Cost of Renting an Apartment

I was out showing apartments again and another good question was brought up that I thought I would share with you.  My client asked me about what kind of costs she could expect.  I know it is always more than people usually expect but I would rather have my client be aware than to have her caught off guard.  So I told her about this list:         

• Application fee
• Deposit 
• Administration fee
• Pet deposit
• Maybe pet rent (that's right)
• Utility transfer fee or setup fee and deposit
• Gas connection fee and maybe a deposit
• Maybe an extra deposit if your credit isn't great

She said she expected most of it, but was glad she asked because she had overlooked a few costs.  We looked at about four apartments and she chose the second one that we had looked at.  When you are out looking for apartments, always ask questions if you are not sure.  You can always call us as well.  I hope everyone is doing well.
