DEFINITION

Noun

A living arrangement in which a tenant lives with other tenants in the same apartment during the rental period.

由来
  • 英语 “co-living” 的意译。
  • 共享住宿约于 2010 年间在本地兴起。
  • 共享住宿逐渐受到青睐的主要原因包括：其一，让租客有机会从集体生活中结交志同道合的朋友；其二，租约期限较短；其三，租金较为实惠。共享住宿因此受到留学生、出差人士以及非本地居民的欢迎。
  • 在市区重建局（Urban Redevelopment Authority）的规定下，选择共享住宿的租客需要住满至少三个月，而每个住宿单位不得超过六人。
  • 共享住宿业者也无需取得酒店或房地产等方面的营业执照。
  • 2020 年，在新型冠状病毒疫情的冲击下，本地也有不少人选择入住共享住宿。这其中不乏家庭内部出现纷争，因而需要独立空间的人士。
ETYMOLOGY
  • The Mandarin term “共享住宿” is a paraphrase of the English term “co-living”.
  • Co-living emerged in Singapore around 2010.
  • Co-living has been increasing in popularity mainly because of the following reasons: first, it provides tenants living communally with the opportunity to meet like-minded friends; second, it has a shorter lease period; third, the rent is more affordable. Thus, co-living is popular among international students, business travellers, and non-residents.
  • The Urban Redevelopment Authority stipulates that tenants who opt for co-living must do so for at least three months and that there must be no more than six tenants per unit.
  • Operators of co-living spaces are not required to obtain business licenses such as those for hotels or real estate.
  • In 2020, many locals chose co-living due to COVID-19. This included those who experienced family disputes and hence needed independent living spaces.
