In Rust’s recent Common Ground update, the new Apartment Complex monument was added. The monument featured three tiers of apartments for players to rent: basement, standard, and penthouse. The basement apartment is the smallest but cheapest of the three options, making it a solid choice in the early game. In this blog, we will show you everything you need to know about Rust’s basement apartments.
As mentioned before, the basement apartment is the cheapest of the three apartment tiers. It only requires 25 Scrap to rent, meaning players can easily rent one after farming the road for a few minutes. Once rented, the basement apartment requires only 10 Scrap per day to maintain. There are 15 basement apartment rooms available for players to rent.

As you would expect from its price, the basement apartment does not contain many amenities. A small locker is available to hold a single kit. A small sink provides access to water, while a 2-slot stove lets you cook any raw meat you may have. A telephone is available to make calls. A mattress rests in the corner, acting as a Bed. Finally, a tier 1 workbench allows you to craft a range of low-tier items.

The basement apartment is slightly larger than a 1×1, making it a very small, budget choice. As a result, it is not able to hold many items. The basement apartment features 2 Kitchen Cabinets along with a Small Storage Box, totaling 134 storage slots. If you need extra storage, the locker can hold a few extra items.
