We Remember Our First Apartment Too.
Renting your first place shouldn’t require a degree in landlord-tenant law
No jargon, no fine print nobody explains
Just the practical stuff, written for exactly where you are right now
It Started With a Bad First Lease.
We signed our first lease without reading half of it, decorated with painter’s tape and hope, and learned the hard way what a “walkthrough checklist” was supposed to be. MyFirstLease is the resource we wish we’d had — practical, judgment-free, and written for exactly where you are right now, not where a homeowner blog assumes you are.
Meet the Writers
Our guides are written by a small team who’ve each lived through the parts of renting they now write about — from lease fine print to decorating a studio on a real budget. You’ll see their names on the guides that match what they know best.
