Simulators
Two tools to help you get to grips
with it in five minutes
Luxembourg has a housing shortage, yet thousands of rooms lie unused in homes that have become too big. Whether you live in your own home and wish to share part of it, or you have an unoccupied property, these two calculators give you an initial idea of its potential as shared accommodation: current market rents, and whether the property complies with the regulations.
Market Rent Calculator
How much does a furnished room cost to rent in your area?
Find out the current market rates for furnished rooms, based on your local area and the features of your property.
How it works
You describe your property in 7 questions. You’ll instantly receive the market rent range, by bedroom, based on observed prices. The figure is weighted according to:
- the local authority,
- whether or not there is a private bathroom,
- a garden,
- the standard of the property,
- the number of people living in the house.
What data
A cross-analysis of over 150 manually verified listings from a wide range of sources: property listing platforms, estate agents and co-living operators. 22 areas covered: 9 neighbourhoods in Luxembourg City and 13 municipalities. Further areas will be added as the market develops.
This simulator provides information on market rents as at September 2026 (updated quarterly); it is not a substitute for checking that your property complies with the regulations, ensuring that the legal rent cap is observed, or carrying out an on-site inspection.

Compliance simulator
Could your property be turned into a shared home?
Local planning permission, land-use regulations, safety: an initial assessment of compliance with national regulations and those of your local authority.
How it works
You choose your local authority area and the type of accommodation you are considering: a shared flat with a single tenancy agreement, furnished rooms with individual tenancy agreements, or sharing the property where you live. You then describe the property: rooms, occupants, floor areas, ceiling heights, windows and facilities.
You receive an immediate result, followed by an email setting out the details of the points assessed: what is compliant, the conditions that need to be met, and any potential issues.
