Some of them are asking for first and last months rent plus a security deposit and a move in fee. You might as well put a down payment on a house for that much money.
These landlords are crazy out here.

Ya'll need to fix ya'll credit. Never had to pay the first, nor the last month up front. At most I paid a deposit and even that has been waived in the past. 
I thought it was normal. A lot of them be asking for a brokers fee too.
over here in canada its normal first and last. other places in the world some people have to pay up for the whole year in advance
As for just buying a house, good luck with that. You gotta have the work history, a much bigger down payment, plus you gotta make way more money, so you qualify for the loan. Even if you’ve been paying $2000 rent consistently for years, you might not qualify for a $2000 mortgage.

It's not that serious for real. Security deposit is returned and first and last is exactly what it saysYa'll need to fix ya'll credit. Never had to pay the first, nor the last month up front. At most I paid a deposit and even that has been waived in the past.
Maybe it’s a NYC thing. But it’s usually a whole month’s rent that goes to the rental broker.Never heard of a brokers fee

That is deff a coastal and big city thing. I see it alot in NY and NJ, LA, etc
But when I lived in Ohio, they only required first month plus a deposit. And if you got bad credit the deposit would be equal to the amount you pay for rent

I rented one of my units 4 months ago and I got first, last and security.
My insurance company dropped all policies in Louisiana after hurricane Ida.
I had to get the State ran insurer and it is 40% more and the only option available unless I let the mortgage company put forced place insurance on it at probably 80% more..
Not to mention the last tenant had to be evicted after giving them every chance in the world to do right.
Of course they fukked up my house, so I had to spend way more than normal to make it rentable.
So yeah.
First.
Last.
Security.
Give me my money.
