and our rent is gonna be $425 every week, but the thing is, we get payed bi-weekly i get paid $680 a week, but i get payed instead $1360 every other week, so it's impossible for me to pay rent every week, if we call in, do you think they'd be able to let us instead just pay $1700 a month? instead of every week.

You can speak to the landlord and offer to pay monthly, however there are 52 weeks per year and at $425 per week you'd pay $1841.67 per month. You have to time $425 by 52 and then devide by 12 (months) to get to the correct monthly amount. Otherwise just pay weekly and make sure you have $425 in your account every week for the rent to go out, don't spend all of your fortnighly pay at once. :-)
You need to make sure to have enough money to afford the rent. In Australia it is popular to share a house with another person or couple, maybe just rent a room in a house and share the common spaces, that will save a lot of money and you meet new people. :-)
both me and my partner have anxiety issues and i have some schizophrenia issues, so we're trying to avoid living with anyone else, plus we're both horrible with interacting with other people
my partner actually gets payed $680 a week too so all together we have $1360 a week, more or less, after taxes a lot less, but a lot of that money is going to my surgery bills and appointments, and my before surgery stuff will be $250 dollars in one week, plus a near 18,000 dollar surgery that i'll need to be getting in a year, a long with my shots i'll need to take leading up to that, we just dont know how we're gonna afford rent and that at the same time.
