This depends upon what you mean by "no security." When a landlord rents to you, you have the right to live in a decent, safe, and sanitary dwelling. If you move into the property and find that any of these components are deficient, you have the right to move out and break your lease under the constructive eviction clause. Keep in mind that your landlord may try to keep your security deposit because of this, and may hold you responsible for any unpaid rents until he rents out the unit again or until the lease expires, whichever comes first. If the landlord takes you into court and/or keeps your security deposit, you may make a counter claim for any money he has taken from you, and may present the defense that the conditions were unsafe for you to remain in the dwelling. Now, be aware, that as long as you remain a tenant on the property, you have a legal obligation to pay the rent or be evicted. There is no legal excuse for nonpayment of rent.

Does section 8 pay for first and last month's rent?
Some Housing Authorities will pay the security deposit as well as the first months rent for a tenant. What I mean by rent is their portion of the rent: the tenant is still obliged to pay their portion of the rent. But very few housing authorities do this.
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.
Do you have to pay full rent after you have paid a month and a half rent plus security?
If you mean prior to moving in, No. In order to secure the apartment, you're paying first months rent plus security so there's no need to pay it again. Obviously you'll pay again at the end of the month or start of the first for the second month and so forth until you decide to move out.

The first month's rent pays for your first month in the apartment. You will owe the agreed-upon rent to the landlord the second month. I can't see why anything would be prorated--your security deposit cannot be used for rent.

What is retention money or security money?
When you rent an apartment, landlords usually ask for a security deposit equal to a month's rent. Renters can potentially cause all sorts of problems for landlords, they can damage the property that they rent, they can refuse to pay their rent, etc. This way landlords have at least some ability to penalize a tenant who causes these kinds of problems, by refusing to return the security deposit (in part or in full).
