Flat - leave or not to leave?

Help please!


I live in Hung Hom. I pay 5k for a 1 bedroom/ balcony/ kitchen/ awesome bathroom and decent living room... I'm quite ok but work and everything else is in HK side.



They are increasing the rent next year.. 6k


I'm 23 and my family is in HK side. It's not that far off but I have a little brother and blah blah blah... it gets really lonely and I want to move back to HK side...


and NO.. I don't want to move back with my mum


Anyway, I am ready to move out but here's my problem:


I have to look for a decent flat... which hopefully will cost me 6k a month.

I have to give a month notice.


Here comes the problem. I have found 2 flats. Considering. They need me to sign the contract very soon.


If I leave my flat now, I need to pay 5k even if I don't live there for a month. I need to leave my flat by Nov.30th.


If I don't sign now, I will loose the 2 flats.


I told myself to keep on looking and I will sign by the end of this month... IF I AM LUCKY to find a good flat.


Should I gamble it and keep on looking? Or should I just stay where I am... and wait till next year and find a flat?


Money wise: If I leave my place now... deposit cut in half... 3months rent... van and misc. expenses... really expensive... If I get a flat in the end of the month... they'll give me my 2month deposit which will help with the deposit for my new flat...


I dunno what to do please help????
