Let me start talking about this with Stamford Connecticut as a real good example. On an average the current connecticut resident pays $1400 per month + utilities on 1BHK in a very decent residential. Absolutely true. In such cases it makes wildest sense to see if there is a way to save on rental
Why do I end up paying more?
Mostly people who landup here end up paying hefty rental just because of the fact that they get posted in stamford without prior notice, personnel who migrate from countries outside USA to USA for job reasons and find projects in such expensive localities, consultants who often end up finding interim projects in and around NYC etc.
How do I save on rental when I end up in expensive cities?
As a first step see if you can find short term lease - This can be anywhere from 3-months to start with. Though you pay $100 to $200 extra during initial months, you will save extremely big in long run
2) Talk to your friends and co-workers - Nothing like information sharing. Talk to co-workers and get details on residential that offer affordable homes
3) Start searching for residential the very same day - All things come to those who don't procastinate. Nothing like doing things on time. Start searching in local newspapers, websites onlien that same day
4) Post your requirement in office notice board - Put an advertisement on your requirement in office noticeboard. You cna also send mail to all your friends and mention that you would be interested in paying commission if they help you find real good rental
5) Have complete information before signing the lease - Cities like stamford ct offer most expensive rentals in USA. Most apartmetns here charge utility charge separately that comes close to $150 per month. Also, you might end up paying first and last month rental as security deposit. Save money carefully during first 3 months and ahve financial cushion to support your needs
6) Choose a cheap parking space - Parking within apartment with garage facility is really expensive mostly 2 times price of private parking that are pretty closer to residential. Check with friends , visit parking spaces to check availability slots and price before deciding on apartment parking. One catch is that there is no shortterm on apartment parking. Choose care pool until you settle safe
