Internship to full-time: Question!!

Hello. I recently graduated from college in May, and I've been interning at a buy-side firm during the summer.

During the interview, the interviewer (my supervisor) told me that the purpose of the internship is to hire into full-time.

The internship ends at the end of this month.

Few days ago, I've been verbally offered the job and I expect to receive the official offer letter in 2-3 weeks.

The problem is that I have to find a place to live near the office very soon because my boss wants me to start right away in early September.

But because I do not know how much salary I will receive, I don't know how much I should spend for monthly rent.

My question is: should I ask my boss how much I should expect to receive? Or is it a bad questioin?

Bad question.

Tell your boss that you need to receive the offer in writing so you can better plan before being able to commit to starting right away... because their are some additional outside factors you need to take care of
