Part 1: First apartment move-in costs, one page
The rent is only part of the number. Before you sign a lease, add up what it costs to get in the door and live there for the first month. This page is a short worksheet for that. It takes about ten minutes with a pen and a calculator.
Prices vary a lot by city and landlord, so use real figures from the listing and from the landlord, not guesses.
Step 1: Costs due before you move in
Ask the landlord or property manager for a written list. Fill in what you are told.
