So they wanted a check before you said yes please let me sign a lease? Sure it’s not the deposit? So you want the place yes? If you toured and want it and want them to take it off the market taking a deposit isn’t weird. Then when you actually sign lease after you’ve read it and first months rent gets paid…. Are they suggesting first months and deposit before signing?

The check was the deposit. I gave it before officially signing the lease, and they confirmed it would be returned if I didn’t take the unit after all. I live in a newer building with high demand on the East Side, and it was to hold my place until all the docs were signed. Then first month was due before move in day.
