So our scummy land lord wants to kick us out of our unit if we don't agree to his rent raise, bloody a**hole!! We're paying $350 a week and he wants $385 a week could it have come at a worse time!! I was depressed all day. Rent here is hard and ill never find a decent CLEAN 2 bedder for that price plus they'll never consider us for a rent application because I have a toddler
bad bad day for me.
$385 AUD? For a 2-bedroom? Yeesh! We paid about $700 for a one bedroom, and it was the cheapest we could get here!
Rent in America really is a "have some place to live OR have enough money to eat, but not both" situation. At least it is illegal to discriminate in housing against families with children here. I hope you get it worked out, but that rent seems sooo cheap to me in comparison to what it is here. I understand that everyone's circumstances are different, though!
With my income and hubs income we barely make it, here you fill an application and you have to include all family members and if its a new apartment and they see toddler it's an immediate no no!! My hub has asthma so we cant live in a carpeted unit has to be tiled or floor boards,We pay a 4 week bond too and that rarely gets paid back to us, there are some really expensive units here too, but our suburbs are really family oriented and cheaper than city areas, but the government will only pay us on what we need plus a couple of $ here and there, my baby items I either have to put on lay buys or get second hand, but I'm ok with that, it's just that the timing to move out is really inconvenient, and my parents house is a definite NO.
I hope he changes his mind otherwise I have no other way but to pay
