Whether you're leaving home for the first time and heading off to college, or skipping the whole college thing and sliding straight into a real job and real life, the Real U Guide to Your First Apartment tells you everything you need to know to move out of the house and start your life for real.

With a hip attitude and practical cut-to-the-chase style, Megan Stine answers all the key questions any young adult will face, including:

· What to expect when signing a lease
· How to dump your roommate
· What can you really afford
· How to avoid the 5 move-in mistakes everyone makes
· How to furnish your new apartment on a budget
· Which days of the week are the worst days to move
· What to look for when apartment hunting (and why you should never go at night)
· What to do if you can't pay your rent, and much more

Filled with 4-color photographs throughout, presented in magazine-style guide, this book is a companion piece to the Real U Guide to Living on Your Own.
