Renting
I earn approx �15000 before tax a year. I would like to rent a flat that is �350pcm. Would I be able to afford it? The heating is electric, no gas bills, I would not have a landline to pay for. What would my bills be apart from council tax, elec bill, rent?

My daughter (and 2 friends) didn't and really got taken by her landlord when she moved out. She eventually got �10.00 back from her deposit and he charged her �1.00 for the envelope and postage for sending her that!!!
I'm on �14K a year, and I'm renting a flat for �300pcm. We don't have council tax here though (NI). I don't have a gas bill either, all electric, and my last bill for a quarter was �130 (the economy 7 radiators are rubbish and I have to have a separate electric heater. I have a washing machine, but no dishwasher or tumble dryer. I manage with this, although I don't have much spare cash....Never go on holidays, I prefer having cash to go out at week ends.
