What you get

What it actually takes to move out and not move back. Written for a first apartment: the deposits nobody warns you about, the real monthly total once utilities land, and which appliances are worth buying new.

It starts with the arithmetic that decides everything - the figure you must clear every month before renting is even safe - then works through hunting, inspecting, signing, furnishing, and the first three months, which are the ones people underestimate.

  • The figure you need to clear monthly before renting is safe
  • Advance, deposit, association dues and the move-in costs in full
  • What to check in a unit before you sign, in order
  • Reading an electricity bill, and the appliances that drive it
  • Buying appliances secondhand: what is safe and what is not
  • A first-three-months plan, with the costs that arrive late
  • A printable twenty-question sheet to take into the unit
  • A "more effort, less cost" tally in every chapter
