I'm confused as to what your needing help for....why don't you just rent for now? Plenty of cheap rentals around.

Cheap Thrills!

Can you look into renting together?

Why are you living separately? Surely as a married couple you could both live together until you find something - as in, you're accepted as a pair?

And yes - why can't you rent?

The new mrs D

thats the thing we can afford to rent either, i only work 5hrs a week, and my hisband has so many different outgoings its unreal, he also has a child to surport so thats expensive in its self, by the time he's finished paying things he's left with 100euro, so we cant afford rent out and food and bills out of that!

Then talk to someone at the social welfare office about your options. You may be entitled to rent allowance or council housing. If not you can see about sharing a house...not everyone wants to share with a couple and a newly married couple might not want to share with someone else but if you can't afford a place on your own your just going to have to make do.

Is there a reason why you can't both live with his man or your sister?

You are going to have to help yourselves. Get a job, get more hours, or whatever, but by doing nothing you will not get any help.

(By doing nothing you would not deserve help, TBH)

Frankly if your that short of cash your focus should not be on buying a house but on renting. Never heard the council refusing to put someone on the housing list cus they were too young and should buy.

What about rent allowance? If your wages are really so low you should qualify for it. Have you spoken to someone at the social welfare? Have you looked at renting just a room rather then a whole flat/house.

If you don't qualify for any sort of allowance you need to sit down and go through your incoming and outgoing money and make a budget and stick to it and try and save something towards rent....if you can't do that well sorry but your out of luck.

Are either of you currently paying rent or contributing towards bills where you live?

The new mrs D

well its tru council rang me today to say so, said were young enought to buy , and even if they did ever offer us ny thing it would be 1 bed rm but there only for over 55,

You still didn't say wither you'd spoken to anyone at social welfare with regards to rent allowance or any other support. Is your husbands child maintance means tested? If your only working 5 hours a week, are you getting any job seekers benifit or anything else?

Have you looked at just renting a room? your both stuck sharing now anyway so it shouldn't be that big a deal to rent a double room somewhere unless neither of you is paying rent or bills at your current addresses and still have no money, in which case your just going to have to put up with it until your in a better place money wise. If you are both paying rent and bills where you live it would be cheaper to move in together as you would then share those bills.
