How to find roommates and apartments in Taipei

If you are looking for an apartment or a roommate, use this category here to place your ad.

Be careful! Don’t post your exact address + name. Use a mobile Phone number if possible. Better use email first and then get the phone number from people contacting you first.

Meet applicants somewhere outside the apartment first. You can say I pick you up from the nearest bus stop or MRT station.

Don't be alone in your apartment when people come to sea it.

Have your place cleaned up and make important things like keys, important papers and documents inaccessible.

Take a deposit from your roommates 2 month rent is usually ok.

Sign a contract even you'll running the risk living with someone you found out that you don't like. This is what you should figure during an interview but we all can get it wrong.

The monthly rent in Taipei city varies from 4000NT$ to 12000NT$ for a single room in an apartment to share. A single room for more than 8000NT$ should have its own bathroom. There is also the chance to find your own studio sized apartment starting at 8000NT$ a month but you'll have to sign a minimum one year contract.

I hope that helps

good luck

See you in Taipei, Taiwan!
