For a smooth co-living experience, we recommend reading our ethical charter (community rules) and our safety guide (best practices before and during cohabitation).
ToitChezMoi is a platform connecting people who offer accommodation with people looking for a place to live and able to provide services. The website lets members create a profile, publish or browse listings and start a conversation before any cohabitation begins.
ToitChezMoi is not a party to the contract agreed between members. The platform facilitates the connection, provides practical guidance and encourages a written framework, but the host and the cohabitant remain responsible for the commitments they make together.
To sign up as a host, create an account and choose the “I offer accommodation” path. Then complete your profile and describe the accommodation, accessible spaces, intended duration, house rules and any expected services.
A clear listing helps the future cohabitant understand the framework quickly: location, type of home, available room, possible charges, requested services, approximate schedule and human expectations.
Start by entering your city or search area, then review available listings. Read the description carefully: accommodation, requested services, duration, house rules and host information.
Before contacting a host, make sure your profile is complete. A polite, precise and personalised message works better than a generic request. Briefly explain your situation, availability and the services you can genuinely provide.
Home-for-services means making a room, studio or part of a home available in return for services agreed in advance. These services may include presence, occasional help, school pick-up, tutoring, shopping, gardening or other small services suited to the situation.
The key point is balance. The services must remain reasonable, compatible with the cohabitant’s personal or professional life, and should not create an unclear situation. A written agreement should specify duration, schedules, spaces provided, house rules and exit conditions.
To sign up as a cohabitant, create an account and choose the “I am looking for accommodation” path. Fill in your profile, search area, availability, skills and the services you can reasonably offer.
Do not promise too much just to obtain accommodation. A good profile states what you can do, what you do not want to do, your study or work constraints and your expectations regarding privacy and house rules.
Open the listing you are interested in, read the conditions again and use the contact button to send a message. Your first message should show that you understood the listing and that your profile may match the need expressed.
Avoid very short messages such as “available?”. Prefer a simple introduction: who you are, why the accommodation interests you, your availability, your skills and any useful questions before a visit or deeper exchange.
