I am going to live independently: what do I need to arrange and what am I entitled to?

• Do you want to rent a room?
• Rent or buy?
• Social rent or private sector?
• Are you entitled to a rent allowance?

Not sure how to go about this? In that case, use Digidingen-desk’s checklist showing exactly what you need to arrange. Tip: download and print out the checklist.
