Interesting. It looks like they are not subletting/subleasing, but working with property management companies to sign up tenants. They are basically offering a service to match tenants and collect payment without any risk of dealing with roomate issues. The tenants sign a lease directly with the property management company.

The are probably "quiet" about it because they don't want property managers to do it themselves.

I looked at one apartment complext LSeven. The floorplan 2bd/2ba goes for $4,683, but HomeShare is probably collecting $6,300 per month on that unit.

I had roomates in college. I would never, ever do that ever again.

I had one roomate who would masterbate at night on the couch in the living room, and seemed to think it was acceptable behavior. Had another one who would come in after 2 am strip down and fall asleep on the couch in his whitey-tighty underwear while watching ESPN. I've had to kick out roomates that stopped paying rent. I had a roomate break our lease so he could move in with his ex-girlfriend so he could try to save their relationship -- and that didn't work out so well for him.

Seems to me like you didn't vet your roommates carefully. I have had one roommate in my whole life (maybe lived together for 6 months). I was a bit of a pain in his ass as I was obsessing a lot over cleanliness of the place but we managed quite well. We had guests come over, parties, bring GF/Date and allocate time for the other guy to have sex (it was a studio). So I think it can be managed, you just need to vet carefully and be strict.
