Looking for what to know when renting an apartment and more on the apartment search process?
Whether you are apartment hunting alone or renting an apartment with friends, this video goes into detail on what to know when renting an apartment for the first time, apartment tips for first time renters, and what to ask on an apartment tour! I also share personal experiences about my first apartment out of college and what it's like to make these decisions with roommates.
If you're watching this video and in the process of renting your first (or second or third) apartment, let me know what you think and if you have any other questions I didn't cover!
Love always,
Katie Reny

I understand that this video is coming from the US and i don't live in the US, but i've heard A LOT about not spending over 30% of your income in rent and bills, and that in Argentina is simply impossible, when a normal medium income is about 24 thousand pesos (about 160 usd) and rent for a decent looking place (about 370 square feet), is 21 thousand pesos (about 140 usd) and without any utilities included. You either have to settle for a much much smaller place (about 200 square feet) and pay around 16 thousand pesos (about 106 usd) or get a 370 square feet place that is old and not well mantained at all, old wiring and all. And most of these places i mentioned do not include utilities, expenses, AC, kitchen, microwave, fridge or a heater. The newest ones for about 21 thousand pesos are newly made nad they do have AC but that is it, all the other appliances and bills are on top of it all. It's soulcrushing to hunt for a place in Argentina.

Know this is an old comment but I totally agree. With today’s rent prices it’s impossible for a lot of people to spend only 30% of their income for rent to live somewhere they are comfortable, even in the United States. In the end, what you spend is what you’re comfortable with.

@@bibifolchi36 I know this comment is also old, but I just wanna piggyback and say I've never seen a place I can get for 30% of average income, and I don't even live in a big city! Seems like you HAVE to have roommates which sucks bigtime, that's why I'm looking at videos like this, I don't want roommates forever!!

I was told that because I will be living in a Multi Unit & I have to go through them to pay my water bill can someone explains to me what means. This is my first time paying bills/ getting my first apartment

@KatieReny 3 жыл бұрын

That sounds like the apartment building is getting charged for your water usage (instead of you being charged directly from the water company) and the apartment will probably have you pay them for that bill along with your rent each month. But I would double check with them to make sure!
