Effective rent: spreads the value of free-rent weeks and lease credits across the selected lease term. Your lease may apply concessions differently.

Move-in cash: combines first-month rent and the one-time amounts entered, then subtracts the entered move-in credit. Refundable deposits are still shown as cash required up front.

Planning tool only: actual lease terms, utilities, deposits, fees, concessions, insurance, and screening requirements vary by property and landlord.

01 / Real Cost Look past advertised rent.

Add utilities, insurance, parking, pet costs and recurring fees.

02 / Move-In Check your up-front cash.

Include deposits, application fees, move-in costs and utility setup.

03 / Lease Compare the whole lease.

Factor in concessions, roommate sharing and possible future rent increases.

Cost Check
