Frequently Asked Questions

Is OlderShare free to use?

Yes, completely free. There are no fees for listing or browsing.

Is my information safe?

Your listing is visible to other OlderShare users so they can contact you. We recommend arranging to meet in a public place first and telling a friend or family member about any meeting.

Do I need to be retired?

Not at all — OlderShare is open to anyone aged 50 or over, working or retired.

Can I list even if I just want a room, not a whole house?

Absolutely. Use the "I'm Looking" option on the listing form to tell people you're seeking a room in a shared home.
