I.G. from
I plan to move by January of next year and I was wondering how much money people spend to move into a one bedroom apartment? Include whatever you can such as decorating the headquarters, security deposit etc.
Answer
I've literally lived all over the world and I can tell you that for starters...a lot depends on what town or city you'll be moving to, the neighborhood in that town or city you'd like to live in, the age of the building, the size of the apartment itself and the "extras" the building does or doesn't offer it's tentants. All apartments are not created equal.
.
A "tiny one bedroom, unfurnished, uncarpeted, no AC, no curtains/drapes, no kitchen appliances, no assigned parking space, you pay your own utilities, you clean-up after the last tentant before you move in, and paint it at your own expense apartment" in a small town in a rural county will be a lot cheaper to rent then a similair apartment in New York City. And even in New York it can vary from one neighborhood to the next.
.
A spacious one bedroom "bachelor/bacheloret apartment" with den/office, fully carpeted, custom drapes, fresh paint, professionally cleaned, fireplace, deluxe fully equipped kitchen, master bathroom,"powder room" and laundry room, doorman plus security parking, AC, building SPA & exercise rooms, indoor pool, etc. in a small town in a rural county will be a lot cheaper to rent then a similair apartment in New York City. And again, even in New York it can vary from one neighborhood to the next.
.
Location is a BIG deal everywhere in the world... as much so as the actual square footage of an apartment.
.
As for "decorating" costs...that depends on your tastes and more importantly...your budget. You can go to a second hand shop and furnish an apartment with "the basics" for five hundred dollars....or you can spend five hundred dollars for a lamp. Your choice... your pocket book. If your budget is on the small size...throw a "house warming party" and let your friends and relatives help you out with household gifts or gift cards.
.
There are no hard and fast rules when determining what expenses you'll have when renting any apartment or house. The owners make the rules and what they require from their tentants "up-front" moneywise. However...most want to rent/lease in a competitive manner while still making a profit. That is why they have invested money into a building and are renting/leasing that property...to earn a profit. In general landlords set their rental rates according to the "going rates" for similair apartments in the same general area of a town. If an apartment in one area is say $500 a month, and a similair apartment is $1,000 a month on the other side of town, there'll be a real good reason and you can bet that other landlords are getting similair rents.
You get what you pay for. If a rental price seems too good to be true...it probably is.
Time to check out the neighborhood and chat up a few of the other tentants or neighbors. Visit the neighborhood at night...which is probably when you'll be spending the most time in your apartment. Make sure there aren't noises at night that will prevent you from sleeping like airplanes taking off and landing at a near by airport. If you are a day sleeper, pay attention to any day time noises that might do the same....like a bus stop out front, a church across the street (one with beautiful LOUD bells)....or a fire station or hospital...a "open 24 hours" store, etc.
..
On average though most landlords will usually want at least the first month's rent plus a month's rent as a "security deposit". Some want first and last month's rent PLUS an additional "security deposit".
If pets are allowed, you'll also be expected to cough up an additional month's rent as a "pet deposit" if you have or get a pet at any point. And don't make the mistake of thinking you can sneak a kitty in without the landlord's knowledge. Someone will find out or suspect a cat when they see you hauling kitty litter in & out and they will report you. And if you think you can somehow talk the landlord into letting you keep your pet when & if you get caught...well good luck with that. Your personal pet deposit amount may be double what others had to pay since the landlord can no longer trust you.
And if the landlord has a friend or relative in need of your apartment...this may be just the excuse needed to get you evicted. Never try to pull a "fast one" over on your landlord...your next landlord may want a reference from them.
.
So if rent is say $700 a month and you want to bring along your cat, you may need to have $2100 (or more) up front for the landlord when you sign your lease agreement... before he/she will hand over a key.
Mind you, there can easily be other fees and deposits required. That's something you'll have to discuss with each landlord or apartment building/complex manager in advance. These things can vary from one place to another within the same town or city.
.
If utilities are not included with the rent, you'll have to contact the local utilities companies to see what sort of deposit you'll need to place in order to have your utilities turned on. Most landlords will require that you have the utilities turned on so that there is heat in the apartment during cold weather. This is not out of concern for your comfort it is so their property (such as water pipes) won't be damaged by the cold. This is only in your best interest as well because they can sue you for repairs...which aren't cheap.
Which brings us to renters insurance...get it. Your landlord is not required to insure your belongings or pay for any damages you or your guests cause to their building, other tentants' belongings, or other tentants etc. They are also not responsible for damages their other tentants may cause to you or your belongings. If another tentant doesn't have insurance or the money to pay you for damages or hospital bills, etc. you could get stuck footing the tab out of your own pocket if you don't have your own insurance. If you throw a party & a drunken guest punches out your neighbor who has come to your door to complain about the noise or a guest leaves a cigerette burning in an ashtray left on the arm of your sofa OR you step out one morning to check your mail while frying some bacon and you stop to chat with a neighbor (or any one of a thousand ways accidental fires get started every day) you can be sued for it.
So like I said...always get renter's insurance. If you're smart enough to get car insurance... then be smart enough to get renter's.insurance.
What is a good workout that i could do in my bedroom, that lets me burn 500 calories a day and for how long?
Edgeworth
dont say jumping jacks, jump rope , or running. i have to do a workout that noone knows about, if i jump people can hear me from outside my room.
Answer
I don't think you realize how hard it is to burn 500 calories a day by not doing an aerobic exercise.
However, the first question you need to answer is your weight. If you are bigger 200+, then push-ups can get your heart going. Push-ups are a plyometric exercise and will not give you the muscle that free weights will give you, but it is still very good if you are overweight because it gets the heart going. The same goes for crunches and sit-ups.
I strongly suggest free weights. A set for a couple hundred dollars will work you wonders. Yet, it seems like you want to lose weight. You need to start with your diet. Cut out all the pop/soda, cookies, chips, etc.
Your question is very open and to answer completely you need to provide more information. There is no way though that you will be able to burn 500 calories in your room without free weights. You will burn yourself out if you try and burn that many calories with sit-ups and push-ups and that is not good because you are not working other muscle groups.
