one thing in certainty, if a persons' house rent allowance can't suffice to accomodate him/her an exlusive use of a place...then an only option is to open the place for sharing...

i think, by doing that... then one will have to shift a role from rentee into the much displeased landlords.

for the hassles and of sorts, i'd rather avoid getting myself into more troubles. i can easily shift places when opportunity knocks if i'm just sharing.

as what you had said earlier, better look around for better options.
