It depends on the size of your apartment, how many roommates you have. If you have a two bedroom at Vista the rent $81, for a 3 bedroom at Vista the rent is $69, I'm not sure how much the rent is for a 4 bedroom at Chatham and I think all Chatham prices are just a couple dollars higher than Vista, I'm not positive though, but I know the difference isn't much.
They take the rent out of your paycheck weekly, you'll see it in the detailed paystub. I never really had a problem paying my rent and still having money left over because I was in QSR and always had a lot of hours. I had it figured that at $6.75 an hour and paying $81 a week, 12 hours of what I worked a week went straight towards my rent and any other hours I worked would be my money.

I just noticed you original post on the other board and realized you had more questions that I can answer.
I never had a problem with money when I was on my CP, at one point I had about $600 in my savings account. That only happened once though. I didn't work a crazy amount of hours I usually got my 40 and then sometimes especially during the busy seasons I got overtime but I didn't go out of my way to pick up hours to make extra money. I did most of my grocery shopping at wal-mart, I only went to walgreens when I needed something right away, walgreens was way too expensive to buy groceries there all the time. I wasn't a crazy partier but my friends and I really liked to spend a lot of time in the parks, go out to dinner and movies, and we even had season passes to Universal. I didn't drive so I didn't have to worry about gas, I suppose that might make a difference when it comes to your budget. So I actually spent a lot of money but I made enough to cover my expenses and their were very few weeks that I actually felt pressed for money before my paycheck.

What I did, was worked my normal shifts, and then when the two weeks around easter came, I picked up every possible shift. It was a long 2 weeks, but the overtime and double time added up. It was nice having a huge paycheck, and then I took 3 days off and just layed at the beach.
:sohappy: Thanks guys for answering this thread and the other one! hahha you are all awesome and helped me so much.
