<prompt> Human: Hi guys. I dont know if this is the best place to ask this question, if it is more relevant to another subreddit, please direct me there, thanks :Im 19 currently living at home with my mother and younger brother 16. Im in the process of looking for full-time work as I put university on hold for the year to pursue a career as a sports writer, which is going rather well.As Im unemployed, I receive 250 a fortnight in government benefits as a job seeker. 120 of this a fortnight is going to my mother in the form of rent, which is roughly 45 of what I earn. I feel like this is a bit too much, and considering we never had a formal agreement over what she would charge me, Ive never had the chance to raise my concerns over the amount of money shes taking every 2 weeks. On top of this, I know if I do raise an issue with it, shell take it very badly and get super angry.Do I have grounds to have the rent lowered, or should I just suck it up and deal with it until I can afford to move out? Thanks.  <response>: I dont live in AUS but I can guarantee the amount you pay is massively lower than your own place. I say just suck it up for now. Does this include utilities and food? If so its a good deal.
