How are my expenses calculated?We establish a fixed price based on the previous year's consumption.

The calculation of the charges per person is based on the number of rooms in the apartment and the length of time the roommate has rented the room.

What are the rules of life at Wellow?Rule 1: In respect we trust Respect is essential for successful community living. Always take into consideration the presence and needs of others: pay attention to your volume, warn your roommates before receiving visits and offer them a peaceful living environment. Likewise, be nice to your neighbors. Do not hesitate to introduce yourself to them. Pro tip: Helping an older person ride groceries is always good for Karma. Rule 2: Stand up & Speak up Communication is the key to a pleasant shared life. Take advantage of the discussion group between roommates to communicate, share important information or simply offer a drink. Do not wait for a problem to become too serious before solving it. Rule 3: Sharing is caring Some expenses are indivisible for the life of the flatshare and it is often much easier to divide them between each occupant. Take the time to identify common utility products between roommates (hygiene and household products, for example), then use the recommended App (Tricount) to distribute the cost of purchasing these products fairly. Rule 4: Clean is the new hype Providing a comfortable and clean living environment for everyone is our mission. It is also yours. Define a fair distribution of household chores, starting from the one proposed by Wellow. Be sure to actively participate in household chores and educate your housemates. Household sessions are always more fun when done together and to music. Rule 5: Keep it clean like your life depends on it The biggest source of dissatisfaction between roommates often lies in the fact of not tidying up after using the equipment. Be sure to wash, put away, and keep the spaces as you found them. Make a commitment to always do your dishes and keep the sink clean after each use. Rule 6: Give as you receive Mutual aid is at the heart of the roommate. When someone does a favor for you, be sure to return the device. Also, do not hesitate to help out new tenants, most of our members are new to town. Share your top tips to help new members of our community settle into the city comfortably. Rule 7: If you don't own it, you don't touch it Do not use things that are not yours and that belong to your roommates, without asking permission. In addition, keep your belongings in your room to allow other roommates to freely enjoy the common areas. Rule 8: Responsibilities are gold Nothing is invincible, especially not a glass or a plate. If it ever happens, take responsibility for it. If equipment is broken or damaged without an identified person, the deposit of each member of the roommate may be affected. Communicate with us quickly in case of any problems within the apartment. In this way, we can ensure an exceptional daily experience. Rule 9: Having a room is cool, being part of a community is better Wellow is not just this flatshare, it's all the Wellow House flatshares across the city and the young French and international people who make up our community. We organize regular events and activities allowing everyone to meet and discover the city. Participate and bring your roommates: always invited, never obliged!

Who are we ?Wellow is a start-up on a mission to facilitate access to housing for young working people. Wellow becomes the main tenant of many apartments to facilitate this access to housing. On the same model as a company that would rent an apartment to house its employee. By securing the rental on the owner's side, we are then able to open access to young professionals looking for a flatshare. We then invest in the apartment to optimize it and furnish it with all the necessary comfort. Our goal: that all you have to do is put down your suitcase. Inherent to our mission to fight for access to housing, we also work against the social isolation that increasingly affects young working people. Therefore, we offer integration into a community, with activities in town every week.
