Monthly and move-in budget

Enter amounts in one currency. Leave a cost blank until you know it, and enter 0 only when someone has confirmed there is no charge. Monthly is rent plus other monthly fees plus utilities. Move-in is one month of those, plus the deposit, plus other move-in costs.

The budget adds up your entries when JavaScript is available. You can still write amounts in the rows below.

This adds up your own entries. It is not a quote: there is no currency conversion, tariff, fee estimate or affordability check, and other costs may still apply.

Tenant checklist

Each row has room for the answer or what you saw, the evidence or receipt, who is responsible, the date and a status. Leave a status at Not started until you have an answer; a row you skip prints as unconfirmed. Work through the stages in order if that helps, but record each answer when you get it: the advertiser may confirm the deposit before you have even viewed the home.
