When a relationship breaks down and you have been living together in a rental property, making arrangements to break the lease or for someone to come off it can be difficult.
It can be a financially stressful time, working out how to afford to pay rent on one income and also potentially looking to secure a new rental property.
There may also be safety considerations to plan for if you have experienced or are experiencing family violence.
