Finding the perfect place to live doesn’t have to be a daunting task, which is why we created Meet & Greet™! We encourage both residents and potential roommates to respond promptly and keep the conversation going. When the Meet & Greet™ starts, we suggest asking the current residents about their living preferences, cleaning inclinations, household chore expectations, or preferred schedules. It will help you kick off the conversation and learn if living together will be a good fit.

Also, make sure your profile and bio information is up-to-date. This increases the chances of finding a good roommate match, so you can confidently move into a home you love. Learn more about our Meet & Greet™ Chat Policy here.

Once you become a Verified Bungalow Member, you’ll be able to start a Meet & Greet chat with current residents of a home you are interested in. From there, you can coordinate a time to meet, set up time to video chat or ask them to take you on a video tour of the home. If, for whatever reason, it's not a mutual fit, Bungalow will welcome you to chat with other roommates until you find your perfect home.

Have a whole group of friends? We have Homes available as well that may be a good fit. Or, you can use our referral program to refer your friends to Bungalow. Have your friends apply to be a part of the Bungalow community and tell our teams that they’re interested in joining your home. Once your friend moves in, depending on the state you are in, you may get up to a $500 referral fee.

Bungalow expects that you will treat your new home, roommates and the community with care and respect, but this is your collective home and you should set the house rules as a household, subject to any local community rules.

While residents share the entire home, each resident has their own private bedroom within the home.

When a resident notifies us that they’ll be moving out of their home, we send an email to all of their roommates with the next steps for their home. We will also start introducing you to Verified Bungalow Members through our Meet & Greet chat to help you choose your next roommate.

Community lies at the center of everything we do at Bungalow — and we believe the foundations of a strong community start in the home. For that reason, we designed our Meet & Greet process from the ground up to ensure our residents are able to review, chat, and get to know their potential roommates before selecting them to move in.

Bungalow individually evaluates requests for service and support animals. Please notify our Support Team in writing with your reasonable accommodation request via the Bungalow App. They will provide you with the appropriate next steps to make sure your request is processed. Proper documentation is needed before you can bring your pet in the home.

Bungalow works with maintenance partners and homeowners to quickly address important items within the home that are broken or otherwise not functioning as they should. We strive to address maintenance requests in a timely manner that appropriately reflects the urgency of the problem. For more info, refer to the following guide.

Sometimes things just unexpectedly break or go wrong, and when that happens Bungalow has got you covered. If you happen to break something, you’ll be responsible for paying for it — but we’re still here to help you get it fixed with top-quality maintenance at the best price.

For day-to-day tasks like taking out the trash, hanging mirrors or watering your houseplants, that’s your time to shine. Examples of other maintenance requests that fall under resident responsibility include:

• Installation or assembly of personal furnishings

• Changing lightbulbs

• Plumbing issues like clogged drains that arise due to resident use

• Disposal of trash or large items beyond weekly trash service

• Testing and troubleshooting blown fuses

• Bathroom fixtures like shower curtains and disposable bathroom items
