The Roomradar

The Roomradar is a rental-search platform that helps people find rooms and shared housing by monitoring Facebook housing groups. On its Dublin service, it scans dozens of groups around the clock, filters posts according to a user’s preferences, and sends email alerts when a matching listing appears. Listings are also presented on an interactive map, helping users review available options and respond sooner in a competitive market.

Users can set search criteria such as location and other preferences, then see how many listings match. The service is designed to reduce the time spent scrolling through Facebook posts and to give renters an earlier opportunity to contact advertisers. The Roomradar does not rent out rooms itself; instead, it aggregates listings and connects searchers with homeowners or current tenants seeking roommates. Its focus is private-market accommodation posted in Facebook groups, rather than social housing. The website offers a seven-day free trial, paid pricing options, and customer support, alongside information about how the service works, frequently asked questions, terms, and privacy.
