Playghirl Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 WE have been renting in Leichhardt, which as been going pretty well, until now. Owner is ending the lease as they want to renovate. Was 10 months on the waiting list for nursery- have to pay deposit this week. Ow have 2 months to find alternative arrangements. I am a teacher and am on 89 k per year, hubby who has only been permant resident since End of July is self employed on about 75k. MY work is on the north shore and I don't drive so I couldn't live out west- and to be honest I don't want to. We just can't afford to buy in SYdney.h Ubby won't be able to until he has worked for a year in any case. We have two children so a unit wouldn't really fit , we have loads of furniture....just ranting .....sorry!!, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calNgary Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Is the date on your lease up and its just not being renewed? or is the owner terminating your contract early? If the owner is ending the contract,just check what they are liable for as in QLD they have to pay your removal costs which may help you financially. Have you spoke with the current agents to see if they have another property that may be suitable for you? Good Luck and i hope you find something soon.

Playghirl Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 Ah no they are doing it legit! it just means all the stress of moving, reconsidering areas and also the bloody cost, another bank loan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJFleming Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 What sort of areas are you thinking about moving to Playghirl? I know a few people who have recently moved into haberfield (albeit from Drummoyne) and they found the pricing to be comparable... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJFleming Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Fair enough, both Haberfield and Lilyfield are one suburb over and thought that it could be a good short term solution...further afield you would have stanmore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playghirl Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Rj I went for a walk down to Haberfield yesterday, you do get more for the money, and if I drove would be doable. thanks tho.:biggrin: spent yesterday in the Peshing rain looking at the hundreds of other people looking at rentals. Not a fun way to spend the day!, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
