📊 Terms Made Simple
Overlap Rent: The days you're paying rent on BOTH your old and new place. Typically 1-2 weeks. At $2,000/mo, 14 days of overlap = $933 extra.
Security Deposit: Usually 1 month's rent for the new place. Budget this on top of first month's rent. That's 2x rent due on day one.
Utility Setup Fees: Electric, gas, water, internet — each charges $25-100 to start service. Budget $200-400 total.
CapEx/Supplies: Boxes ($50-200), tape, bubble wrap, mattress bags, wardrobe boxes. Plus cleaning supplies for both places.
