    Just a thought, I didn't move out til I was married, but I used to do a LOT of housesitting for friends and family. It was great, because I could move out and collect my sanity away from my big family, learn a bit about looking after myself re cooking and cleaning and just being on my own y'know? At one point I was away from home for 3 months, for a friend who went up north, and this included paying bills and feeding pets etc. Great learning curve with a timeline, like dipping my toe in.

    Not sure if its a feasible option for you, just thought I'd put it out there

    If she does move in with the friend or family, I'd make it pretty clear that it's ALL between SDD and them. Not you!

    They may have better luck looking for a bungalow to rent privately???

    Absolutely right Lulu! It definitely has its pitfalls but I don't think their ideal scenario (2br unit on private lease) is doable. Remind me where your DD moved to - was it in with a mate or private rental?
