Don’t forget the downpayment and the security deposit and first and last months rent. Oh and if you break the lease you have to pay 4 months rent or the remainder of the rental period, whichever is higher
Don’t forget that your landlord forces you to pay through a 3rd party company that charges a “convenience” fee of ~3% so your $600 rent is actually $620.
Add $75 for each pet if allowed! My buddy was apartment hunting recently and was given a rental agreement that said he would have a deductible on repairs and would have to cover anything over $250. The landlord was just looking to scam and sue someone for repairs he had to do to keep up to code. America’s cooked indeed.
Here it’s just a months rent for security deposit and you pay as normal in a rolling monthly contract. The deposit needs to be held in an independent thingie too so they can’t keep it unlawfully.
First and last month can make sense sometimes, so laws can go “the tenant did pay the last month so you can’t suddenly evict them, they still get to live until the month ends because they did paid for it”
Application fees? For renting? Man America is cooked.
