Make sure you can afford it with some wiggle room. Try and find somewhere under budget so you’ll never be struggling to pay rent. Also try and save up as much money as you can so you can get some groceries, dishes, furniture, & decor if you need it.

Make sure u have a job, save up and when u are looking for a place make sure u can afford it on top of the other bills that come along with it

Save up as much money as possible so you have an emergency stash and can also afford deposit, which is usually first and last months rent plus a security fee. Make sure it’s an apartment you can afford and it doesn’t eat up all of your paycheck. Also make sure you have a steady full time job.

Beyond saving up (which is smart. Always have enough you could pay your rent and gas for at least another two months is what my dad always said!) but beyond just that, also make sure you know and have the life skills you need. Can you do laundry? Cook your own meal? Do you know how to pay bills (difference between direct deposits/checks/debit/credit?) Do you have any credit? Have you looked at several places to live and found the best price and also a good safe environment? Can you make a budget and save money for yourself so if there was ever a problem you had enough to live on for a month or two? Just some other things to consider! If you don’t know these things I’d definitely ask around or do some research just so you are prepared!

Have money saved up before you do. Deposits add up and can be expensive
