Cheap rent in victoria australia?

Question

ok so im 16 and want to move out of home as i dont get along with my family and they keep telling me i have to move out as im older enough to look after myself now i need to know cheap places to rent like i dont want a share accomodation please any suggestions would be good thanks

Answer 1

If you don't like shared accommodation then you will have to get a betsit or one bedroom flat.  Remember you have to pay for everything on your own and while I am not sure you are still at school you can get youth allowance at 16 1/2 yrs old but won't cover everything.

Think rent, power, phone (or mobile) food, medical, transport, entertainment costs etc....

I moved out at your age and yes, it's not easy but understand if you don't get on with your family.

See if a close girlfriend can share with you, to half costs on everything.

Look at noticeboards at the malls for 'to rents', real estate, uni notice boards etc.

See http://melbourne.gumtree.com.au  http://flatmatefinder.com.au http://www.realestate.com.au (click on rent or share tab and search)

Good Luck.

Answer 2

first thing is your 16 i highly dought you will get a place under your name even with a friend best option is to live with some1 you can realy trust that is old enough and wise enough.

second there are reasons why places might be cheaper than others it might be a good ocean view or a brick wall but allways think of the crime ratings you want to be in a safe enviroment were not only your stuff is safe but u are.

third if you dont want to listen and you want to try any way here are some cheap and safe places 2 look and some high criminal places 2 live:

CITY North-fitzroy, ritchmond, st.albans, campberwell nothing inner city or around is really cheap any more not very safe the closer to the city as well.

East sub-  ringwood, bayswater, ferntree gully, scoresby wantirna , boronia stay away from ringwood

south/sth east subs- hampton park, narre warren, berwick, dandenong, hallam, doveton, pakenham, rowvill, keysborough, endevour hills, cranbourne stay away from cranbourne and dandenond areas!!

WEST subs- All cheap but dangerous area with multi cultural genders wouldnt bother.

hope it helped good luck!
