How it works

A safe and secure way to rent a room.

Happipad is about matching two compatible people – a host and a guest – into a mutually beneficial living arrangement. The host earns some spare cash and the guest saves money. But how does this process really work? Check out these simple steps…

Everything is perfect!

Happipad has been above my expectations with the simplicity and reliability of the process and results. My hosts are concerned about my actual needs and expectations in regards to my housing and study experience.

Everything is perfect!

The whole idea of Happipad!

The whole idea of Happipad is a win both for the guest and the host. The selection methods, the security and safety, and your management of the program. I have learned how important building an operating agreement with my guest is.

The whole idea of Happipad!
Judy - Host

Great program. Thank you!!

Previously I had tried to rent out my room privately and it did not work out. I value the convenience of Happipad and the connecting with roommates that are compatible. Great program.

Great program. Thank you!!
