If you have a contract stating that you did indeed pay your money upfront that serves as a first and last months deposit, then there should not be any problem.

If you do not have a contract, then the landlord can say that was a damage deposit...all depends on what you have in writing.

Do you have to pay first month rent last month rent and the security deposit the first month on an aparment?

Some landlords require all three, some don't. It's up to the parties to agree on the terms, but the landlord set his terms, and the tenant can take the place or leave it.


When you pay first and last security deposit on a rental home and you stayed there for your first month do you owe after the first 30 days or do you start paying on the second month you just don't get?

Normally you start paying the rent after 30 days. The landlord keeps the "last" months rent as a security deposit until you move out. In some states, you can use this as the final month's rent on your lease (usually the 12th month.) If you renew your lease the landlord will keep it until your final 30 days. . . that's why it's called the "last" month's rent.


It is against the law for the landlord to ask for first and last months rent to someone who is renting?

Massachusetts statutes allow a landlord to collect, at the beginning of a tenancy, the first month's rent, the last month's rent, a security deposit, and a key fee. Most states are similar.


Can a landlord use your last month's rent to repair the apartment?

No. Your last month's rent is that: your last month's rent. The landlord must allow you to stay in your apartment for the last month and not use that money for any other reason. If the landlord collected a security deposit then he can use it to repair his unit: IF you are the one who damaged it outside the realm of normal wear and tear. He cannot use your security deposit as your last month's rent unless you agree to it.


Is it standard for a landlord to ask for first last and security deposit?

Yes. Virtually all property owners will insist on first, last, and deposit to ensure that the tenant will not move out in the middle of the night, or damage the property.

What is the first and last rule?

The first and last rule generally means that when you move-in you are required to pay your first month rent and your last month's rent. A security deposit may also be charged. But oftentimes your landlord will work with you in making security or last month's rent deposits. The difference between last month rent and a security deposit, both which can equal the same amount, is that the last month rent is used to apply to your last month of rent, while the security deposit is refunded to you provided you leave the apartment in good condition minus reasonable wear and tear. Your security deposit is generally not applied towards your last month's rent, especially if you did pay a last month's rent in advance.
