Moving into a new apartment costs more than the monthly rent. Knowing the upfront numbers in advance helps you plan and avoid surprises on move-in day. This post breaks down the published move-in costs at Millington Oaks, 4945 Navy Rd, and lists the other expenses most renters should budget for. Where a number isn’t published, we say so and suggest asking.
The published fees
Application fee: $50
The application fee at Millington Oaks is $50. You pay it when you submit the official application through Rent Manager: apply now. This website itself does not collect application payments. If more than one adult is applying, ask the office how fees work for each applicant.
Security deposit: $250
The security deposit is $250. A deposit is generally held against damage beyond normal wear and tear or unpaid amounts at move-out. Ask the office how and when the deposit is due and how move-out inspections work.
Other charges can apply
Other charges can apply depending on your situation. For example, pet rent is collected at the community if you have a pet. Call for the current pet policy, including any fees or restrictions. We don’t publish a move-in special on this site; if one is available when you apply, the office will tell you.
Rent
Starting rents are published:
- One bedroom, one bath, 750 square feet: from $875 per month.
- Two bedrooms, one bath, 850 square feet: from $975 per month.
Pricing is subject to change and depends on the specific home and availability. Ask the office when your first month’s rent is due and whether it is prorated if you move in partway through a month. You can see both layouts in the floor plans section.
A simple example
To get a rough sense of the upfront total, add the published fees to one month of starting rent. This is only an illustration, not a quote; confirm the actual figures with the office.
- One-bedroom: $875 rent + $250 deposit + $50 application fee = $1,175.
- Two-bedroom: $975 rent + $250 deposit + $50 application fee = $1,275.
Those totals don’t include other charges that may apply, or any of the personal moving costs below.
Costs outside the lease
Utilities and services
Ask the office which utilities you will set up in your own name, and contact those providers in advance. Some require deposits or setup fees of their own. Add internet and phone service if you need them.
Renters insurance
Ask whether renters insurance is required and at what coverage. Even if it isn’t, it can be worth having. See renters insurance basics.
Moving itself
Truck rental or movers, boxes, fuel, and time off work all add up. If you are on military orders, check with official sources about what your move entitlements cover. Our PCS checklist covers the housing side.
Setting up the home
Every Millington Oaks home includes a fully equipped kitchen with a refrigerator, range, and oven, but you may still need shower curtains, cleaning supplies, light bulbs, and basic kitchenware. Our first-apartment checklist is a handy list.
Tips for keeping move-in costs down
- Have your documents ready so you only apply once. See application prep.
- Book movers or a truck early, especially around holidays and month-end.
- Choose the size you need. A one-bedroom starts $100 lower per month than a two-bedroom.
- Do a thorough move-in inspection and document the home’s condition with photos.
Budgeting past move-in day
Upfront costs are a one-time hurdle; rent is every month. Our rent-to-income budgeting post and the affordable apartments in Millington page look at the monthly side. If you’ll share a two-bedroom, read roommates in a two-bedroom.
