For this you will have to check with your own states laws about what can be collected to move into a rental property. Some states allow this, some states don't.
This depends on the total of your lifetime earnings,
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.
Under the Tenant Security Deposit Act, a landlord of a residential rental property can collect a security deposit of 2 weeks' rent if the tenancy is week to week, 1 1/2 months' rent if the tenancy is month to month, or 2 months' rent if the tenancy period is greater than month to month (such as a yearly tenancy). The Act also allows the landlord to ask for a "reasonable" non-refundable pet deposit.
No, you wouldn't have paid enough into the system to qualify.
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.
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.
Yes, a landlord can ask for first and last month plus security. They are entitled to ask for what they would like, and you don't have to agree with it, therefore you don't have to rent from them.
yes
Unless your particular state has a provision for back pay -- most do not -- you will be unable to collect back pay. It is your responsibility to file for unemployment and the fact that you did not do so during your first unemployed month is unfortunately entirely your loss.
The Townsend Plan promised every senior citizen $200 per month , regardless of past earnings. Under the social insurance program of the Social Security Act a worker whose earnings averaged $100 month for 40 years would collect a Social Security retirement benefit of only $35 month.
Yes, but you must let social security know about the income. Your benefit amount may be reduced some to offset part of the income.
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.
