7 Signs It’s Time to Move to a New Dallas Apartment
February 28, 2020Whether you have lived in your Dallas, Plano, Carrollton, Richardson, Farmers Branch or any other area apartment for a year or ten years, you might wake up one morning to the moving bug or you find yourself dreaming through the listings on AOK Apartment Locators.com You begin to think that the place that used to bring you comfort and security suddenly makes you feel boxed. Sometimes your mind wanders and you may begin to imagine what it’s like to strive by yourself, to start over, or how it would feel to live closer to people you love. Even if this sudden feeling of wanting to move out may be a result of a recent change or something that came on a whim, it is important to make a decision based on clear objectives.
Common Reasons Why People Feel They Want to Move Out of their Dallas Apartment
A Rent Increase
Perhaps the most common reason why people want to move out is that building management decided to increase the rent that accompanies your lease renewal. A typical rent increase would go anywhere between 2% and 4%. On average, expect that rent will have a 3% increase. If you receive notice of a rent increase you can either talk with your landlord and try to negotiate the rent increase or start looking for an apartment that is within the budget.
Commuting is Difficult
Commuting can be really taxing. You may start out feeling excited when you got hired, but if the travel to and from work becomes too stressful, expensive, and inconvenient, you may want to start looking for a place that is nearer wherever you need to be. As a basis, 10-minute commutes and getting easy-access to public transportation are ideal. So, to be productive and less stressed, move to an apartment that is closer to where you spend your days or to an area where commuting is affordable.
Lack of Security
If security is a concern, moving out is valid. You can never call a place your home if you don’t feel safe there alone. Perhaps things in the neighborhood changed and you find yourself seeing more sketchy characters around. The lack of security features, too, like a gated entry, double locks on doors, a keypad entry, 24-hour surveillance, can be a cause of anxiety. If your apartment isn’t secure, it is better for you and the people you are living with to find a new place. Think of your peace of mind.
You Don’t Like Your Roommate
There are those days that your roommate just gets on your nerves. The noise, not cleaning up after themselves, rude, parties every night at your place, not taking out the trash, others — a person can only take so much! You can either ask your roommate to leave but this can be quite traumatic. If you are living with someone whose habits aren’t amusing anymore, moving to a new apartment may be better for both of you.
Landlord Problems
Whether it’s an absentee landlord or poor building maintenance, people would choose to leave because of poor management. This is obvious if management takes forever resolve requests for repairs, do not maintain common areas, or is always unavailable when tenants have questions. If you feel your needs as tenants are deliberately being ignored, you may choose not to sign the new lease.
Life Choices: Following Your Dream
People choose to live simply because they want to follow their dreams. By dreams we mean either pursuing a passion, fulfilling that lifelong plan to live in a certain place, living in a place that supports the lifestyle you always wanted, or simply wanting a change and taking that leap of faith.
If you feel this is you, try to ask yourself these questions first before making that decision:
– Am I bored with my current job?
– If I resign, how easy would it be to find a new job?
– Can I work remotely? Is my job portable?
– Is there a city, country, or state I’ve always wanted to live in?
– What are the responsibilities I need to consider?
– Can I afford to move out?
– Can I afford not to move?
Once you answer these questions, you get a clearer picture of what to expect when you finally decide to move out. Some people feel they want to move simply because they’ve outgrown their current home, but if you really think about it and be introspective, there are factors that made you feel that in the first place.
