That's legal in every state I know of.
Yes, it is legal to require a last month's rent from a tenant int he state of Washington. In fact it is very common practice. You could ask the landlord if it could be prorated.
Yes you can. Your landlord cannot use your last month's rent as security deposit and vice versa.
Yes, I believe so. The security deposit is limited to 2 month's rent which is pretty much what you are asking about.
Almost never.
The maximum rent in advance that a landlord can charge depends on the jurisdiction, as different laws apply in different countries or regions. Similarly, the maximum bond (security deposit) that a landlord can charge varies based on local laws and regulations. It is advisable to consult the specific regulations of your jurisdiction or seek legal advice to determine the exact limits.
You can get out of a lease but there is always a penalty. Usually you have to pay aat least a months rent plus an additional charge. Some properties can charge you for the rest of the lease. That means if you have six months left on your lease then you owe six months rent!
The legal requirements to rent a home in the state of Virginia will include having the money to pay the rent as well as giving written notice in a timely manner before moving out. Individual landlords will have different rules for renting.
Most states have laws that say you do.
Yes. If you mean 'the rent for last month', certainly. If you mean the 'last month rent deposit', probably, if the rental agreement states that the deposit was to have been funded.
Confusing query; rent cannot go up during the lease.
No, you are not required to pay last months rent again. Just make sure you are not mistaking it for the security deposit. Rent and security deposits can be the same amount. Check your rental agreement for clarity. Julie
