Some apprentices house share.Which is an accomodation option where you rent a room or ensuite.You would have to choose a room £500-1000 depending on the location and what you can afford, visit first and then choose to proceed. Tiktok is really useful in showing this process. Look at sites using spare room,right move etc

No there aren't unfortunately. This is because it is expected that you can live on the salary paid. I am personally in the same situation but have purposely targeted all my applications so that I am only applying to ones that pay a liveable salary (eg- nothing under 26k)

Unless you're living in London you should be able to rent on 20k

if someone was earning 20k, what should their rent budget ideally be?

I've always been told rent should be less than a third of your monthly salary so preferably £550/600 or less

Yes I agree with that. I am only applying to London thats why! It also depends on if you want to be able to have disposable income or be able to afford just what you need
