Coming From Facebook? Wondering if RoomCity.ca is a Scam?

We get it, being cautious online is smart.

If someone referred you to RoomCity.ca from Facebook and you’re feeling unsure or skeptical, you’re not alone. But rest assured: RoomCity.ca is a trusted platform we use to safely and efficiently rent out our rooms.

Why We Use RoomCity.ca Instead of Just Facebook

Let’s face it: Facebook messages take forever.

1. We post a room.
2. You click “Is this available?”
3. We reply “Yes, are you interested?”
4. You say “Yes.”
5. You ask “Can I come see it?”
6. We say “Tell us about yourself.”
7. You ask “Like what?”
8. We say “Are you a student or working?”
9. You say “Working.”
10. We ask “What do you do for work?”

... and on and on. It’s slow, it’s frustrating, and it delays you from seeing or renting a great room!

What RoomCity.ca Does Better

• Book showings directly — no back-and-forth messages. Just pick a time and lock it in.
