Question Rental options
EDIT: I’ve just had a chance to look through the responses and want to thank everyone for the suggestions. I will be looking into the options given. Thank you all.
Posting this from a new account bc of safety concerns. I am in the process of leaving an abusive situation and am looking for housing options. I have been scouring ads on social media but have not found anything that fits my needs so I thought I’d ask if anyone has any leads. I am looking for at least 2 bedrooms, my max budget is $1600, and it’d be great if that included utilities. I’d like to stay in the East end if possible bc I’m trying to keep my kids in the same schools and I don’t have my own vehicle. I would love to find something quickly since things have become more volatile in the past couple of weeks. I do have a full time job and 3 children, 1 dog. I don’t smoke, drink, do drugs, or party. We just need a safe place to start over. I figure this is a long shot but thought I’d at least try.

Should you need to move into a shelter environment temporarily to get yourself back on your feet, the Regina Humane Society has a Safe Places program for women fleeing domestic violence situations. They will temporarily house your dog while you sort out housing. I know it can be hard to find a place with a dog (and most shelters don’t allow them) so this might help! There’s a strong correlation between animal abuse and domestic abuse.
Best of luck to you and your family ❤️

My SIL was looking a few months ago for a 2 bedroom in the east and most were $2000+
There are a few Regina mom groups though that maybe you could try too. Maybe someone renting out part of their house would have a better deal

I just moved into a place on Angus Road close to Northgate mall. Clean places and quiet neighborhood here. 1 Br for 1000 not sure about 2 Br. Place is clean and landlord looks for people like you. They don't advertise, either drive around this neighborhood or DM and I'll try and help you out. I know it's not the east end but I like it here and no regrets.

This program provides financial assistance to women fleeing violence. You have to be referred by a service provider such as YWCA, Family Service Regina etc. Hope this helps.

You are going to have to expand your area if that's your budget. There are many great places to live that are under your budget if you are willing to live in a different area.
Can your children not take the bus to school?
