Terms of Service
Last updated: July 5, 2026
Welcome to DeshMate. By using this website you agree to these terms. They are written in plain language on purpose - please read them.
What DeshMate is
DeshMate is a free notice board that connects people who have a room to share with people looking for one. We are not a landlord, broker, property manager or rental agency. We are not part of any agreement you make with a roommate, and we do not collect rent, deposits or fees.
What DeshMate is not
- We do not verify listings, identities, photos or prices. Anyone can post, so always verify a room and the person yourself before sending money.
- Never pay a deposit or rent before you have seen the room (in person or on a live video call) and are confident the person is genuine.
- If a listing looks like a scam, please report it to us through the contact form so we can remove it.
Your account
- You must be at least 18 years old to use DeshMate.
- Keep your login details private. You are responsible for what happens under your account.
- Post only rooms in homes you currently live in or manage, and keep your listing details truthful and up to date.
Rules for posting and messaging
- No scams, fake listings, spam or advertising unrelated to finding roommates.
- No harassment, hate or abusive behavior toward other users.
- No illegal content or activity of any kind.
- DeshMate is a roommate-matching community. Listings describe the current household so seekers can find a culturally comfortable home. They are not offers by landlords to rent entire dwellings, and all users must follow applicable fair housing laws.
Our rights
We may edit, remove or refuse any listing, and suspend or delete any account, at any time if we believe these terms have been broken or the safety of our users is at risk.
No warranties
DeshMate is provided "as is", free of charge, without warranties of any kind. We do our best to keep the site running and accurate, but we cannot promise it will always be available or error-free.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, DeshMate and its creators are not liable for any loss or damage that results from using the site, including disputes between roommates, inaccurate listings or losses from scams. Your dealings with other users are solely between you and them.
Changes to these terms
If we make meaningful changes to these terms, we will update this page and change the date at the top. Continuing to use DeshMate after a change means you accept the updated terms.
