Where to list room rentals in Singapore

If you are renting out a room in Singapore, you are spoilt for choice when it comes to platforms.

For landlords, the challenge is usually “Where do I start, and how do I avoid scams or time-wasters?”
For property agents, the question is more about “Which channels actually make sense for room rentals, given the marketing cost?”

This guide walks through the main places where rooms are being listed in Singapore today, and how Hozuko fits into that mix as an affordable, room-focused option for both landlords and agents.

Quick overview of your options

Here are the main channels people use to list room rentals in Singapore:

• Hozuko (rental-focused platform, strong in rooms)
• PropertyGuru (agent-only portal with room rental sections)
• 99.co (agent-only portal with room rental sections)
• Room-focused websites such as rentinsingapore.com.sg
• Social platforms like Facebook Marketplace and Facebook Groups
• Telegram rental and community groups

A simple way to think about them:

Now let’s go a bit deeper into each.

1. Hozuko – built for room rentals in Singapore

Hozuko is a property rental platform built around how people actually rent in Singapore, with a strong focus on room rentals across HDB, condo and landed homes. You can browse current room listings here.

Why Hozuko works well for landlords

• Renter traffic that is growing rapidly
  Let's be real: everybody wants to post where the renters are. Hozuko might be new, but it is growing rapidly. Renter enquiries has been up 90% month-on-month.

• Mix of direct landlords and agents
  Renters see both agent-listed and direct-landlord rooms in one place, which keeps traffic healthy and attracts serious room hunters who are ready to move.

• Designed for everyday owners
  The listing flow is straightforward. You fill in your address, room type, price and key details, upload photos and you are live. No need to juggle credits, repost formulas or complicated packages.

• Safer experience for both sides
  Hozuko focuses on trust and safety, including verification options and scam mitigation measures. That helps you avoid some of the “too good to be true” enquiries that often show up on completely open social channels.

Why Hozuko makes sense for property agents

If you work the rental and room segment, you already know that marketing spend adds up quickly.

On PropertyGuru and 99.co, there are large numbers of room listings at any point in time, across HDB and private homes. The reach is strong, but it also means:

• You are competing with a very big pool of rooms for attention.
• You are paying for subscription packages and visibility tools that are priced across the whole market, not just for room rentals.

For room work in particular, some agents feel that the cost to market on these portals can be on the higher side, especially when commissions are lower than for whole-unit or sales transactions.

Hozuko gives you a more affordable way to reach renters who are already in “room rental” mode, without needing to commit to a heavy package. It works especially well as:

• A supplementary channel on top of your PropertyGuru and 99.co presence.
• A place to push room listings that may not justify significant ad spend.
• A way to tap into Hozuko's rapidly growing renter traffic (90% month-on-month growth in number of renter enquiries).

Because Hozuko is still growing, your room listing can enjoy strong visibility relative to the number of enquiries coming in. You are early, which is usually when marketing ROI is the friendliest.

2. PropertyGuru and 99.co and their room sections

PropertyGuru and 99.co are still the default portals many tenants think of when they first start their search. Both platforms have dedicated sections for room rentals, covering HDB, condos and landed properties.

For agents

• They offer very wide exposure and are built deeply around agent workflows.
• They are strong “must-have” channels for many agents, especially if you are also handling whole-unit rentals and sales listings.
• The trade-off is cost. Subscriptions, reposts and boosting options are real marketing line items, and for room rentals, the numbers can feel tight when you look at total commission versus ad spend.

This is where it helps to view Hozuko as a complementary channel. You keep your core presence on PropertyGuru and 99.co, then layer Hozuko on top for additional room-focused exposure at a more manageable cost.

For landlords

For most individual landlords, these portals are not self-serve. Only licensed property agents can post, so you would typically engage an agent if you want your room advertised there.

If you prefer to rent direct, you will usually look at platforms that are open to owner listings, such as Hozuko, room-focused sites and selected social platforms.

3. Room-focused websites (e.g. rentinsingapore.com.sg)

There are also specialist websites that focus heavily on rooms and flatshares. One example is rentinsingapore.com.sg, which positions itself as a room rental and roommate marketplace for Singapore, with listings ranging from shared rooms to entire flats.

For landlords:

• You can usually list directly and attract renters scanning specifically for rooms.
• The audience often includes students, young working adults and people looking for housemates.

For agents:

• These platforms can be another supplementary channel for room stock.
• The main consideration is how much time you want to spend managing enquiries across multiple sites.

4. Facebook Marketplace and Facebook Groups

Facebook is a big part of the room rental ecosystem in Singapore.

You will find:

• Facebook Marketplace listings for rooms and shared units.
• Dedicated groups for rentals, expats, specific nationalities and even particular neighbourhoods.

This can be useful for both landlords and agents:

• It is free to post.
• You can sometimes reach very targeted communities, for example people working around a particular business park or renters from a specific background.

But there are trade-offs:

• Listings get pushed down quickly as new posts appear.
• You spend more time filtering casual enquiries and scams.
• Conversations happen inside Messenger, which can be hard to track compared with a structured rental platform.

Many landlords and agents treat Facebook as a secondary channel, while relying on Hozuko and other dedicated platforms for their main listing presence.

5. Telegram rental groups

Telegram rental and community groups have grown in popularity, especially among younger renters and very price-sensitive segments.

Pros:

• Free to post.
• Fast responses when the group is active.
• Good for filling rooms quickly when the price is attractive.

Cons:

• High noise levels, with many posts back-to-back.
• Little to no verification or protection. Infamous platform for scam activities.
• Your listing is visible only to people inside that specific channel.

Because of that, Telegram tends to work best when paired with a proper listing on a rental platform like Hozuko, so you have a stable, always-available listing to point people to.

6. Putting it all together – a simple channel strategy

If you are a landlord

1. Decide whether you want to engage an agent or rent direct.
2. If renting direct, make Hozuko your main “home base” listing, since it was built around rentals and is friendly for owner-listers.
3. Optionally mirror your listing on:
   • A room-focused site like rentinsingapore.com.sg.
   • Selected Facebook Groups where you feel comfortable managing enquiries.
4. Be careful about sharing personal details on open channels. Keep key conversations and agreements inside platforms that give you a clear message history.

If you are a property agent

1. Keep your core presence on PropertyGuru and 99.co if they are already part of your business.
2. Add Hozuko as an affordable rental-focused channel to:
   • Give your room listings extra visibility.
   • Reach renters who prefer a clean, rental-only browsing experience.
3. Use Facebook and Telegram more selectively:
   • Great for specific campaigns or urgent rooms.
   • Less ideal as your only long-term channel, because content disappears fast.

FAQ: where should I list my room for rent in Singapore?

If you want a quick answer:

• Landlords who prefer to rent direct can start with Hozuko as their main listing, then optionally add a room-focused site and a couple of Facebook Groups.
• Agents can keep listing on PropertyGuru and 99.co, but use Hozuko as a high-ROI way to push room rentals to a rental-first audience, without stretching marketing budgets.

Either way, having at least one clean, structured listing on a rental platform makes everything easier. From there, you can share that link across other channels instead of rebuilding your ad from scratch each time.
