I want pictures of the new apartment! Fair play, turnabout....
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That makes me sad, sj, though Deb is right, the apartment needs to come first.

full first month, full last month, and a half month's deposit.
Oh, ouch. But yeah, apartment comes first. We'll miss you!

full first month, full last month, and a half month's deposit.
Sadly, this is par for the course in this part of country. I've been lucky my last to places to just need 2 months up front, but 3 is not unusual, and if you're going through a realtor/rental agency it can be as much as 4 (usually you can get the deposit back if you've kept the place in the condition you rented it, but if you had to pay a fee to the agent, that's money gone bye-bye).

Yikes. I paid first plus $99 here, which really surprised me, but first plus a month's rent as security is more what I'm used to. Even better is Quebec, though, where any security deposit, key deposit, or anything above first month is illegal.

I'd have to find my old checkbook to be sure, but I think I paid first month's rent plus a $300 security deposit for my place. Didn't get that first month pro-rated though, and I didn't start moving in until the 15th.
