Frequently Asked Questions

What is ToitChezMoi? +

ToitChezMoi is a platform that connects people offering accommodation with people offering services, based on a home-for-services exchange.

The goal is to support a clear and reassuring co-living arrangement with transparent profiles and conversations.

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.

What is intergenerational cohabitation? +

Intergenerational cohabitation brings together people from different generations, often in exchange for services or presence.

It promotes social connection while meeting practical needs for housing and reassurance.

Is ToitChezMoi available in my area? +

Yes, ToitChezMoi is available throughout France, and the service is intended to expand internationally over time.

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.

What level of presence is expected? +

Presence should be clearly defined and remain reasonable, compatible with each person’s lifestyle.

If the number of hours becomes too high, the framework should be reviewed.
