Rent To Own Houses In Chicago How Much Should I Expect To Pay To Rent An Apartment/house?

How much should I expect to pay to rent an apartment/house? - rent to own houses in chicago

I am 17 and do not know much about it, but I know it will cost more than the listed price. I wonder how I can pay the rent, if certain things. For example:

"The apartment has to pay a list price of $ 900 per month. For how many a. Is everything included?
"A real home $ 1500 per month. (Rent with option to let not only me) also hope that public services are not included. In Chicago (cold winters and hot summers), what do you think think it would be?

I am also aware of costs separately, as things like food, cable, internet, first needs, etc., so I'm going in a completely different category. I hope that these cost about $ 300 a month?

I ask this because I have talked with a friend move into our own place, while attending a community college and work. I am aware of the things involved, but for now I'm curious about the price. No major decision was made at all.

If your parents (or people, where are you now) do not you take, you need to stay where he is. In many places will rent to a person under 18 years. Let's say you have 18 years at time of rental, and many owners have a credit history, collateral, which is 21 + and / or references, and the first month, last month and security deposit. Say you get to a place to rent with your friends ... You will reach about 3 months' rent in the early going in (the first month, last month, and security is often the value of a month). I should also note that work to save 2-3 months rent if you are unemployed for a while or something like that happens, you or your neighbor. Sometimes people do not agree and the tenant moves or should move elsewhere.
Other costs: Unless you have a lot of things that you might be a friend to help you save and get moving expenses to Move On. Otherwise, you can expect to pay $ 60-100 + / hour for a moving company for your move. U-Haul and elsewheres is cheaper, but often they have no rules relating to rent a truck for young people under 21 years. So think of it.
Furniture ... People tend to move a new job and not because a sofa and other furniture, kitchen equipment (how to keep things simple dishes, cutlery, etc. .., so that the eye). Looking at $ 400 for a sofa and easy extra $ 300 for other things for the household, such as crockery, soap, etc. ...

OK, they say, wages are depending on the city. I do not live in Chicago, but when something like the cold in Boston, watch out! If the place is an old system, ask the owner for the average previous accounting (sometimes call the electric company or gas can be filled). Places with new heating systems are not necessarily cheaper, because new units use more electricity in order to effectively remove light and heat. Ask the landlord if utilities included, and ensure that it is in their contract. The other thing you should consider whether the snow removal is their responsibility or ownership. What you have in your lease. Somethingstating that the owner to remove snow from steps and walkways within 24 or 48 hours after the snow / thunderstorm. I think you should budget $ 300 per month for utilities. It is often lower, but it really depends on what type of system has its place and move your guests and save energy.
Another thing you can do is find a community college, which has references to housing. Most community colleges do not have any homes, but accommodation on campus or an agreement with the owners. You can in a place with 4 rooms with two others already there, or can find a house and find other friends. The first case is logical because then you know how public services were.

Good luck to you!

It depends on where you live in Chicago. If you continue west, you get a better price / performance ratio. If you want to live in Lincoln Park and Wrigleyville, it will cost. You should be able to find a flat 2-room apartment in a decent environment during 1200-1400, with the exception of utilities. I recommend that in Wicker Park or area of Logan Square. The utility bills will be entirely on the construction starting. Some seats are heated with electricity, some by gas. Some of the old school building has radiators, and some are very modern. In general, the most modern facilities of the building (the modern windows are tightly closed), more efficient and cheaper public services. You can probably expect to pay up to $ 100 for each account. It is a very rough estimate of between expensive and cheap. As I am that age, I lived on about $ 2000/month.
