In order to rent a place, you'll often be required to pay the first and last month's rent, as well as a security deposit (usually the size of one rent payment) – so that's three months’ rent. Depending on how you find the apartment, there may or may not be a fee you pay the broker. Don't forget to incorporate the cost of the move itself and any furniture you plan to buy. Make sure you add in the changes to your new utilities to your monthly spending as well.

With any of these goals, you'll want to plan to have the money (or at least enough of the money) available when it's time to pay. So if you plan to move August 1st but have to pay the first, last, and security a month earlier, you'll want to have it saved by July 1st.
