You know, one weird cultural difference between Australia and the US that I noticed is the prevalence of heating/cooling in houses. A lot of houses in Australia do not have any kind of built in air conditioning or heating (apart from ceiling fans, sometimes) particularly if they aren't new build. Even then, it usually means a unit in one room not a ducted system. And I'm talking parts of the country that are basically overlapping with parts of the US where everyone has central AC and has it on all year. I was used to the inside of my house being more or less the same temperature as the outside. Or any temperature differential being maintained through obsessive opening and closing of windows/blinds, and use of either pedestal fans or space heaters.
I do currently live in a new reno, so I have a small built in aircon unit in my living room. But, it's an older building so, while the double brick construction is theoretically insulating, the bloody windows don't seal. They are just sitting there with huge gaps! So even though Sydney is objectively not that cold, I spend good portions of the season with blue fingernails and numb toes!!!

Benefits of being a solo renter
Renting alone or with a roommate is a personal choice of the renter. While many people prefer sharing the rental space with other roommates; there are a few individuals that prefer renting alone. And this is not just because of the introvert nature of the person but also because of the unique benefits that follow. Colive reviews the top benefits of being a solo renter.
Top 5 benefits of renting alone:
·         Freedom: One of the major benefits of renting alone is the freedom to use the space as per your choice without any interference. You can use as much space to place your belongings, the bed is all yours, and you can stay up late to watch movies and what not. Basically, you can set your own rules as there is no one to obstruct your way of living.
·         Peace:You solely own the space and it’s up to you to make or break the silence. You can simply enjoy the peace or listen to your favourite music at your preferred volume. You can also make use of this calm environment to accomplish some task, read a book or meditate. So, relax and unwind your way without any distraction!
·         Me-time:Renting alone gives you plenty of me-time to work on yourself. This could be working on your fitness, taking up a hobby, binge watching Netflix and much more. Sometimes, you can also call up your friends to spend some quality time. Giving first preference to your needs would always keep you in good mood.
·         Work Mode: While renting alone lets you enjoy your peace; it also saves you from possible distractions. Hence, on days that you wish to work from home; you can simply do so without any disturbance from fellow roommates.
·         Self-care: Living by yourself teaches you essential self-care skills. Right from managing your monthly budget to taking care of routine tasks like laundry, cooking etc. instils a sense of responsibility in you which is one big step towards personal growth.  This inturn boosts your self-confidence as well.
So, if these benefits inspire you for solo renting then do give it a try with Colive’s stylish studio apartments in Bangalore. But do remember that solo renting does not mean restricting yourself from socialising. Embrace solo renting but at the same time indulge in community events and parties to strike a fine balance between solitude and social interaction.

Mortgage? No, Thanks. No Interest for Life
The mortgage precipice. Everyone seems to be on it and, bizarrely, wants to be on it, despite the threat of the Bank of England making another ‘announcement.’ But here’s the reality: having a mortgage does not make you a home ‘owner’; you are, essentially, renting from the bank or building society with whom you have taken it out, and they, just like any landlord, if you fail to make those monthly…

Moving is a lot. It's a lot of change and I'm excited to be settled (I also enjoy the organizing and decorating), but I'm ready to be settled. I'm tired and mini meltdowns are tiring.

Two Ontario residents have created a website that allows tenants to anonymously rate their landlords.
The Rate The Landlord website has grown in popularity since its launch three weeks ago, and now has more than 1,500 reviews from tenants..
The two co-founders — who CBC News agreed not to name over concerns for their safety — said they decided to build the platform because while tenants have to provide a lot of personal information when leasing a property, there is a lack of transparency when it comes to landlords.

There are tons of issues in have with my apartment but one positive thing is that maintenance won't snitch. I have candles bother for religion and leasure, only half of my pets are registered on the lease, I have friends stay over more than 3 days at a time and more than 2 weeks total in a year, I have curtains and flags hanging up (not attached to or damaging the walls), and I have a hidden bird feeder. One of them even felt comfortable to share that they think the new land lord is a little too strict, too.

Well Fuck.
My mom lost her job because the ladies she was working with lied about something happening that didn't happen. She got sent home with pay while they investigated. Her union went to bat for her but the investigator who decides if she was wrongfully dismissed or not sided with her work place. So now she gets no EI.  (fuck)
And to cap it all off our renter who signed a one year lease in February moved out for march... Because her family now has room for her.
I’ve been doing a lot of overtime trying to make more money at my job.  
But we are out 500/ month with the renter gone and 2000-3000 $ per month due to my moms job loss.  
We can and will get another renter. My mom is applying to jobs and hopefully one of them say yes. But im seriously thinking about finding a job to work weekends to help make up the difference. Its about to be rough for a while.
