Is my deposit protected on room.bd?

Yes — deposits are held in 1pay.bd escrow (licensed under the Bangladesh Bank PSP framework), released against the tenancy contract.

Do you list women-only rooms?

Yes — women-only, bachelor, family and mess formats are explicit filters.

Can I introduce myself before paying a deposit?

Yes — for shared units, msg.bd carries the in-thread introduction with the current tenants and landlord.

What law governs the tenancy?

The Premises Rent Control Act, 1991 — for deposit, notice and eviction terms.

How is a landlord verified?

Individuals via kyc.bd (NID + TIN); corporate landlords via rjsc.bd (entity lookup).

Do I get a written tenancy for a single room?

Yes. Every room booking creates a tenancy record with terms, notice period and payment history attached.

Can the landlord change house rules after I move in?

Not unilaterally. Co-tenancy terms are fixed at booking; a change requires agreement, and a breach carries a defined remedy.

Is my advance refundable?

The deposit is held off-landlord and releases on correct notice unless documented damage is filed within the evidence window.

Verified room and shared-rental marketplace.

room.bd — verified room and shared-rental marketplace in Bangladesh

room.bd is the verified room and shared-rental brand inside the nationwide group — the informal rental market brought into a regulated, escrow-backed rail.

Governed by law, priced by market

Every tenancy on room.bd is written against the Premises Rent Control Act, 1991. Deposits sit in 1pay.bd escrow; landlord entities and tenants are both KYC-verified through kyc.bd. Rent is set by market demand, but the framing around it is not.

One network, many formats

Short stays flow into 2let.bd, student demand into hostel.bd, and long-let and ownership into houses.bd — all under one identity and one payment method.

Bachelor, family and mess formats

room.bd surfaces bachelor, family, women-only and mess-style shared units explicitly. Landlord policies are stated up front — no post-visit surprises.

Utilities and service charges

Every listing declares base rent, service charge, utility policy and gas/water arrangement. Whatever is not in the ad does not get billed later.

Roommate matching

For shared and mess formats, tenants can filter by cohort (profession, gender, semester) with an in-thread introduction on msg.bd before committing to a deposit.

Eviction and notice

Notice periods and eviction grounds follow the Premises Rent Control Act, 1991 — landlords cannot short-circuit the framework, and disputes land on msg.bd's audit trail.

In detail

How room.bd works in practice

Room-level supply is a different market from flat-level supply

A single room in a shared flat is the most transacted and least documented housing unit in urban Bangladesh. It is also where the worst asymmetries sit: no written agreement, cash advance, no receipt, eviction by notice on the door. room.bd treats the room as a first-class listing object with its own tenancy record, rather than a footnote on a flat listing.

Co-tenancy rules that prevent the common failures

Shared living fails on undeclared house rules. Listings carry structured co-tenancy terms — guest policy, gender composition, cooking arrangements, utility split method and notice period — agreed at the point of booking. A later unilateral change by the landlord is a policy breach with a defined remedy, not a negotiation the tenant loses.

Receipts, advance and the Rent Control Act

Every payment generates a receipt on the tenancy record. That single artefact converts an informal arrangement into something a tenant can rely on under the Premises Rent Control Act, 1991, which requires receipts and caps advance rent. Deposits sit on the group payment rail and release on correct notice.

Who this is for

Early-career professionals in Dhaka, Chattogram and Sylhet, students who have outgrown hostel dorms, and landlords sub-dividing flats who want predictable collection instead of monthly cash chasing.
