How to Rent an Apartment - Tips!! ! | Brittany Daniel

[@Jqweex]

I just dont want to become homeless

[@ChatiseE]

how'd that work out

[@JillianBaileyMcc]

I'm saving for my first place and still living with my family. This video just gave me so much encouragement because patience is sooo hard when you want to upgrade your life. Thank You ! ✨

[@MrsBrittanyGold]

Journey Christians you're very welcome! I'm so happy it helped.

[@JillianBaileyMcc]

Brittany Daniel yes, it was great. I definitely counted my blessings after this and I'm thoroughly inspired by this and the dealing with failure vid. Im interested in a video about how to handle stressful family/household situations the RIGHT & responsible way 🙋🏽

[@JillianBaileyMcc]

Also I'd love to share your video on my blog. Its www.TheJourneyJewelry.com you can check it out and let me know if its okay for me to add this or another inspiring video to my Blog.

[@MrsBrittanyGold]

Ok, thanks so much. I left home right after I graduated high school. I went off to college and made it my life's mission to NEVER move back home because my mom and I didn't get along under the same roof. You would be surprised that the number one cause of beef in the home ( my opinion) is you're an adult, is just that, you're and adult and you want to do your own thing, and they have a different idea of what you should be doing. But that's the key, don't get too comfortable and never leave. Use that as motivation to keep saving, working hard ( two jobs even) and move out. All that tension means it's time to go. Not that you don't love them, or they don't love you, you're just older. You have to keep your mouth closed and stay respectful because it's there house.Don't bite the hand that feeds you. When you move out, if you get into it, you can leave and finish the talk when you want. Not in their house. Use everything around you to motivate you to keep pushing, and create better habits for yourself (productive ones) and set some goals. You can't be lazy (not saying you are) if you want to be great. It takes hard work, no short cuts. You can do it. And if you need anything or have any questions just let me know.

[@JillianBaileyMcc]

Brittany Daniel I agree ! I try to keep my mouth shut and not be disrespectful at all but I do feel the desire growing that the time is coming for me to move out so everything around me motivates me to stick to budget, deny immediate pleasures to save for more rewarding ones like my own place. Sometimes I feel guilty like if I loved my parents or if I was really grateful I wouldn't want to move out but it's obviously natural to leave the nest at some point. I have a money goal & date set. And I'm working hard to secure either a promotion at work or better job by my graduation date next May. How did you tell your mom you were moving out & was it a big deal or did she take it well?

[@LoveKirana]

The roommate stuff is exactly why i'm just moving by myself. Also some people do not clean like you or not as organize as you are. Getting your own place is ideal if you're someone who know you can not live with ppl for long save to and make sure you make enough money to live by yourself.

[@indu116]

[@Madame1912]

I'm late but this comment is the truth! I see all these videos about people living own their own but they have roommates. It's better to get your own place just you and not any tension that comes with having roommates.

[@carnishaxo1836]

You honestly should have more views!!! Your channel is very helpful to young people!

[@MrsBrittanyGold]

Thanks so much!

[@justin-reed]

It really is

[@Chrissywissyprissy]

@ Carnisha XO I definitely agree . She gives slot of insights so when I do move out I'll know what to do

[@Jo.Raquel]

Vid came on time. I'm repairing my credit and before when I was young I didn't know what I did want. But now as I'm older I really want to be financially able to have my own. Adulting is hard! Bills can be stressful. You know, working two jobs for others look easy until you do it. Hopefully I hope I get there. It's harder when you're doing it alone.

[@MrsBrittanyGold]

Jraquel26 oh if anyone feels you I do. I now work two jobs so I know the struggle but like I always say, "As an adult, you have to do what you have to do". But I'm proud of you for turning things around and I hope things continue to work out for you. Keep me posted!

[@Jo.Raquel]

Brittany Daniel Will do

[@Jo.Raquel]

Brittany Daniel About to see this go with making a payment plan on a collection to pay it off. Hopefully it does wonders. Score has went up a bit. I'll keep you updated what's to come.

We're using this video for my econ class

[@RandySoWavvy]

I’m 22 getting my first apartment in LA I have a good job and can afford the $1500 rent for my 1 bed 1 bath I’m getting. My credit isn’t good but my income makes up for it my problem is how do you set up utilities when you move in?

[@mademoisellek4289]

This video is sooo helpful and informative! Thank you!

[@alondraadepp]

What do you think about breaking a lease early but paying the fee? Not sure if this affects my renters history or if the “lease break fee” will make up for it and NOT affect my history?

[@MrsBrittanyGold]

alondra c that’s a good question. I’m not sure. I would ask your apartment how they report that. If you pay the fee, which can be the rent for the rest of the year (not sure) sometimes isn’t worth the money or headache. But I would just ask and see what they say. If it does affect it in a bad way, I wouldn’t do it unless you HAVE to. But changing apartments in the same complex is easy and most of the time easy to do.

[@RakeshKumar-lx6kh]

alondra c Xxxxxx at Steve Xxfcsv

[@RSRRealty]

I know this is really late, but breaking your lease does not negatively affect your credit. It does affect your rental history, but most (if not all) will be okay with a broken lease on your rental history so long as the balance has been paid off.

[@rollmic]

Thank you for the info!

[@mikem2022]

What if I have bad credit or no credit history/rental history and I want to sublease trying to sublease for $680 per month I’m make about $2800 per month after taxes I’d appreciate the advice

[@MrsBrittanyGold]

if you don't have rental history you will most likely pay a first time renters fee. Also, It will depend on where you live to get something that cheap. I don't know where you live but just do some searching online or look into getting a roommate to cut down costs.

