I’m a student attending UNF and I don’t have a job. Are there any affordable apartments?

If you are apartment hunting on a budget then there I have several tips on how to find the perfect apartment, while staying within your budget. Finding apartments that are all inclusive provide roommate matching, and the features and amenities that are offered are all items to consider when renting on a budget.

Many apartments near UNF offer all inclusive rent. What is an all inclusive apartment and how does it save me money? An all inclusive apartment provides water, electric, and rent all into one bill. This saves you money because you don't have to put extra deposits down for things like electric and cable. The apartment complex allots the tenants a certain amount of electricity that can be used per month. So, there is a cap on what is covered in your rent. As long as you stay within the allotted electricity, which is usually very generous, then you don't have to worry about how much the bill is each month. Cable and internet is also included in the all inclusive apartment. This means you have the fastest internet connection and a large selection of cable channels included in your rent. Some apartments even spring for HBO. Not only does this save you the time of putting everything in your name, but you also don't have to put a deposit down for each of these companies. That's a huge savings!

Many apartments offer individual leases, which allow you to live with roommates without having to worry about the complicated matter of splitting the rent and utilities. This is a less expensive option than living alone and creates an opportunity to make live in friends. However, not everyone has the option of hand picking their roommates. If you don't already have a roommate picked out you, like most college students, will find yourself needing roommate matching. With an individual lease you are assigned or pick your roommates, but each tenant is responsible for their own share of the rent. If someone is late paying their rent one month, only that person pays a late fee.

Certain features and amenities an apartment offers can save you oodles of cash at the end of the month. Apartments that provide luxurious community recreation centers with pools and game rooms save residents money because it is all free, and you don't have to even leave your apartment community. Amenities such as 24 hour fitness centers are available to tenants and their guests at any time. State of the art fitness centers are equipped with treadmills; elliptical trainers, free weights, and the most effective weight training equipment are available to tenants at no cost! This can be a huge savings because gym memberships can be as much as $70 a month. Think about your lifestyle and what you do with your free time when apartment hunting.
