Moving can be expensive. It is not enough to just pay a bit for an application fee and then the first month’s rent. There are often other expenses that you will need to take on just to leave one apartment and move into a new one. If this is the first apartment you have ever rented or you are looking at a new apartment and it has been a long time since you moved, then you may forget about some of these expenses as well. Not only will you need to pay for the application fee when it is time to move, you may need to pay:

# For all of the moving supplies that are necessary for the move.

# For movers to come and help you or even for a moving truck to make things easier.

# Your application fee

# The fee to change your utilities or get them set up in your name.

# The first month’s rent. Some landlords are also going to ask for the last month’s rent as well.

# A security deposit to help in case you destroy the property.

# Any pet deposits that you would need to pay if you are bringing along a pet with you.

# A little emergency fund in case something comes up during your big more.

As you can see, these fees are going to add up quicky if you are not careful. This is why you need to consider saving and budgeting for some time before it is time to move. You will need to consider the size of the apartment and the location for it as well to help you figure out exactly the amount that you will need to pay to move into a new apartment that is all your own. Having three to four months of rent saved up for the move is a good place to start, though it never hurts to put a bit more in savings to make sure that you don’t run out and you have some extra.
