A few things to keep in mind, continued:
| | Make sure the landlord also signs the lease and that you receive a copy. |
| | Look for and read all lease addendums and any other additional forms that may come with the lease. |
| | If you have any questions- ask. If you still feel unsatisfied have a lawyer look at it. |
| | Expect to pay anywhere from 2-4 month's rent in advance, part of which will go to a security deposit. |
| | The initial deposit that is attached to the application is usually equal to one month's rent. |
| | At the lease signing you must pay the remainder. This typically consists of the last month's rent and the broker's commission. |
| | In almost all cases the landlord will ask you to pay a security deposit. This is refundable at the end of your lease term plus interest accrued. Security deposit money cannot be used as rent at any during the course of the lease. |
| | Make sure you get receipts and specific explanations of what your money is for and where it is going to be kept. |
