Hi all,
a friend of ours recently moved to Edinburgh from Greece, where she was unable to get a job and the general situation is pretty dire. She moved in to her daughter's room in a student flat and has managed to get a few part time jobs, I think she does fifteen hours a week in a restaurant plus four or five cleaning jobs, but she doesn't earn enough to get somewhere by herself and the landlord wants her to move out of her daughter's room. She's responded to adverts for a few flat shares, but these have always been with young people who didn't really want a middle aged Greek lady cramping their style. She now needs to find somewhere to live by the end of the month. Does anyone have any tips?
In particular, does anyone know of any non-student shared houses looking for new tenants? Or if there's a site advertising these things that isn't heavily dominated by people in their early twenties?
Does anyone know any older people with a spare room who would like to have someone live there, and perhaps help out a little?
Does anyone know of good organisations who could help her?
Thanks for your help!
