From my experience, many young un-married locals share flats or even rooms as they can't afford rent on their own. It's also quite popular among young expat professionals in case they don't have the joy of a company paying for housing.

I've learned that the best way to find a flat is to get some assistance from a local person you can trust to deal with agents. Some agents tend to increase the price if they see it's for a foreigner.

Also note that there are many, many, many fake ads on internet (most of them actuallly) which is another reason to get assistance from a local. Lastly, website Smartshanghai.com claims to have a built-in spam filter to filter out fake ads.

Thanks for your help Hans.

I rented a room via Internet several years ago.But I'm a local,so I can tell whether the ads is fake or not. You can find shared accommodation at
