How It Works
The first month after moving is the most expensive. Expect to spend 3-5x your monthly rent when factoring in security deposits, moving costs, utility setup, and essentials. A common rule of thumb is to have savings equal to three months of rent before moving. Do not forget hidden costs like parking permits, pet deposits, renter insurance, and cleaning supplies for the new place.
