Whether
you are setting up a house with friends or moving into an already
established place, it's going to be pretty expensive to begin with.
The immediate costs will be bond (usually four weeks rent - it may
be more if the place is furnished by the landlord), two weeks rent
in advance and possibly a share of the electricity, gas and phone
connections. Plus moving costs. Then there are the ongoing weekly
expenses. Some costs are listed in weekly
expenses so you have an idea of what you're getting yourself in
for before you take the plunge.
