If
you are leaving to study
or work you need to find
accommodation in the area
you are moving to.
If it is simply time for
you to move on from home
you should get organised
money wise before leaving.
The first place to go and
visit is your local Careers
Scotland office 
who can help you with your
employment options and advise
you about benefits.
You can get free confidential
advice from Shelter's free housing advice helpline
on 0808
800 4444 if you
don't want to speak to someone
local about moving.

Finding
places to stay in rural
areas is difficult, especially
council or housing association
ones. The waiting lists
can be years long.
You might get a winter
let from a private landlord.
This means that you can
have a place until April
and then you have to leave
so it can be let to tourists.
Some people live in caravans
and you can sometimes
get lodgings in houses
and farms with spare rooms.

If
you decide to apply for
housing in your area you
should contact your local
Council Housing Department
.
In some rural areas there
are ‘Common Housing
Registers'. This means
that when you apply to
the council they put your
name down on Housing Association
and other landlords' waiting
lists as well as their
own. If there isn't one,
ask for a list of the
other landlords and apply
to them yourself, as this
increases your chances
of getting a place.
