DEFINITION

Noun , Adjective

A living arrangement in which a tenant lives with other tenants in the same dwelling unit 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有: 一、让租客有机会从集体生活中结交志同道合的朋友; 二、租约期限较短; 三、租金较为实惠。共享住宿因此受到留学生、出差人士及非本地居民的欢迎。
  • 市区重建局 (Urban Redevelopment Authority) 规定，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名租客。
  • 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，在冠病疫情的冲击下，本地也有不少人选择入住共享住宿。这其中不乏因家庭内部出现纷争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”.
  • The co-living residential model emerged in Singapore around 2010.
  • Co-living has been increasing in popularity for various reasons. It offers residents more opportunities to meet likeminded friends; it has a shorter lease period; and the rent is more affordable. Co-living is thus most popular among international students, business travellers, and other non-locals.
  • The Urban Redevelopment Authority stipulates that tenants who opt for a co-living arrangement must do so for at least three months, andthere must be no more than six tenants per unit.
  • Operators of co-living spaces in residential developments are notrequired to obtain business licences such as those for hotels or commercial real estate.
  • In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a rise in the number of locals turning to co-living, for example those who were experiencing family disputes and needed independent living spaces.
