Frequently Asked Questions
What is co-living?
What’s the application process like?
The application process is easy and can all be completed online, or in-person if you’re local. First, you'll fill out the application form on their site and chat with one of their home specialists. Then, if you’re local to the area, you can go for an in-person tour, or if you’re remote, they can tour with you virtually. After completing a virtual or in-person tour with a home specialist, you will receive an application form that can be filled out online or in person. You will likely need to speak to a specialist before the tour to qualify and match for the home that fits your needs best. At that time, you can reserve the room while they conduct a background check, and if everything checks out, you sign your lease.
What’s included with coliving? What should I bring when I move in?
As their member, your rent includes a full-sized bed frame, nightstand, lamp, clothes storage, and hangers. In your shared suite, you’ll find a fully-furnished living room and dining area, with appliances, cutlery, and household essentials including toilet paper, dishwashing soap, sponges, and laundry detergent. Alongside your personal items, they recommend bringing bed and bathroom linens alongside any personal decor.They do not allow members to bring in extra furniture.
Their offerings may differ depending on your home. Please ask your leasing specialist for a full list of what’s included.
What is included in non-coliving apartments?
Is parking available?
Parking availability is dependent on each home! If a building has a parking garage or lot, you’ll see a Parking icon on their website. Please ask your leasing specialist about available spaces.
Can I pick my roommates in my coliving suite?
If you and a friend would like to live in the same coliving suite together, they are happy to accommodate your request given that you both qualify and there is availability in the suite. However, due to Fair Housing Laws, they can’t allow members to pick roommates based on factors like gender, religion etc. For example, that means they can’t guarantee you will have an all-female suite.
Can I share a room with a friend?
The property offers rooms with queen-sized beds and ensuite bathrooms at select homes for couples who are looking to live together in a coliving suite. They do not allow members to bring additional furniture.
What happens if I don’t get along with my roommates?
The PMG is designed to reduce the typical arguments and tensions that come with roommate living, like splitting the bills, buying essentials like toilet paper, and choosing furniture.They do ask that members be respectful of one another and their home, and perform chores like taking out the trash, filling the dishwasher, and maintaining a livable space. However, as a property manager, it’s not within Common’s power to enforce those behaviors. If your roommate is in violation of their lease, please reach out to their Member Support team. In such cases, they may be able to transfer you to another unit or home.
Can I have a private bathroom?
Are pets allowed?
While they love animals, they only allow pets at their private studio and 1- and 2-bedroom apartments. In their coliving suites, pets may be allowed as accommodation for tenants with a qualified disability.
