How the hell do I get my own apartment. I gota move out my parents place in about a month. I've been trying for find someone looking for a room mate. My search does not go well though. Like whats all required to secure my own abode.

 

If your parents really want you out id see if theyd help with getting the place for you

 

Probably a security deposit. Some places don't have them, but most do. Usually you have to fork over something like $200 or $500or something at the time of signing. You get this money back if you don't trash the place.

A lot of places with have some sort of 'application fee' BS of like $50 or something as well. You don't get that money back. Basically they're ripping you off and there's no way around it.

A lot of places also will waive these fees if you work at a company that is sleeping with your apartment complex.

 

^^ Dude..people dont give you the money back..They will do/say anything to keep it. When my sister moved out of her first **** hole appt. we spent 2 extra days cleaning it and had it looking better thn before she moved in. we turned the keys in 1 day late because of the extra time cleaning it, and they said she owed them the deposit money for the extra day of rent...That night i egged the holy living crap out of there appts..have fun cleaning that douche bags.

Anyways..im looking to move out to. i admit its not easy finding a decent place to live.

 

its tough, **** is expensive, good luck.

 

i had a couple of friends have some success on roommates.com. Give that a try?

 

Most places want a secruity deposit that varies depending on your credit report. Just find a place in the niciest area you live in for a price you can affort without a roomate, that way if they stiff you won't be to screwed. And since its your 1st place don't try to blow money on crap you don't need ie big *** tv and top of line furniture. Good Luck.

 

your diet and grocery shopping will be much different than at your moms, lol.

 

If you got 2 months worth of rent then you can get into an apt as soon as you want.

+1 on the eating habits. boy do that change when you get your first place. im almost 27 and just now starting to eat 'normal' again with home cooked meals.

 

not me. i'm 28 and still live on easy mac and taco bell
