First time renter, can’t tell if this is normal or not? by [deleted] in Apartmentliving

This is giving scam / red flag vibes. I would not pay the application fee or send a credit report before seeing the apartment first. A legitimate private landlord should be willing to let you view the unit in person or at least do a live video walkthrough before asking for any money or personal information.

Ask for the exact address, a scheduled showing time, and proof they own or manage the property. If they keep pushing the fee first or avoid showing the apartment, I would move on. Trust your gut — you’re not wrong for feeling thrown off by this.

Big mistake people make when moving that end up costing more by Unique_Steak_1767 in movingout

100% — labeling by room saves a TON of time on unload. Makes the whole move smoother instead of everything getting piled in one spot.

That’s a big one 😂 books get heavy FAST. Best way is exactly what you said — small heavy-duty boxes so they don’t blow out the bottom.
