Living in Almaty is expensive. Especially for students, young professionals and families starting an independent life. Rental housing prices are rising faster than salaries, and finding a reliable and adequate option is a whole quest.

One of the real ways out is coliving. A modern format of cohabitation with separate rooms, common areas, fixed fees and transparent conditions. It's cheaper than renting an apartment alone, and it's much safer than looking for housing through ads.

The problem is that there is no single service on the market that would:

• centrally solved the issue of affordable rent,
• I checked the housing and tenants,
• simplified check-in and check-out,
• he created trust between people.

Coliving may become the new norm for megacities like Almaty. It remains to build a stable digital infrastructure for this.
