To cut a long story short, I need to temporarily move to a small town to get a few things done before getting a job in the city. Could be anywhere from 3-9 months in the town.
I need to find a female flatmate or two in this town. Most of the flats I am seeing have 12 month fixed terms. I am a bit worried about being unable to leave when I need to, or leaving my flatmate in the lurch. Even if I find a six month fixed term, I wouldn't want to terminate and leave someone in an awkward situation. If I find someone else who doesn't want to stick around, what if they terminate before I'm able to?
However, I don't want to rent a room (bad experience) or be a lodger.
Does anyone have any suggestions for how I can rent without sticking for the long-term? I have abusive family and so I really don't want to have to fall back on them, which is why I'm putting so much thought into this.
I had friend who stayed for three months in another state for his internship. Um… is it possible to work out an arrangement with an Airbnb host to let you stay for a certain period of time?
You could also find an all women hostel and work out and arrangement with them? 🤷🏻♀️ They’re quite cheap, and you could leave pretty much on the fly. The only catch is that you’d have to take your stuff with you when you’re at work.
I knew a couple that did the RV camper/ trailer park lifestyle for a few months. They would shower with a gym membership, but I would not recommend this for a single women.
