A new mobile application aimed at transforming the shared accommodation landscape in Dubai has officially launched. Roomy Finder, developed by UAE-based entrepreneur Ahad Al Salman, is now live on the App Store and Google Play, offering tenants and landlords a secure and simplified solution for co-living arrangements.
The app is designed to address key challenges in the city’s dynamic rental market, including mismatched roommates, unverified listings, and unreliable payments. Through a combination of advanced filtering, secure transactions, and 100% verified listings, Roomy Finder promises to streamline the entire shared housing experience.
“Our mission is to simplify shared living in Dubai by fostering trust and convenience,” said Ahad Al Salman, Founder and CEO of Roomy Finder.
“With verified listings, secure payments, and smart filters, we’re setting a new standard for rental solutions.”
Key Features of Roomy Finder
Roomy Finder allows users to browse listings, match with compatible housemates, and complete the entire rental process within the app. Its key features include:
- Advanced Matching Filters: Users can filter listings by location, budget, lifestyle preferences, and nationality.
- Secure In-App Payments: All transactions are conducted within the platform, reducing reliance on cash and ensuring transparency.
- Verified Listings and Tenants: Both landlords and tenants undergo verification checks to improve reliability and safety.
- Real-Time Chat and Alerts: Facilitates direct communication between users and instant updates on new listings.
Market Opportunity
With Dubai’s population growth and rising demand for affordable housing solutions, especially among working professionals and students, the co-living market is gaining traction. Roomy Finder’s launch coincides with increased rental activity in shared spaces, where demand for tech-enabled platforms is on the rise.
“Dubai’s rental ecosystem demands both flexibility and security,” said Al Salman. “Roomy Finder delivers that by giving both landlords and tenants a trusted, efficient tool that reduces friction and uncertainty.”
Supporting Digital Growth in the UAE
The launch also aligns with the UAE’s broader push for smart city innovation and digital-first services under its Vision 2030 agenda. By offering a transparent, user-friendly platform, Roomy Finder is tapping into a market segment underserved by traditional property portals.
The app is free to download, and early adoption campaigns are underway across major residential clusters in Dubai, including Al Barsha, JLT, and Business Bay.
