00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:05,000
What is homeshare?

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:14,560
It’s a special form of house share for elderly people with spare rooms 

3
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,760
and young people looking for somewhere to live - in this case students,

4
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:23,560
for whom living space is scarce and expensive in Hanover.

5
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,960
Rent is free in exchange for support:

6
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:33,000
1 hour of work for each square meter of the room.

7
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,400
Ancillary costs are paid in monetary form.

8
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:41,040
Care work is explicitly excluded.

9
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:45,720
That leaves support in form of household chores, grocery shopping, 

10
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:50,480
taking walks together, walking the dog, small repairs around the house, 

11
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,400
as well as help with the computer or internet.

12
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,760
So you can see, homeshare is a do ut des,

13
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,000
“I give what I can, and you give what you can”.

14
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,240
Something that’'s beneficial to both sides.
