Why rent with us?
We understand that finding your perfect room can be a real pain, so we’ve simplified the process for you.
Do I have to pay a deposit?
We offer 2 deposit options. As well as a traditional 5 week deposit, we’ve partnered with flatfair to offer you the option of securing this room with their No Deposit Scheme. With flatfair, once you meet their eligibility criteria, you can enjoy much lower upfront move-in costs, equivalent to just one week’s rent (+VAT). By working with flatfair, we aim to make the renting process faster, more transparent, and more affordable for exceptional tenants like you. While flatfair’s No Deposit program saves you from paying a traditional security deposit, it’s important to note that you are still responsible for any damages or unpaid rent at the end of your tenancy. However, the good news is that with flatfair, you can simply register your debit card and pay for any outstanding obligations when you leave. For more details about flatfair and their services, feel free to visit their website at www.flatfair.co.uk.
Is there a minimum contract length?
Our contracts are designed with flexibility in mind. Initially, our contracts are set for 6 months, giving you a sense of security and stability. After the initial period, they automatically transition into a monthly rolling contract, providing you with even more flexibility and freedom.
Who will I be living with?
When it comes to matching housemates, we take care to ensure that you’ll be living with other working professionals. It’s our mission to create a living situation where everyone feels at home, which is why we take the time to get to know each tenant and match them with housemates who we think they will get along with.
What is included in the rent?
Everything! When we say “everything,” we mean everything! You can rest assured that all bills are included in your rent, including WIFI, water, electricity, gas, council tax, and TV license. To top it off, we also ensure that your bedroom is fully furnished with everything you need, along with a fully stocked kitchen complete with pots and pans. We know that keeping communal spaces clean and comfortable is important, which is why we provide a cleaner once a week, included in your rent, to maintain the communal areas.

What Our Housemates Say
Don't just take our word for it
I found the team very supportive from the first call to establish what I wanted to making provision to helping me move in during the festivities. Will highly recommend them.
They made the rent a peaceful and loving one for me, they are accessible, accountable and reliable, i didn’t have to stress much to get an apartment with them. Kudos to Rooms in Kent
My experience with Rooms in Kent has been amazing. From the first stage of finding a room that suits my requirements to the day of moving in, the process was made smooth and efficient by Laura and Holly. I would highly recommend Rooms in Kent, especially for people renting for the first time like me. They are reliable and helpful.
I have been in contact with Laura Josephs. She provided me an outstanding customer service, and helped me finding a room in literally 15 minutes. Responsive, informative, with positive energy.
Rooms in Kent have been very accommodating and have helped me find a nice room that is close to my job and the other residents are all professionals so they are not up at all hrs of the night which is great. Holly has been wonderful in helping with general issues and finding house mates that are suitable for the environment.
My personal experience with moving with rooms in Kent was smooth and quick. They are really supportive and responsible about their work . I'm genuinely happy to stay here !
I highly recommend Rooms in Kent. I’m impressed with their professionalism and good customer service from the very beginning until the date of my moving in. Thanks to Laura for being kind, understanding and making me feel comfortable, and also for the rest of the staffs who are very responsive to all of my queries.
Brilliant move in! Super easy and regular contact. Laura was so helpful with the viewing and move in process, thank you so much!
The application is efficient and everything is done online and the agents are helpful.
Amazing experience renting with them! Well equipped and affordable.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Been letting from them for the last two months and they have really good response time from agents plus great service! **Update: stayed with RIK for a total of 10 months and it was an extremely good experience. The entire team esp Holly were very helpful and responsible and gave timely response for everything. My check out process was very smooth as well. Overall highly satisfied and would personally recommend RIK to everyone who is looking for a good affordable house share in Ashford. 1
The best experience I’ve had with renting a place. The people that help you move in are super friendly and informative, they all deserve a box of 6 original glazed krispey kreme doughnuts each. the whole process is super quick and efficient. The app they give us has a nice interface and is very reliable. The rooms are spacious and have motion sensor lights, free parking. Nice and quiet area and the rent price is affordable most of all. The list goes on
I have stayed with RIK for 6 years and was worried about moving.The team was very helpful, supportive and very considerate throughout.The reference process was quick , easy, and every detail well explained, with no surprise costs.
I must admit I am sad to be leaving. I have had no issues with the room I have been using with rooms in Kent. From the moment I needed a place to stay Laura ensured that I got what I needed and explained everything in detail (as I was new to the country and its policies with regards to tenancy). I especially liked the Occupant app as it made it easier to informed the manager of issues. Any issues lodged would be promptly attended to and the manager is readily available. If only what I required was offered by R.I.K I'd still be a tenant but alas. I would definitely recommend R.I.K.
It took me some time to find somewhere to call home. But now I’ve found somewhere and that’s with a big thank you to Laura. The patience and attentiveness she gave was top tier. Always a pleasure catching up with her during work time. Holly the manager, very professional and efficient. They got me in the property within a month, and are a phone call away if there are any problems. Hope this is a start to a beautiful tenancy friendship
Laura, has been helpful through this process and the room is excellent. Laura explained the process and gave a professional and excellent service, which has now left a great impression of Rooms in Kent.
Friendly and helpful staff .Quick response to any issues, clean house ,friendly housemates. If anyone looking to rent a room highly recommend RiK.
Professional and personal service provided. Comfortable and secure rooms. Quick to address any problems, issues and concerns. Really lovely place all round.
I was completely satisfied with the service and guidance provided by Rooms in Kent. I would personally thank Laura for being so kind throughout my journey from online room viewing to finally handing over me the keys. She did a wonderful job giving me the walkthrough of whole house and explaining everything. Thank you once again Laura for your effort and help.
The room I’ve recently rented with Rooms in Kent is amazing. I felt like home from the very beginning. It’s in a new building, clean and well equipped, located in a nice and quiet area.

