Asking rent doesn’t include everything you pay. Broker fees, deposits, and utilities can materially change your monthly budget, so confirm them on the building page and with the management team.

Verify lease term, renewal expectations, and any building-specific fees or requirements (including move-in charges). Then confirm how utilities are billed and whether any amenities come with separate costs or access rules.
