Accommodation/Application
Co-living is a lifestyle that minimizes private space and maximizes shared areas. People live, work, and share life, culture, and language together. We aim to simplify urban living for young people by eliminating tedious procedures—move in easily, rent for as short as one month, with no agent fees or the hassle of paying various utility bills each month. Our dedicated service makes renting simple and stress-free.
Just fill out the application form on the “Application” page on our website. Follow the steps, and our staff will contact you.
The co-living concept emphasizes collaboration and sharing. All our apartments feature shared living rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, and balconies to foster interaction. Therefore, none of our rooms have private bathrooms or function as traditional standalone studios.
Our rental terms are highly flexible, ranging from a minimum of one month to a maximum of one year. You can adjust your rental period as needed: simply notify us 45 days before the lease ends to renew or at least 30 days in advance if you’re not renewing.
When signing the contract, you don’t need to confirm your move-out date; just provide a tentative date that you’re confident you can fulfill so we can include it in the agreement.
Note: If your stay is only one month, please confirm whether you want to renew within the first week after moving in to allow for proper arrangements.

We screen all prospective tenants to ensure a good living experience for everyone. As long as you’re friendly, easygoing, and enjoy making friends, we’d love to welcome you to our co-living family.
No problem at all! A basic understanding of English is sufficient to join us. Many tenants are just starting to learn English or Chinese, and many international residents are eager to explore local culture or improve their language skills. Everyone here is friendly, and local tenants often lend a hand when needed. Many of our residents have seen their language skills improve significantly after moving in.
Unfortunately, no. Since we often have more applicants than rooms available, submitting an application only allows us to review and check if we have a suitable room for you. Once matched, you’ll be able to move into Home Sweet Home.
Once you’re matched with a room, it takes 5-7 business days to complete the necessary administrative procedures before your move-in can be arranged. You can refer to the “Move-in Procedures” on the Reservation Policy page for details.
For stays shorter than a full month, rent is calculated proportionally based on the number of days in that month.
Example: If your monthly rent is 16,500 NT and the month has 30 days, staying for 10 days would cost: 16,500 ÷ 30 days × 10 days = 5,500 NT.
Example: If your monthly rent is 16,500 NT and the month has 30 days, staying for 10 days would cost: 16,500 ÷ 30 days × 10 days = 5,500 NT.

Cleaning of shared spaces and garbage collection is handled by staff from Home Sweet Home, so tenants do not need to chase garbage trucks. Public areas are cleaned weekly by our cleaning staff, but flatmates are responsible for maintaining cleanliness, cleaning their rooms, and tidying up shared spaces after use. Everyone is expected to help maintain our co-living home!
We don’t have a curfew. However, we kindly ask you to keep the noise down when coming and going late at night to avoid disturbing others.

However, if you have specific brand preferences, you’re welcome to purchase your own (just make sure to label them to avoid confusion).
You’re welcome to invite friends to visit, but overnight stays are strictly prohibited to respect other tenants’ privacy. Visitors must leave by 10 PM.

If you are purchasing items from an online platform, you can choose to have your package delivered to a nearby convenience store and pick it up using your identification.

Three tips to find a shared house that suits you the most
When you become a freelancer or start-up team, do you need more business connections and assistance from different industries? If you often need to travel to meet customers and don’t want to spend too much time in traffic, the location of the workspace is very important . Do you need to prepare a lot of other things when working in this space, can you just bring a laptop and work materials? Then the completeness of the equipment in the space also needs to be considered. In this way, you will be able to identify your priorities for the workspace, and it will be clearer about the space you want.
Varied co-working spaces (shared offices) have different restrictions, such as the space's opening time, air-conditioning use time, which piror industry this co-working space preferred, whether 24h access control is available, and so on. etc. Knowing these usage norms and space rules will also make the process of using the workspace more comfortable if it is clear from the start. At the same time, you may be concerned about whether the co-working space's atmosphere is to your liking, as well as the type of individuals you want to work with in the future; therefore, you must remember to ask the operator about these concerns before signing the contract; after all, only after understanding these can you sign the contract.
Follow the rules of the Home Sweet Home co-working space and speak softly especially when you are in the public spaces. Clean the surroundings on your own and treasure all of the decorative items in the space. There will be no additional cleaning expenses, but if the furniture is damaged, there will be additional maintenance fees. Please respect the venue's closing time and do not arrive early or use overtime. Cooking or using open flame heating equipment is not recommended. Smoking, narcotics, transporting dangerous items, gambling, and other activities that violate laws, rules, public order, or good customs are absolutely forbidden.
