OC Members

How OC membership works.

Apply once, get approved, and pick any open room in the OC network. One payment covers your room, furniture, utilities and Wi-Fi.

01

Apply

About five minutes online. A one-time application fee, refunded if you aren't approved.

02

Get approved

We verify your identity and income and screen every applicant the same way. Approval usually comes fast.

03

Book a room

Choose any open room. Tour in person or by video first if you like.

04

Move in

Pay the move-in fee and your first payment, get your door code, and move in.

What it costs

One payment. No surprises.

Rooms are priced by the week. Pay weekly, or switch to one monthly payment. Your room page shows the exact price before you book.

Approval criteria

Fair, written and the same for everyone.

We want kind, responsible housemates. We publish the criteria before applications open, and we apply them to every applicant the same way.

  • 18 or older, with a valid government ID
  • Verified income of about times the room price, from any lawful source
  • Identity and background screening through a licensed screening company
  • No minimum credit score
  • History is reviewed individually, never as an automatic no
  • Agree to the member guidelines

Built for real life

Flexible when life changes.

Transfers

Need a different neighborhood or a new city? Move to another OC home. Your first transfer is free.

Stay as long as you like

After the shortest stay of weeks, there's no end date. Give notice when you're ready to move on.

Everything on your phone

Pay rent, send a maintenance request and message support from your phone.
