You'll need to have a look and see what the going rent is for your area; that'll give you an idea of your potential rent costs.
You'll also have to find a landlord willing to rent to minors. Legally you cant be held liable to a lease as you're not seen as adults, so you have little chance of finding one.
On top of rent, you've got the up front costs of deposit and the first months' rent; then you've got bills, insurance, food, transport, and lots of other costs.
Where are you located? Little Rock or Boston...
The rent is based on the geographic area.
You are unlikely the find a landlord that will rent to two 17 year old.
If you want to remain friends, it's probably not a good idea to rent an apartment together.
No LL will rent to 17 years old. Against the law to enter a contract when underage
$1,500 is reasonable most places. The pets will make it more expensive if you can find a place that allows them. Don't forget to budget for utilities, food, vet bills, pet food, transportation and personal care and if you want and can afford them cable tv, cell phones and internet.
So my friend and I are looking to rent an apartment together. We are both 17 and have jobs and our parents have agreed to let us get an apartment since we have been friends for so long.
What is a reasonable rent price for a 2 bedroom apartment that allows pets.
