How it works

A calmer way to find a shared home

StayCircle connects verified seekers and hosts directly, with moderation, privacy and honest pricing built in.

For people looking for a room

Step 1

Search with real filters

Filter by city, locality, rent, deposit, furnishing, beds available and amenities. Every result is an approved listing — drafts and unmoderated posts never appear.

Step 2

Ask before you commit

Send an enquiry or start a chat. Your phone number and email stay private until you choose to share them. Hosts see your message, not your contact details.

Step 3

Schedule a visit

Pick a date and time slot. The host confirms, reschedules or declines. You can also request a virtual tour for out-of-town moves.

Step 4

Move in on your terms

Inspect the property, meet the flatmates, verify the rental agreement and only then pay the deposit directly to the landlord.

For hosts and flatmate-seekers with a room

Step 1

Create a listing

Add photos, rent, deposit, occupancy, house rules and flatmate preferences. Save a draft any time — you only need a verified email to publish.

Step 2

Get moderated

Our review team checks new and materially edited listings. You can respond to change requests and resubmit without starting over.

Step 3

Manage enquiries and visits

Reply from your dashboard, keep track of visit requests, and mark beds as filled when a room is taken.

Step 4

Keep availability fresh

Listings expire if availability is not reconfirmed. One tap from your dashboard keeps your listing live and accurate.

What we will never do

  • Ask you to pay a deposit through chat, UPI links or third-party forms.
  • Publish your exact address or phone number without your action.
  • Show unmoderated, rejected or expired listings in public search.
  • Auto-link a Google account to an existing password account without your consent.
