Re: Tell HN: Everyone should have a holiday dinner this year
#54I just wish I had someone to talk to. This year, like last year, and the year before, and the year before… I spend it alone, hating myself for being the unlovable mass of fat and depression that I am. It’s just be nice if one night a year I could pretend not to be me, to pretend that there are people who have warm feelings towards me, who will not lock me up in a mental institution and then block me on everything fro…

#55Currently in Melbourne Australia having been dropped right in it by a friend who said I could rent their place while they're on holiday and then they changed their mind last minute yesterday, leaving me suddenly homeless on Christmas Eve. Currently in a park on Christmas day a three hour train ride away, because I had nothing else to do and rides are free today. Thanks for your post, it really cheered me up on a Chri…
I have been homeless in Melbourne too. Rent market there is a bitch to get into. I had usd30k in my Account, but no home as no one wanted to rent out to a single young male. University was no help either. Got Lucky and met some hosts at a party.
Out of curiosity, why were the reluctant to rent to a single young male? Is there an Australian stigma against renting to that demographic?

From my experience in Melbourne and in the major EU cities, the primary reasons for this I learned from landlords are:
- They prefer tenants willing to lease for longer time-frames, single young males are very likely to relocate rather quick.
- Single young males are less likely to take good care of the apartment.
- A working couple has a better financial stability.

Hmm, that makes sense. Unfortunate though.
In the US there are supposed to be equal opportunity housing and landlords aren't supposed to discriminate like that, but of course it's hard to prove or enforce and many do anyway...

Party house. Or at least that's the theory.

Yes this. And or that they do not feel co.fortable having another man in the house (for when it is a Studio rental in a larger house or when it is an established shared flat.