[@Mobeku]

You had so many good tips! Thanks!

[@zuks2899]

Im 13 and im already planning to live alone

[@cintiavillanueva89]

whats a good credit score that apartments usually look for????

[@MrsBrittanyGold]

it depends. They normally just want to see if you have any evictions on your record but you don't need an outstanding credit score to get a new apartment.

[@cintiavillanueva89]

thanks for responding!! its gonna be my first apartment me and my husband are moving in together, he is in the military idk how that affects us but i also have a credit score of about 657 right now

[@neworleanzgrl]

Excellent tips

[@MrsBrittanyGold]

Thank you very much! I'm happy you enjoyed it!

[@soccerchick9841]

I’m staying at home for now, after I graduate college I want to be moved out in a year.

[@MrsBrittanyGold]

It's not a bad option. Then just say your money.

[@LUCHOUSE]

NICE GIRLD

[@gurunumba3566]

And how in the fuck do i get someone to co sign, fuck!

[@angelica7588]

I feel very discourage in this area of life. I'm trying my best to move out, but every time I save my money something happens and I end up spending it for a good reason, like I end up robbing petter to pay paul if you ever heard of that phase. I'm so happy I found you.

[@MrsBrittanyGold]

It's ok. Things often don't happen when we want it but in God's time. If it were meant for you to move out, things would line up. Be thankful in these moments and blessings will start moving in your fav. Have you considered getting a second job? I have two and if I only had one I would be stressed with everything I'm trying to do. It's not easy. I worked from 9am-4pm then drove 30 mins to work from 5pm-12am I got home around 12:30 and I'm up responding to messages to you guys. It won't be easy but it will be worth it when you're in your new place with extra funds in your pocket. If I can do it, you can do it! Keep me posted on your journey.

[@buba_Dukz]

Brittany Daniel Wow I love this reply. So inspirational. Thanks B

[@xDanniielle]

Smartest decision ever! Move when you are ready to BUY not rent lol

Buying is too expensive

[@alley5869]

not if you SAVE while you're living at home

[@JRich165]

Hey sister I agree Lololol the key is Home for as long as possible.

[@MayAllYourStarsAlign]

I wish I had that option :( When I turned 18, I went to college and my aunt made me move all my stuff out and took my room. I stayed in the dorms for one semester and then have had my apartment on my own ever since May 2015. I wish I had a place to call "home" and go to on the weekends and holidays. I wish I had a place to live at during the summer months. It sucks. I'm jealous, but I also love being independent.

[@ladiiindi]

Girl I just want to say you're dope, you don't leave anything out. And you give advice on everything 101 lol "if it's free it's for me 🤣" luv it!

AWWW thanks love, it's called manual labor lol j/k I do a lot of lifting at my new jobs.

[@Jo.Raquel]

Also I have learned recently you can lock your credit reports/score so when I am able to apply again, they don't have to pull all 3. I would only want 1 to be pulled.

1:20 The state/city I’m in has an apartment that is basically targeted towards people being on their own and they pay for all the utilities even the cable and all I’d have to do is pay for my car insurance and rent. 😍 I can’t wait!!

[@chelseykate14]

I work in a call center for a utilities company and I will preach this-do not co-sign anything or agree to be financially responsible for anyone’s account just to help them out for the “one time” what most people don’t understand is by doing this you’re basically signing up for their debt and it will follow you and hit your credit . I can’t tell you how many people call in to my job trying to start service and they were added to that persons account years ago and the actual account holder racked up over a thousand dollars in bills never paid and the person who added themselves suddenly can’t start their own service until that debt is paid even though they never lived there nor benefitted from the service but they added themselves to the account to make a payment a couple of times to help them out because they were a nice person. I don’t care how good friends you are or if they’re your own mother. HO👏🏻DONT👏🏻 DO 👏🏻IT.

[@isharkjawz5668]

Damn learned alot because I'm getting my first place soon for about, 2k a month on my own buts money is not the problem but I didn't know theirs so many things that went in to getting one thanks

[@JRich165]

That is my exact situation: Live at Dad’s, Flex Cheap Rent, we get along, no pressure and I’ve realized the grace cloud of saving money and eliminating debt. However, even though I acknowledge this blessing and time of focus I get curious and sometimes wonder if I’m cheating Life-??? Like the experience of having Own and or living amongst other peers and just the general COA process of life. I don’t want a roommate as I’ve already shared space my whole life. Idonno. But I love your channel and your topics of sharing. You encourage me to breathe easy and keep making healthy balanced choices to succeed this stage. #GoBrittanyDaniel #MyDLcrush ☺️

Whenever I watch videos on budgeting and apartments I'm reminded that the cost of living in NY is so much higher than the rest of this country lmao like people are outraged by $500 rent? 😂I'm looking for a place around Albany and you really can't find anything worth living in below $800 a month. In fact, you should expect to pay around $1,000+. Same for My hometown downstate. The rural and less urban parts are different to an extent but idk why people like small NY towns. Then NYC is a whole other story on the complete opposite side of the spectrum 😂😂

What’s the price ranges in Texas for apartments?

[@MrsBrittanyGold]

It depends on where you want to live. If you live in the hood, it could go as low as $600/$700 for a one bedroom. In the middle for an ok place. Boujee areas can cost around $1200- 1400 sometimes $2000 for a one bedroom but that's a very nice apartment. It will depend on what you're looking for and where you want to live.

I really want to drop everything here and live in a shelter if i have to tbh. For example, i just got off from work and im now online looking for work or schooling, and then boom! My mom slams through the door and starts having an attitude with me for no reason what so ever. I refuse to talk to my mother, just to avoid any drama.
