One tip for moving for the first time and saving money is to ask older relatives if the have spare plates or silverware etc that you could borrow or have 🙂

[@ajreads7350]

this could not have come a better time!!! literally apartment hunting as we speak, but i’ve been getting discouraged. ty for this!

[@kaitlinbenz255]

I'm buying a house at the moment, and have been a renter for like a decade now, but I watched this whole video through and it was great. Really thoughtful, this will help some people so much!

[@sofiarubinstein157]

This could not have been posted at a better time!! THANK YOU!! 💕💕

[@tomgabel99]

From my experience, most people move to be near work or college, and also where their friends are. Don't choose a place just from the heart though, Be practical. Also, don't break your Contract if possible because that will cost you. Lastly, women should make sure it's a safe area for them. Hope that helps.

[@Akosua_donkor]

This was very helpful. Thank you.

[@ambargonzalez8862]

Seriously, I’ve been binge watching a lot of your videos and they’re sooo helpful!!!! Thanks for the amazing content!!!

[@reneetatarek8935]

I’m a long time renter and still found this video to be full of helpful reminders! Definitely interested in your take on renting decor 👍

[@alexandra9688]

This week I'm gonna move in my first apartament and this really helps! Thank youu!!

[@martamercier9879]

Great video, very helpful! I may be renting an apartment soon, so any good content related to this topic is great! Thanks 😊

[@ericamoney6257]

This is good advice with good timing! I’m getting ready to move into my first apartment out of college in a big city. Thanks Caitlin!

[@raedusoleil6375]

This is so useful! I’m actually about to rent my first apartment next week! I’d definitely also be interested in a rental decor video.

[@tiffany2709]

Love this thanks Caitlin! For your renters decor video could you talk thru your process of deciding what you want?

[@kenwave]

this is super super helpful! i'm planning on moving out next summer (i know very far ahead) and i'm already looking out for deals and am buying things ahead of time so it's not as painful on my bank account lol

[@marthaivester7348]

Enjoyed and would love to see the decor

[@Mymakermovie77]

Would LOVE a rental decoration video! I need some inspo. You don't have slanted roofs in your apartment right? That's a struggle I'm facing right now lol

[@veronica-AM]

Also make sure you save a copy of your lease papers and you can claim them on your taxes (🇨🇦)

[@zoelea7714]

also! in Ontario, if you have a car and renters insurance this generally lowers your car insurance payments when you bundle so you kind of get renters insurance for free! :)

[@zekedcruz]

Awesome advice!! Would you have another book recommendation like the "wealthy renter" but one that's US or UK based?

[@Andrezacr1]

Watching this and I couldn’t have come at a better time. I am going to study in Toronto, I am going in December and my semester starts in January. And I need to find a place to live while I am there. Do you know websites that I can look? I am Brazilian and I have no idea where to look. 🥲

[@TonyBurgess1969]

I highly recommend renters insurance because it will save you in case of disaster or fire.

[@morganreystark9742]

[@lauramalyk8246]

What are the things you needed when you moved out that you never thought about? I'm moving out for the first time in the spring and I have no clue what I'm forgetting

[@tomgabel99]

Practical things like: can opener, scissors, various types of screw drivers, batteries, a lamp or two and bulbs, kettle, small things like spoons etc. Lastly, chocolate and coffee to keep you going on moving day.

[@Inbedwhereelese]

toilet paper for the day of moving!
