Your current housing

Hi everyone, what is your current housing situation? I have a 2-bedroom apartment and have a roommate, it is a little small but we still live comfortably. I am planning on moving out soon, I want to get a room in someone’s house, this will be cheap and save me alot of money, I won’t mind it being small. I hate my current apartment complex, there is a huge drug problem here and it is a den of iniquity, it is so evil you can feel it. I go out for a walk late at night sometimes and I can smell pot smoke coming out of people’s windows. I am on the waiting list at at least 20 different local apartment complexes but the hosing market around here is terrible, it may be awhile until something comes up. I have found 4 complexes up north of here in a little town called Halifax, it is my dream to move in there, it is back in the woods and nice and peaceful, lots of nice people up there too, good-hearted people.

I live in a one bedroom apartment with my dog. It’s small but it’s nice, mostly decent enough folks altho sometimes you can smell marijuana smoke. Pretty much everyone keeps to themselves. I get a housing voucher that helps cover the rent.

I live with my dad. He owns the house outright and I basically give half my money to him for bills. I’ll be in trouble when he goes but may be eligible for emergency housing somewhere. My doctor will go into bat for me and I kinda know some people in the housing department. It’s not what you know…it’s who you know kinda thing…

I have been living in a very nice apartment complex in a good neighborhood for very little money. And I have been living alone for fifteen years. It has been extremely hard living alone and I have very slowly adapted to it. Humans are very social but we are very adaptable too. I wish you luck.

I had a roommate using hard drugs in his bedroom with a bad crowd. I saw him the other day and he’s still using and is over sixty years old. I could never do that. He might not be mentally ill and just takes medicine because he thinks he needs it.

I have an apartment in a house which is next to a major highway. It’s quite noisy but I’m partially deaf so I don’t hear the noise much. My sister is paying the rent. I am grateful for that.

Bought my 1 Bed council flat less than a year ago. It was a secure tenancy, and my sister bought it for me out of the inheritance from my late mother - so got it under the Right To Buy Scheme.

Walls are thin, but you get used to the noise. Been here 9 years.

Cost about 98k in the end with the solicitors fees. This place will do me till i snuff it.

My current flat, a 1 bedroom kitchen-diner-lounge ,which is in a block of flats for those 55 or over, is smaller (Internal floor space = 42m2, ) and in a less scenic part of town than my previous flat(51m2) I. After my falls it wasn’t sensible to stay at my previous place. The housing association stipulated that I could only transfer to a ground floor flat irrespective of whether there were lifts to a 1st floor flat.

Though it’s smaller it’s a perfectly adequate size for me. I now have a large, wooden, chair I can sit on outside when the weather gets warm enough.

I am not a property owner, but I have a roof above my head. I am not in a hurry to inherit, I want my parents to keep living for as long as the Man above allows it, and then some.

My husband and i rent a house. Its not huge but its perfect for my family. I dont know what id do if anything happened to him tho. He pays the rent and most of the bills, my SSDI wouldn’t even cover rent let alone everything else. It makes me paranoid worrying about it, not only would i miss him with all my being, but I’d likely lose custody of my kids. I lost custody of my older two kids because of my divorce. So its happened to me before. Its a terrible feeling to deal with.

Id love to own ours. It would be fantastic especially if the lady above us sold hers cos we could buy that too. They go for about £140k on this avenue and thafs if they are falling apart.
