You are wrong. Those fees are added to the normal rent, they are not part of it. I choose my current appartment in part because there was no additional "gift money" to pay. Each time one moves place those have to be paid, which makes moving quite costly.

I'm not wrong. Different apartments give different offers just like everything else in the world.

I think gfxgirl's point is that you can mentally model the gift money as added on the rent, and use that number when comparing apartments.

Ex. 50/mo + 240 gift money (for a 2 year lease) == 60/mo without gift money.
