i'm looking at this scenario - and wondering how i will be able to do it, with 50% of income going on rent (at bottom end of rental market).

Public Housing (who will help with bond for private rental, but not with public housing) recommend you don't rent anywhere that is more than 35% of your income.

i can't find any rentals that are less than 50% of my income.

what do other single mums on CL do about this?

i've never been a single mum before (just about to leave - when i can find somewhere to live for me and bilby) so please forgive my question if it sounds very naive - this is all new to me.
