Re: Housing

The housing situation is pretty bleak

 

Are you looking to rent? Or buy?

 

Rentals are slim on the ground, and expensive. There's lots of competition for every property. Apparently the most popular tenants are young tradies, since they'll fix minor issues themselves

 

If you mean the state housing commissions, waiting lists are huge. Even for a transfer from one ministry place to another is a wait of several years. What was formerly known as co-op housing is slightly better. I think the new term is Social Housing, but uncertain

Re: Housing

@DogMan79 @Nw rentals are expensive but theres always that issue, there are always going to be some availible though

re social housing i dont have much experience. I am also looking for a rental. It is competitive, but not impossible.
