I may have landed my dream job in Phoenix. The company may be paying to relocate me. I live in an apartment in Cleveland, OH. How much would be fair to me and the company, to relocate? Also it was mentioned that some of the $$ they would front for my move would be paid back... what's fair with that?

it all depends on where in the Phoenix area that you live. I have had realllllly scary crap apartments in the bad parts for about 450 a month and have since moved into a beautiful apartment in Scottsdale that runs about 1000 a month.
Phoenix is a funny place in that you have some seriously nice areas and some really dangerous ones all within blocks of each other. I would suggest that you do not rely on the internet to decide if a place is good or not as I have seen some very decieving ads on the internet for apartments.
Find some places that you think might be good, fly to Phoenix and before moving, physically check the places out. I would honestly stay out of downtown Phoenix (not safe, boring, nothing to do most days) and look towards old town Scottsdale if you must be near the city

Make sure you are very clear, and have in writing, just what the company is providing for relocation benefits. It's common for there to be a clause that if you leave their employ before a certain time, usually a year, you have to pay back some or all of the benefits, but otherwise their talk of repayment should be a red flag. Read very carefully anything that you have to sign, BEFORE you sign it, and make sure you have a copy of it that has their signature on it also.
They might be totally legit, but it just has a bit of a funny sound about it.

state laws vary. in NJ, there is a big difference between miles and minutes. if the employer is moving, then continuing work may be an offer of new work because the conditions changed. you would have to show good cause for not traveling the extra 15 miles, but you may have good cause. how is traffic? do you have to drop a child off at daycare first? what are your hours? is it 15 miles further for you? do you have reliable transportation?
