Our members are working professionals from all over the world and on average aged between 25 and 35 years old. Everyone who lives in a shared apartment at LifeX, has been vetted by our booking team to ensure a good community fit.

We screen for the right fit. You choose the right space.

We don't match individual members to specific housemates. Instead, every applicant goes through the same document and call process, which helps us confirm they're a good fit for coliving — considering things like lifestyle and how they'll contribute to a shared home. This means you can trust that everyone in your home has been vetted the same way.

We use a key share box system, so you have the flexibility to move in when it fits you best. After signing the rental contract, you will receive an invitation to download our LifeX member app where you can fill in your arrival day and time, and reach out to our community support team to arrange your move-in.

Do you want to move in at short notice? Let us know and we will check when is the first possibility to move in.

Do you want to move in in the middle of the month? In general, our contracts start on the first of the month and end on the last day of the month. If you want to move in this month still, we have the possibility to prorate your first month, so you don't pay for the full month. Let us know what your plan is and we would be happy to discuss the options.

The advertised prices are all-inclusive, which means they do not only contain the rent but also all utilities, additional services like cleaning and maintenance, internet and housing taxes. You can find more details when you hover over "All bills included" or on the sign up page for each apartment under "Monthly Price."

All our prices are all-inclusive, which means they do not only contain the rent but also all utilities, additional services like cleaning and maintenance, internet and housing taxes. You can find more details under the tab 'What's included'.

There is no maximum rental period and you can stay as long as your want.

For coliving units you may terminate your contract at any time with a minimum of one running month's notice. For studio apartments you can terminate your contract with a minimum of 2 months notice. Our contracts always end on the last day of the month. For example, if you terminate your coliving contract on June 4th, your lease will end on July 31st. If you terminate your studio apartment contract on June 4th, your lease will end on August 31st.
You’re welcome to give longer notice if you already know your plans! (e.g. if your minimum stay is 3 months starting January 1st and you give notice in January, the earliest end date would be March 31st).

- Cleaning of the shared areas every two weeks

Our apartments are fully furnished and set up in a way that you can get settled and feel at home right away. You can expect the apartment to have the furniture and decorations as shown in the pictures.

Unfortunately, we are not able to offer viewings due to the privacy of our existing tenant(s) and for logistical reasons. Part of the service that we provide, is the ease and comfort of living in a shared apartment, without having to worry about an empty room and finding new housemates. However, we can guarantee that all our apartments have the same high quality and the pictures and floor plans on the website give you a realistic idea of what you can expect.
