a home should use current, natural photos that introduce the person behind the profile rather than old or heavily filtered images.
- A bright, wide cover photo
- At least two angles of the room
- Kitchen, bathroom and common living space
- Workspace, balcony or storage when relevant
- Natural light that shows the current condition
- No identity document, bill, phone number or private information belonging to another person
What should you review before publishing?
Before publishing, confirm that the title, description, budget, location and photos all describe the same home or the same housing need.
Read the listing as someone who has never met you. Ask whether that person can understand where, with whom and under what household routine they would live.
Ev Paylaşımı listings may go through content moderation, but moderation does not mean that every statement in a listing has been verified by the platform.[2]
- Do title and description use the same location and listing type?
- Does the budget match the household costs described?
- Are the photos current and in a useful order?
- Are everyday expectations specific?
- Have personal contact details and private documents been removed?
