About New Place Kit

New Place Kit exists for one moment: the first time you get keys to a place of your own. It's exciting, it's expensive, and there's no manual — so we made one. Practical checklists, honest numbers, and setup guides written for people doing this for the first time.

We research everything we publish and keep lists limited to what first-time renters genuinely use. Some links on the site are affiliate links — see our disclosure for how that works.
