Relic Roommates

Chicago · Powered by Relic Realty

Find your roommate and your first apartment — without the group-chat chaos.

New to the city or just done with Facebook groups? We match you with a compatible roommate, then a licensed Relic Realty agent finds you both a place and handles the lease. Free to you — the building pays us.

How it works ↓

Four steps. One move-in.

01

Tell us about you

Your budget, neighborhoods, move-in date, and what you're like to live with. Three minutes, no account needed.

02

Meet your roommate

We introduce you to compatible, vetted roommates. You decide who you actually click with.

03

We find the apartment

A licensed Relic Realty agent lines up tours and handles the lease, start to finish.

04

Move in together

Sign and get your keys. The service is free to you — the building pays our commission.

Actually free

Unlike New York or Boston, Chicago landlords pay the leasing commission. You pay nothing for the apartment search.

Real agents, not a feed

A licensed Relic Realty agent tours with you and manages the paperwork. The match is the start — not the whole job.

Matched on what matters

Budget, neighborhood, schedule, and lifestyle — you set your own preferences and choose who you live with.
