So I& #39;m looking for a place to stay. This is a warning to young people too... And if anyone has something available.
I& #39;m now single, after 6 years we& #39;ve decided to be adults about it and before we hurt each other rather do what& #39;s best for both of us.. I now need a place to stay

You& #39;d think for a someone earning between 10 and 15k a month it would be easy to find a nice single bedroom appartment, but turns out stupid mistakes I made when I was 21 really screwed the pooch.
I got married at 21, many of you will remember that ended horribly in 2012. Well I was stuck with the debt of that marriage and have only now actually recovered financially. Soon I& #39;ll have a debt clearance certificate issued by the NCR. And I will be essentially debt free! Yay!
So now, even with what I earn and a relatively good but steady income for 3 years (knives included) it would be easy to find a 1 bedroom apartment.... Well actually not.
I& #39;ve applied for and paid for rental applications for about 5 places now, Al between R4800 and R6500 a month, after telling estate agents that I am waiting for a clearance certificate, and a letter from my accountant stating I& #39;m debt free and can afford this.... Only to be told
Sure dude, you& #39;re a nice guy, apply and I& #39;m sure it will be fine... Well 3k and a bit later in application fees (they all want their own credit reports and fees) I have been declined for every. Single. One.
I& #39;m looking for someone that& #39;s will give me a chance, I can pay a deposit off over 2 months, afford up to 6500 a month, I& #39;m really wanting a one-bedroom in a safe area anything in Somerset west, Strand or Gordons bay. I need to get my life back on track again.
So there is a place called De Velde, the rent is like 6k a month. Some of these places have been empty for a while. They& #39;d rather let them stay empty than look at my bank statements and see I can afford it. Any how. Kids, don& #39;t marry unless you& #39;re sure.
Also, don& #39;t let her look at you and tell you shell pick up the slack and you cover the credit stuff... Shit goes south very fast.
