Apartment hunting 101
Be prepared to pay for a security deposit (usually equal to the first month’s rent) as well as the full first month’s rent. If you’re moving in the middle of the month, you may also be responsible for the percentage of rent for the remainder of the month. Some apartment managers also require the payment up front of the last month’s rent in addition to the first and the security deposit. Check the terms of the lease as these details should be outlined therein.
