Moving out of your parent’s house and into your own apartment is such an exciting time in your life! You finally have the freedom you’d been waiting or all of your teens, and the added responsibility that can really make you feel mature.

Now unless you have unlimited funds, you’re going to have to stick to a budget when it comes to apartment hunting. And there are so many hidden costs that you’re not going to know about until you face them.

Here’s where my help comes in.

Living in 4 different places the last four years, I’ve got a pretty basic idea what to expect when it comes to renting (& moving, LOL). I’ll give you a heads up on what could pop up in expenses, and what’s good and bad signs when narrowing down your search.

The Best Apps for Productivity & Organization
