When the rent at Meetinghouse Apartments goes up, we understand the temptation to shop and see what else is available.
We don’t want to see you leave, so please factor in the costs of moving as you contemplate your decision. In addition to the wear and tear on you and the friends and family you enlist to help you, it will cost you over $500 to move. You’ll also need to save enough cash for the first month’s rent and security deposit.
Here’s an example of the costs of a typical budget move.
