Want your rent paid for a YEAR?

SpareRoom is offering to pay one lucky renter a cash prize equal to ONE YEAR’S rent. Keep reading to see how you could win!

We’ve been running a monthly sweepstake called ‘Live Rent Free’ since 2017, where entrants are given the chance to win their rent for a month. But once a year, we increase that prize money to a YEAR’s rent. And, lucky for you, it’s that time again.

You can enter our prize draw to be in with a chance of winning your rent for a YEAR anytime throughout September. The prize draw closes on October 30th 2025 at midday (ET).

Every entry makes a difference

Since 2017, we’ve matched every prize amount and donated the same amount to Breaking Ground. Breaking Ground is the largest provider of permanent supportive housing and outreach services for people experiencing homelessness on the streets of New York City.

In that time, we’ve given away an incredible amount of money to both renters in the US and Breaking Ground to support their mission to end homelessness. Want to see how much we’ve raised so far? Check out the latest total here.

Our donations support Breaking Ground's Transitional Housing programme. This provides short-term homes for New York's most vulnerable, along with intensive case management, clinical services, three nutritious meals a day, access to clean clothes and laundry services and a variety of onsite programming to help people rebuild their lives.

To find out more about Breaking Ground’s work to help combat homelessness and how you can get involved, head to their website. And of course, enter our sweepstake! By entering, you're already helping.
