Easy Room Mate

Meredith asked:


Hello, I’m about to rent a room from this lovely woman in London. Do you have any tips on how to make this safe and legal? Is there any documentation I should ask from her? We’re doing this via internet, so I’m a bit worried. Thank you!
She seems lovely. And the reason that she might ” stick it to me” or whatever is why i’m asking the question.

I was planning on buying a phone card and making calls to home/work in the US from the room or any phone. However, when I want to call or text my business colleagues I was thinking I could rent a cell phone. How and where do you do this? Does it makes sense for a short trip? How much does it cost?

Pol asked:


hi there,

I’m leaving for a month and want to rent my room for that time so i’ve been posting ads on gumtree but it doesn’t quite work and my room is fairly nice so i was wondering if there’s any other sites where i can post my ads, oh yes i live in london so i suppose i’ll be better off with english websites.

Thanks!

Valerie asked:


I’m Bulgarian, 22 years old and I’ve been studying in Germany for the last few years. I’m graduating from university and I’m interested in working in England for a year or two. Even though I could continue studying for a Master’s, I’d prefer to take a break, see how the real life works and figure out what I really want to do with my life. Otherwise I think a Master’s would be a waste of money and time.
First, I want to know about the living costs in London. I know it’s one of the most expensive capitals so I’d like to know how much approx. it’d cost to rent a room (of course cheapest possible but still decent). Would you maybe recommend living outside London and traveling to the city? Where? What would the other min monthly costs be – food, transport, etc.?
And do you think it’s feasible for a foreigner like me to find a job within a month? Of course, I’d like to work something related to my studies (social sciences) but for a start I’d not mind having a job to pay the rent.

Thanks!

TNT – Cheap Rent – Trump Tower – NYC – Craig List – Raffaella Addams – London – Keys

I was looking for an apt to rent, when I found this amazin TRUMP TOWER with 2 bedroom, 2 bath, living room, parking for $1200. with furniture.

Specially in NYC that people pay 3k for 1 bed apartment. I was thinking how RIDICULOS THAT PRICE was.

I was thinking to go to the building and ask for the door man if (Raffaela Addams)really owns this apt in the tower.

I was exchanging e-mails until she ask me to exchange KEYS + MONEY using this TNS company.

Hugo asked:


Hi all,

Next year I’m going to move to London (April) to study English for six months. I’m worried about the prices for room there, so I’m trying to find out about what alternatives I have. Is it possible to get a dorm in a College even if I’m not studying there? because people have told me is cheaper. I’m going to study at The English Studio.

Any suggestion of a dorm in college? neighborhood? others?

Thanks!
