The cost of rent depends on the part of the city you live in. In the Taksim area rents are from about 700-1000+TL/mo. There are some cheaper options if you don't mind living in a dump. There are also some places that post ads for roommates. You might also check out craig's list on the web, expatriate.com, sabinden.com

Are there any places in Istanbul where expats hang out that might have a bulliten board where people post for room mates?

Really? I am sure he didn`t know that. Does that mean that the ex pat enclave of Beyoglu and Cihangir is more expensive than gercek Turkiye such as Esenyurt?

Yeah and I don`t give a toss

I also have work permit/monthly salary/social security/sick pay/holiday pay issues but our rep doesn`t give a toss either.
