Our spokespeople

SpareRoom founder Rupert Hunt

Rupert HuntFounder & CEO

Rupert founded SpareRoom in 2004. He's a passionate advocate of living with roommates and believes living with the right people beats living on your own any day. In 2016, he used SpareRoom to find two roommates to share his 300 year old London townhouse with a 'pay what you can afford' rent, and filmed the results for a YouTube series. Later, Rupert moved to New York and used SpareRoom again to find roommates, this time to share his Manhattan loft for just $1 a month in rent. You can check out Rupert’s video ad here.
