Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to pay anything before visiting the accommodation? +

No. You should never be asked to pay anything to “reserve” a place before meeting the host and visiting the accommodation. If someone insists, this is a warning sign—please report the profile immediately.

Can I bring someone with me when visiting the accommodation? +

Yes—this is recommended if it helps you feel more comfortable. Just let the host know in advance. Having someone with you can also help you keep perspective.

Are profiles verified on ToitChezMoi? +

ToitChezMoi encourages members to complete their profiles and communicate before meeting. Clear descriptions, photos and conversations help you feel more confident before committing.

What should I do if I feel uncomfortable during co-living? +

Feeling uncomfortable is a valid reason to speak up. If you feel safe doing so, start by discussing it with your host or cohabitant. If the situation doesn’t improve, contact ToitChezMoi and review your agreement to understand your exit options.
