    I am 21 and living at home hoping to move out. I am only getting 100 Euro per week on Jobseekers. If i was to get long term accommodation and the monthly rent was around 300-400 Euro what is the best i could hope to get in rent allowance while on jobseekers?

    I have being unemployed for the last year.

    I'll be 22 very soon if that makes any difference.

    Thanks for any replies.

    You need to be renting the same place for the last 6 months or be on the social housing list. If neither apply to you then you won't get rent allowance.

    Mate if I were you and if you can swing finances I'd be off to Australia.