I am very happy with the choice I made and I would definitely recommend Rooms in Kent.

I moved in about a month ago and the whole experience was easy and smooth. The staff are extremely friendly and very approachable. This being the first time I have moved out on my own it can be really daunting but the staff are lovely I raised an issue and it was dealt with swiftly. It’s been the best decision I have made and the staff are a massive part of that. Thank you very much
Very professional. Any issues are promptly resolved and prioritised. Very clean property and affordable. Dealt with Holly mainly and she is diamond. (Google)
Their houses are well maintained and RiK make an effort to find professional tenants who will fit in with existing housemates. Staff are always friendly, communication is good and will email with anything relevant, and they check the facilities and appliances regularly. I haven't had many reasons to contact RiK but when I have they have been quick to respond. Very pleased. (Google)
I have rented through RIK on and off over the last 7 years. I have always found them thoroughly professional and helpful. I have been in 2 different properties and 3 different rooms. All have been to a good standard and I’ve dealt with different people over this time and always found them to be friendly and courteous and they have dealt with any issues I raised. I would recommend them to others and have done over the years. (Google)
Responsible and kind staff. Clean and properly maintained houses. Perfect for busy professionals. Would happily recommend RIK. (Google)
I would like to thank you – Rooms in Kent – and the landlord. It is one of the best shared houses I have lived in and the house mates have been mostly excellent, which says a lot of good things about your vetting process.
Really enjoyed my stay at RIK. Really good service, if I were to move to Ashford again would definitely stay there. Very clean rooms well equipped with all the facilities you require. (Google)

Very nice clean environment and rooms tidy shared facilities respectful housemates. I wouldn't expect more that was offered I'm a happy customer. (Google)
Professional service, friendly and helpful staff...cannot fault. (Google)
Wonderful service, wonderful properties and really friendly and helpful. Love the place.
I lived in a house of Rooms in Kents for nearly 3 years, recently moved into my own place. Whilst I was there they always looked after you, hassle-free, did anything to make you feel at home and sorted any issues promptly... not that there ever was many, if any problems at all! I was treated fairly and when it came to leaving, they were accommodating with checkout appointments and the deposit was paid back quickly with no issues. All in all, I would highly recommend!
I was a bit dubious of joining a house share due to horror stories from other people about bad housemates/landlords, but couldn't have been more wrong about that with Rooms in Kent. Rooms in Kent are probably the best agents I have dealt with in almost 10 years of renting, they are extremely responsive to issues and also brilliantly professional when it comes to our house and making it as nice a place to be as they can. 10/10 would recommend!
Always find the staff friendly and accommodating. Never had any issues and can’t fault the team. Spacious rooms decorated to a high standard. Would recommend Rooms In Kent highly.
When looking for a room in Ashford, I looked at many rooms. The RiK team then showed me around their rooms and the difference was obvious! Well priced, professional and well maintained. Once I took the room, renting with RiK was easy, straight forward and hassle free. The check in process was all very professional, which was reassuring. Any issues I had with the room or the house RiK dealt with quickly. The check out procedure was great and the team were flexible around my moving out. It’s a shame they don’t rent rooms in London, otherwise I could just move to another of their properties! I would happily recommend RiK to anyone looking to rent a room in Kent.
Settling in well... friendly and nice housemates. The house is well looked after and homily. I will definitely recommend. (Google)
Living with Rooms In Kent has been an all round positive experience. The rooms are of a good standard and issues are addressed quickly. Communicating with Rooms in Kent is done with easy with quick responses and regular contact.
