After facing a 73 per cent rent increase last year, Mickey secured affordable accommodation. But that didn't last long.
I used to be Michael but I've had a bit of 'Mariel' moment since moving to Melbourne, and I now go by Mickey.
[Reporter's note: If that reference is lost on you, it's probably best you get up to speed with one of Australia's best films, Muriel's Wedding, stat!]I've been volunteering at a radio station in Collingwood since August last year. They have offered me a casual gig to see me through this situation.Earlier this year I was comped a placement in their radio announcer course which I had completed, and I recorded my very first show broadcast demo just a few weeks ago.
Out here I've connected with the Vinnies Soup Van, which sounds like a cup of soup, but actually I get between $30 and $40 worth of groceries when I go.I'm staying healthy. I've been able to follow my health and specialist appointments. I put that down to having security of having a place like this here, whereas last year it was so precarious.
My best friend has also made generous offers like covering my rent if I find a new place and still have to pay the rent here over the notice period.who can help with rent and bond loans if you meet certain criteria.I'm not sitting pretty regarding the rent increase.Unfortunately, I thinkI see people at inspections who are living out of their cars, or looking through the property with all their belongings they've brought in from the park.
