Flatshare in Tunisia: share a home or an office

A student newly arrived in Tunis, a young professional starting out in Sousse, a freelancer looking for a shared office in Ariana? Flatsharing has become the smart way to find a place to live or work without blowing your budget. On Houni.tn, browse every flatshare listing in Tunisia, whether it is a room in a flat or a desk in a shared workspace.

Splitting the rent, sharing the bills, breaking the solitude: flatsharing is gaining ground in every major city in the country. Post your own listing or reply to others, filtering by city, budget and property type.

Why choose a flatshare?

• A budget split several ways: a room in a flatshare often costs two to three times less than a whole studio in the same neighbourhood.
• Shared bills: water, electricity, internet and sometimes the cleaning are divided between flatmates.
• Better located homes: as a group, you can afford S+3 or S+4 flats in neighbourhoods that would otherwise be out of reach.
• A built-in social life: ideal when you land in a city you do not yet know.

Student flatshares: the university neighbourhoods

Every new academic year, thousands of students look for a room near their faculty. Plan ahead: the best offers go as early as the summer.

Greater Tunis

Manouba, El Manar, Bardo and Mourouj are home to the campuses and halls of residence. The Cité Olympique and Ariana are also popular thanks to public transport and the light metro.

Sousse and Monastir

The universities of the Sahel draw students from all over the country. A flatshare near the university district of Sousse or the centre of Monastir puts lectures within walking distance.

Sfax and the other hubs

Sfax, Kairouan, Gabès and Bizerte have major faculties and an affordable rental stock: the budget for a room there sometimes drops below 200 dinars a month.

Shared offices: the professional side of flatsharing

Sharing is not just about housing. Freelancers, startups and small teams increasingly share open-plan offices in Tunis, at the Lac, in Charguia or at the Centre Urbain Nord. Renting a desk or a room in an already equipped office avoids committing to a full commercial lease, while offering a credible business address and lower fixed costs.

Make a success of your flatshare in 4 steps

1. Define your criteria: neighbourhood, maximum budget, quiet or sociable atmosphere.
2. Meet your future flatmates before committing, even by video call.
3. Put the rules in writing: how the rent, bills and chores are divided.
4. Insist on a clear contract naming every occupant and setting out how someone can move out.
