    hi
    i am currently seeking advice on how to move into a new house / apartment, i have been looking for quite some time now and i have applied for the social welfare 4 weeks ago
    I go to my local clinic and i am recieving a sum of €150 per week, i am currently living with my friend for a short term as i have a family problem and cant stay for to long, the thing is i claimed when i was living in my old address and i was givin a two day notice to go, i havent got enough money for a new place so i am saving what i have got but i havent got long until my friend wants me to move on, he to is on a social benefit which will conflict with his if i change address and that he dosent want
    My question is can i get a deposit for a place even if i proof of a lease for 12 months as it was up on the 11th of feb, i am afraid of screwing this up and cant find a place acceptable for rent allowance in my area unless i move in with a friend or somebody, i am trying to get back up on my feet after losing my job & i dont want to be homeless

    can anyone help me with this sticky situation
