19 year old female in wheelchair looking for apartment to rent!! Have items on credit report that equal to about 1500 due to charges from TMobile and Qwest. Mostly all of my items that are in collections are due to not getting social security check every month!! I am looking to get an apartment by september, but worried would get denied to collections. I do work full time now

Most landlords reject any applicant with collections – unpaid collections are even worse.

Pay off the collections and have a double deposit & co-signer on hand.

Just curious as I will be moving to Manhattan in 3 months
Hehehe nope, not crack houses….but look for yourselves at craigslist. Thought this was a weird thing but it is constant on the site and I wasn’t sure if this was the norm or a culture thingy. It being staged does make more sense.

Probably because they thought that in order to rent or sell the apartment they should "stage" it first, but they didn’t want to spend the money to put a whole bed in place, so they just put in a mattress on the floor to give the "effect" of a bedroom for the camera.

Either that or you’ve been looking at a lot of crack-house crash-pads!

I was just told the other day that we may be accepting a job a short distance from Tel Aviv. I started looking up apartments for rent but most of them seem to offer nightly or weekly prices much like a hotel. I would prefer to stay in a regular apartment or condo instead of a hotel or vacation flat as this would be a long stay (6 months or more). Furnished or unfurnished wouldn’t matter to me.

For the widest choice you’d be best to use the site the Israelis do – http://www.homeless.co.il – but only if your Hebrew is excellent or you have a Hebrew speaker to help you! But if (like me) you need a site in English, I’d recommend the http://www.taanglo.net board because it’s specific to Tel Aviv.

My boyfriend and I both work online, so we have a lot of flexibility as to where we can live. We are interested in finding a cheap apartment (we want to be able to travel easily and frequently) in Europe. We are both very open-minded, so where is less of an issue than how much. Any suggestions?

This isn’t quite so easy as just finding an apartment an moving. Assuming you’re not an EU citizen, you’ll need to get a visa that allows you to work and live here. In your case, you would be self-employed, but you still need the visa and are subject to being taxed in your host country. If you’re from the US, you may also have to file taxes there as well. That would certainly be the case if you moved here to Italy.

EU citizens have the right to live and work within the EU, but others need a visa to live and work here legally. You can’t just decide to relocate and go. The site for visas here in Italy, for example, is: http://www.esteri.it/visti/index_eng.asp . The site has links to the application, the additional information you need to supply in order to get the visa and where to apply.

The rules in much of the EU have been harmonized and will be similar. You can also check the website of the consulate of various countries that has jurisdiction over you for other information. For example, for England try the consulate that has jurisdiction over your area; there are links to the consulates in the US here: http://ukinusa.fco.gov.uk/en/our-offices… . You cannot apply for the visa from Italy; you need to do that before you arrive. When you get here, you will have to apply for a Permesso di Soggiorno (Permission to Stay) from the authorities. With the economy now, jobs are scarce – a lot of companies have a hiring freeze in place. The unemployment rate in Spain is around 20% for example and almost 50% in the 16 to 24 year old age group. One other thing will be language skills; you’ll need to be able to work in Italian here. However, in the larger cities, there is more English spoken than in the countryside and that would generally be true throughout Europe. You should still expect work to be done largely in the local languages though.

A work permit is separate – you cannot apply for that yourself. The company has to apply and they have to be able to demonstrate that there is not a viable EU candidate for the job. As a result, jobs for foreigners including Canadian or US citizens are pretty much restricted to people with special education, knowledge, or experience. The medical/healthcare field may have the most demand right now. You will need to know the language. When I applied for a visa several years ago, the process took about 8 months even though it was just of transfer of the job I was already doing from the US to Italy. Actually getting the visa after the paperwork was in place was pretty quick though (about a week). Since you wouldn’t be working as a dependent of a company, this may not be so difficult for you.

It’s useful to check the expat sites for information about living and working here or other places you might be interested in:

http://www.escapeartist.com/
http://www.expatica.com/
http://expatsinitaly.com/Old_Site/index.…

There are similar sites specific to just about any country you might be interested in that you can find by searching for "ex pat" or "expat" and the name of the country. Generally, these will have a lot of good information on daily life and negotiating the bureaucracy when you arrive and provide you with useful information you should know before you make the transition.

Generally, it’s more expensive to live here than in North America. My small one bedroom apartment in nothern Italy costs about as much to maintain as my 4 bedroom home in Colorado. However, there is no land or air-conditioning here and heating and electric costs are for a much smaller space. Fuel is more expensive here than there. Some specific items are cheaper here than there, but not enough to offset the bigger considerations. It is pretty easy to travel and explore from here though.

You might look at places like Croatia, Montenegro, Lithuania, … for lower prices.

We are moving and we are wondering if anyone knows the percentage you get off a rented apartment for preffered employees. Such as Military, DR, Teachers Etc…
Thanks

depends on what the apartment complex and the company offer.
One we were at was 10 % off for us with the cable company that supplied the cable to the whole complex and 5 % for others like the main phone service and so forth

If you know a good apartment rental resource, that would be helpful, too. We are a couple going at the end of September for two weeks.

If you can find one Guidecca is a great island with views to die for!

My son is moving into an apartment that costs $575 + $25 water and sewer per month. The rent will be paid out of an education trust fund that has approximately $19k in it that covers schooling and rent. What information will the apartment complex need and will this be possible considering he will have no income? Should I be a co-applicant on the application? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.

I would talk to the trust,at a guess you will need the apartments complex details to have the money transferd monthly.and speak to the complex and explain who will be paying.
I dont think there will be a problem out of a trust account,they dont care who pays as long as someone does.
But you may have to go guarantor

I’m looking for an answer from someone who knows the area. I’ll be bringing children down there so it needs to be a safe area. I’m not opposed to houses…I’m more looking for the lowest rent ranges while still paying enough to be staying above dangerous and run down apartments and areas. Any info/advice would be appreciated.

best thing would be to google it i haven’t been shopping for a house in a while.
