Alright, let's talk about the Class 6 apartment. It's one of the steps up from your starting digs in East Grestin. You begin in a Class-8 apartment, which is what you get after the October 1982 Labor Lottery. Your family lives there, though you never actually see the inside of it in-game. The same goes for any upgraded apartments you move into. So, when can you actually move into a Class-6 apartment? Well, if you've already upgraded to a Class-7 apartment, the earliest you can be offered a Class-6 apartment is on day 17. This is assuming you have more than 20 credits saved up each day. If you reject the offer, it'll come back around after 2 days of having enough savings. What's the deal with the costs? Moving into a Class-6 apartment will cost you 100 credits for the upgrade itself. Then, your daily expenses change: * Rent: 35 credits per day * Heat: 5 credits per day * Total: 40 credits per day Keep in mind, while the rent goes up a bit from Class-7 (which was 30 credits rent + 10 credits heat = 40 total), the heating cost drops significantly. So, your total daily cost stays the same at 40 credits, but the breakdown is different. Upgrading apartments generally leads to a net monetary loss because rent is mandatory and heating is optional. The main reason to upgrade is usually for achievements, like unlocking the 'Worker's Best' achievement by reaching Class-5. If you ever need to downsize, downgrading from Class-6 back to Class-8 will get you a reimbursement of 150 credits (75% of the 200 credits you spent on the Class-7 and Class-6 upgrades).
