And My rent could possibly go up to 1000 at my one bedroom, and im looking at it as if im paying more for a 1 bedroom that doesnt have as much as the 2 even if it is about 80 more than i would go with that because then atleast i could find a room mate to rent the extra room if ever need be

if you can afford it, go for the better apartment, otherwise stay put

If you need a bigger place and you can afford it I say go for it. But wow, where do you live that you have to pay $910 for a one bedroom apartment. I have a one bedroom house that I'm renting, the house is not that big, its only about 250 square ft, but I have a huge lot that I can do whatever I want to with. I pay $500 a month including water.
I do think the luxury apt sounds very good, better than what you're paying for now.

I suggest looking at the long term of it. If you NEED the two bedroom and garage, swimming pool and recreation then move but if you don't then don't move. In the long run you will save 75.00 a month NOT moving and if you move you will pay more heating do to two rooms. You still have to pay electricity there in either apartment. So do what is less costly unless you want the luxury apartment instead. I would on live in the apartment that i can afford, luxury or not.

75$ more for the 2 bedroom luxury would be where my money goes. It seems to have alot more amenties. If only i could find rent like that in my area. The place you are describing would probably go for over 2k a month where I live.
But it all depends just how tight your bill are every month. If 75 extra a month would get you close to your limit then I would aovid it. But if you can swing the extra 75% I would do it, and the just cut out of other expense I dont need every month. Like eating out.

They say you shouldn't pay more than 1\4 of your take home pay for living expenses. If you are going to have to struggle to make the rent, you really might want to think long and hard about moving.
What are your reasons for wanting to move? Will it help you in some tangible way? If you can't make the rent, and I'm sure you will be required to sign a lease, then what will you do? Do you realize how that will affect your credit record?
If you are thinking you can cut back on food or clothes to make the rent, then don't do it because that never works.

If you can afford dthe 2 bedroom then it might be worth it, but think to yourself....are you going to be using the pool, how far away is the garage from your apartment, do you need the other bedroom?????

What is the 1 bedroom rate going up to? Just consider the cost versus the benefit.
Do the math, decide if the amenities are worth the higher price.

If you have the money go for the 2 bedroom.

I would go for the 2 bedroom, because it is larger and more luxurious!

examine your hire returned. possibly in it ,it says that there is no penalty for shifting out early...yet that in case you DO..they get to maintain your protection deposit. (to illustrate). possibly your landlord would not provide you the time of day and he won't confer with you...yet that would not advise that this problem will only magically go away. in case you are able to no longer understand the words of your hire, you ought to deliver it to somebody like a criminal council, or actual belongings lawyer and have them provide you suggestion. i wish you get a clean job quickly, so as which you will pay your charges, and meanwhile in case you're no longer at artwork...you extra useful be accessible getting suggestion and probably searching for yet another place of residing only incase...
