No. The asking rent is only one part of the monthly and move-in total. Still confirm broker fee policy (if any), security deposit, and whether utilities are included or billed separately.

Ask about lease start dates, renewal terms, any move-in fees, utility responsibility, and building policies that affect your day-to-day (laundry access, package handling, and maintenance response).
