What’s the experience?

By renting your spare room, you stand for:

1) Connectedness

Every room that we rent brings people closer together.

2) Sustainability

Every room that we rent means that a new room doesn’t need to be built.

3) Affordability

Every room that we rent creates an affordable home for someone in need.

The future of housing is shared

Happipad is a home sharing platform that transforms empty bedrooms into affordable housing and opportunities for connection.

Become a Host

You can help create a world where housing is affordable and people are connected – one spare room at a time.

Testimonials

I was concerned sharing a home at first, but after experiencing living with a wonderful family I would never live in student residence again. We share meals and connect like a family, it's a wonderful feeling.

Charmaine – Happipad Guest

Happipad has completely changed my experience with renting. All of the guests who have lived with me have been amazing.

Linda – Happipad Host

My children connected with my guest right away and loved to play with her. This gave me more time for myself and a role model for my daughter.

Wendy – Happipad Host

As an international student I was very worried about adjusting to a new community. After moving in with my host I felt like I was right at home. This has been by far my best student housing experience.
