Reply to comment by Loggerdon in Would I need to pay Rent Twice? by evilhaw

Not every landlord, but it is most common. I've personally only ever paid first full month + deposit + pro-rated first month if applicable. I've only paid last months rent up front once in almost 30 years of renting.

In some states, they can't ask for first month + last month as security deposit

I’m pretty sure can ask for first and last in every state, but not everywhere will let landlords do first, last, and a deposit on top. That’s the case in my jurisdiction, only first and last.

Here in NJ, security deposit can't be more than 1.5x rent
