Fees and payouts at a glance

Here's the one-page version of what Coliving.com charges and what you receive. Detailed articles are linked below.

What residents pay

The resident sees one total at checkout, made up of:

Monthly rent — what you set in your listing.
One-time setup fee — a small fee on the first instalment that covers move-in admin (varies by market).
Service fee — Coliving.com's fee, shown separately to the resident.
Refundable deposit — held by Coliving and returned at check-out (where applicable).
VAT/GST — added automatically where local law requires.

What you receive

For each instalment a resident pays, you receive:

Resident's rent for the period
   minus host fee
   minus any deductions (deposit claims, refunds, fee adjustments)
= Your payout

You see the full breakdown for every booking in Wallet.

The host fee

A percentage of each rent instalment is shown in your fee settings; rates vary by market. It covers payment processing, customer support, fraud protection, marketing, and the platform. You'll see the exact percentage in your fee settings inside your account.

There is no listing fee, no monthly subscription, and no charge for declining requests. You only pay when a booking happens.

Payout schedule

Your payout is released 48 hoursafter the resident moves in. This gives both parties time to confirm the accommodation is as described before funds are transferred to you.
Payouts are credited to your connected bank account; arrival time depends on your bank (usually 1–3 business days).

Refunds and chargebacks

If you owe a resident a refund (e.g., cancellation, deduction reversal), it's debited from your future payouts.
If a resident's card is charged back fraudulently, we cover the loss — you keep your payout.
