I pay $859 now for a 1 bedroom inclusive of heat, hydro and central air and unlimited use of the rec facilities (indoor pool, billiards room, Sauna, squash court, basketball court, exercise room and an outdoor tennis court).  Also in the summer I get unlimited use of the barbecues on the deck.

EDIT:  Canadian money, downtown Hamilton area.

Well, our house is about $1560 a month, my brother and i pay $100 a fortnight, pretty sweet deal I guess 8)

I signed one with my cousin but if he fucks me over on it I'll just kick his ass out and pay for it myself because the lease itself is under my name and he's just an additional tenant.

425 euros (increased by 10 euros this year) plus 12 for sauna every Friday and another 5 euros for a parking space (without electricity). This is for a single flat at the outskirts of the city (about four kilometers off the downtown). Also due to it's close proximity to the capital (Helsinki, about 25 kilometers away) the rent is still high even for an outskirts flat.

I'm paying $715 AUS ($655 US) a month for a large room in a college-esque student dorm. I really like the room; has a skylight, freedom of use of facilities (commercial kitchen/cool room, heaps of fridges, washing machines/dryers) and the dudes here rock. I'll often get a knock on the door from dudes who barely speak English getting me to come and drink Scotch with them and play cricket or watch AFL and explain it to them.

All utilities are included apart from internet (which you pay for by how much data you use, for example you pay $50 AUS for 10 gigs and use that etc). I have an air conditioner/heater, lamp (SHIIIT), TV and a nice bed which came with it. I've spiced it up a bit with some hip hop/'cool' movie (Taxi Driver, Pulp Fiction) posters so y'all can suck on that, I'm THAT cool. Yeah, heh.

It's not exactly cheap, but it's a good deal for what I'm getting and the dorm environment is awesome. Next year me and my mates are hoping to move to a nearby suburb and that'll be about $1400 a month split between 3 people in a townhouse. Keen for that, even if it might hinder uni work.

When you guys post could you also post if you're at uni, working full time or whatever? I'm at uni and working part time at two jobs (heh, well, heh, three, cos I'm a rap superstar. Last gig I got paid 20 beers. Money in the bank, bitch).

I'm about to be paying $600 AUD a month for a pretty good sized flat in a cool part of Sydney. I pay half of the rent so really it is $1200. That's really pretty expensive because back home that would be like an £800 a month flat which is nuts but the exchange rate sucks and sydney is expensive. I can afford it since i'm only paying half though so i'm not gonna moan!

I don't have a job right now but if I find a part time job in a cafe within the next couple of weeks then I should be fine. I'll be going back to Scotland in september to start uni where I'll be back in student flats again. Gonna do it right this time. gonna make a new pal.

£303 a month at the minute. can barely afford it since i'm living off of student loan!
