Smart Roommate & PG Finder," a web-based application that simplifies the process of finding
accommodations and compatible roommates.

RoomEase is designed to provide a user-friendly and efficient digital platform where property
owners can list available rooms, and tenants can search for accommodations based on their
preferences. It also enables users to connect with potential roommates by considering factors
such as lifestyle, habits, and budget, thereby ensuring a comfortable and convenient living
experience.

1.2 Need for the Project

The increasing migration of students and working professionals to different cities for education
and employment has created a growing demand for reliable and affordable housing options.
However, the existing accommodation search process has several limitations:

 Lack of a centralized platform for finding verified PGs or roommates.

 Unverified listings leading to fraudulent or misleading property information.
 No efficient roommate-matching system to ensure compatibility.
 Dependency on brokers, leading to additional costs.
 Limited communication options between property owners and tenants.

To overcome these issues, RoomEase offers a secure, transparent, and efficient solution where
users can search for accommodations, connect with property owners, and find compatible
roommates, all within a single platform.

1.3 Overview of the Proposed System

The RoomEase application provides a seamless experience for both tenants and property owners.
The key functionalities include:

 Room & PG Listings: Property owners can list available rooms with detailed
descriptions, images, and pricing.

FUNDAMENTALS AND LITERATURE SURVEY

2.1 Introduction

Finding PG accommodations and roommates is a critical need for students and working
professionals in new cities. Traditional methods involve word-of-mouth referrals, broker-based
searches, or classified advertisements, all of which are time-consuming, unreliable, and lack
transparency.

To address these issues, various digital platforms and mobile applications have been introduced,
aiming to simplify the accommodation search process. However, many of these solutions have
drawbacks, such as unverified listings, limited roommate-matching options, lack of
communication features, and high brokerage fees. In this chapter, we analyze the existing
solutions, their limitations, and the advancements in technology that can be leveraged to create
an improved and efficient system like RoomEase.

2.2 Problems Arising in Accommodation Search

The major challenges faced by individuals looking for PG accommodations or roommates are:

1. Lack of Verified Listings – Many existing platforms allow users to post rental listings
without proper verification, leading to fraud and misleading information.
2. No Roommate Compatibility Matching – Most rental platforms only list properties
without providing an intelligent system for finding compatible roommates.
3. Dependency on Brokers – Many users have to rely on brokers, leading to additional
costs and possible exploitation.
4. Inefficient Communication – Tenants and property owners often struggle to connect
due to the absence of a direct messaging system.
5. Limited Filter Options – Many applications do not provide proper filters for amenities,
rent preferences, location proximity, and other essential factors.
6. Lack of User Reviews & Ratings – New tenants have no way to determine the
credibility of property owners or roommates before making a decision.

To solve these challenges, modern technologies such as AI-based roommate matching, real-time
chat systems, map integration, and a verified listing process can be incorporated into our project
RoomEase to create a more secure, efficient, and transparent accommodation-finding system.
2.3 Existing Techniques and Their Limitations

Several online platforms and techniques have been developed to help users find
accommodations. Below is a summary of some existing solutions and their advantages and
disadvantages:
