Most places you need to pay a deposit fee, first and last months rent to move in, a pet fee. Some places you must pay a monthly pet rent.

Many utilities now require an advance fee to hook up services and some also require a deposit.

I'd recommend waiting on a car so you know how much you can afford to pay monthly. Add to that insurance, gas and up keep. An emergency stash to cover tires and other unexpected break downs

If you don't yet have a job lined up yet, do you have some one you could stay with until you find a job? That's a lot of expenses to commit to without having a source of income.

How much this will cost depends on the area and what services you order. Basic cable vs extras are different in different area depending on competition. You might have to go without some of those things until you've established an income.
