Shared Housing for Muslims in the UK
Last updated 21 May 2026
Shared houses and HMOs are the cheapest way for a single Muslim adult to live in most UK cities. This page connects you with other UK Muslims looking to share a property — gender-matched, prayer-friendly, halal-kitchen.
WHO THIS PAGE IS FOR
- Single Muslim adults in any UK city
- Existing house shares filling a room
- Owners of HMOs preferring Muslim tenants
How shared housing works in the UK
Three to six adults share a house, each on their own AST or licence agreement. Bills usually included. Kitchen and bathrooms shared. The landlord must hold a HMO licence in most council areas for 5+ tenants.
What to look for in a share
Gender preferences (same-gender shares are the norm for unrelated single Muslims). Kitchen halal policy. Prayer-space availability. Notice period. Whether bills are truly all-inclusive or capped.
