Moving from New York to Los Angeles
Moving from New York to Los AngelesFor a long distance move from NY to LA, having a moving budget lets you see and understand the costs associated with a cross country move. So that you do not receive any financial shocks, it’s important to take into consideration all potential expenses and include them in your moving budget. We have listed below seven of the common expenses that can sometimes come as an unexpected surprise. Utility and housing deposits Before moving into your new home in Los Angeles, you will need to set up services for gas, electric and water. Utility companies may require a deposit, dependent on your credit score. So you can add these costs to your moving budget, contact the utility companies to obtain the range of fees you can expect to pay, in addition to any set up fees. If you’re going to be renting your home in Los Angeles, you will be required to pay a security deposit. The amount depends on the individual landlord, and the monthly rent of the home. The most common amount is equal to one months rent, in addition to the first months rent. If you are moving out of a rental in New York, don’t forget to have your current landlord forward your security deposit. They are legally required to give you back your deposit. Some landlords might subtract a cleaning, or pet fee, which would have been agreed upon in your rental agreement. For any other reasons of subtracting money, the landlord must provide a letter outlining any charges.
