Lodging for single people DODEA Europe

Hi all.

thanks in advance for any replies,

T.

Couple of Questions LQA should be sufficient even as a single person. You can rent a house, apartment, condo, etc. Whatever you can afford (I'd assume you want to find a place your LQA would cover). You can look up what your LQA rate would be here: https://webapps.dodea.edu/lqarates/ratesrpt.cfm
